Developed to flush game from cover and to retrieve it, the English springer spaniel's coat is liver and white, black and white or tri-coloured. The English Springer is the most popular of the spaniels for working in the field. A happy and very biddable temperament lends itself well to family life. Field-bred and bench-bred dogs are available - as the names suggest the Field type is used in the field for hunting and the Bench type is bred for their looks in the show ring.
