How many people reading this are dog lovers? Did any of you catch that episode of Dogs 101 where they were talking about the English toy spaniel? I saw it on Animal Planet right after a commercial for Energy Savings and the minute I saw those frilly ears and that mournful puppy dog face, I fell in love.
The allure of the English toy spaniel is in the quiet elegance of the breed which obscures the underlying qualities of a great tracker and a loyal friend. Their ears are the most recognizable feature on a spaniel – long, soft and flowing – but they also require the most work in order to avoid infection. The coat on the spaniel is also surprisingly robust, but it’s no surprise when you consider the fact that these dogs were meant to hunt.
Water is absolutely no problem for this breed and, if you find yourself adopting one of your own, you might find it harder to keep him or her out of the water. And their compact size makes them perfect for traveling to the ideal hunting grounds to hunt small fowl. Just make sure you give them enough exercise and train them regularly to avoid territorial behavior.
