ENGLISH SPRINGER 
SPANIEL — The Eng' 
lish Springer comes from

he has speed, agility, and 
endurance. His coat is 
of medium length, flat 
or wavy but not curly, and short and fine on the head, front of forelegs, 
and front of hindlegs below the hock. The colors are liver and white, 
black and white, liver and tan, in fact, anything except red and white,
