English Springer Spaniels are the tallest of the Spaniels, and are very active gundogs which need lots of exercise. The Field bred Springer Spaniels have shorter, coarser coats than the show dogs. Their coats come in black and white, liver and white - both of which can have tan markings above the eyes or muzzle.
