The Welsh Springer Spaniel is not one of the commonest Spaniels, but is certainly one of the most attractive. His invariable red and white colouring, his legs well proportioned to his body, his domed intelligent head combine to give him a sprightly and handsome appearance. He is certainly a very old breed and has been bred true in Wales for centuries. His nature is lively, and he has the intelligence, faithfulness and endurance common to all spaniels.

These red and white Spaniels may be described as enlarged Cockers, but with less feathering and shorter ears. The Welsh Springer was recognised by the Kennel Club as a separate variety variety in 1902. He is a symmetrical, compact, strong, merry and very active dog, not stilty, and obviously built for endurance and activity. His coat should be flat and thick and of a nice silky texture, never curly or waved. Colour: only red and white. The uniformity of colour and its irregular distribution give him quite a picturesque appearance. Height about 12 in. Weight: 35-40 lb.
