The English springer spaniel breed is a medium-sized sporting dog breed. More specifically, the English springer spaniel dog breed is one of the gun dog breeds, like retrievers, setters, and pointers. All the gun dog breeds were originally developed to retrieve animals, usually birds that hunters had shot down.

    Historical notes: English Springer Spaniels started appearing in paintings as early as the 1600s. The breed may be the ancestor of most modern spaniels. The English springer spaniel breed and the Cocker Spaniel breed were not recognized as separate breeds until the 1800s.
    This is why the field-bred English setter is sometimes called the Llewellin Setter.
