Pretty adult Welsh Springer Spaniel female
This is one more member of the spaniel family – the Welsh Springer Spaniel. Thought to be comparable to the old Land Spaniel, they are similar to the English Springer Spaniel and historically have been referred to as both the Welsh Spaniel and the Welsh Cocker Spaniel. They are loyal and affectionate, and these qualities became the dogs in excellent companion for the family, friend for the children, and resceptively wary of strangers. Health conditions are limited to those common among many breeds of dog, although they are affected more than average by hip dysplasia and some eye conditions. They are a working dog, bred for hunting, and while not as rare as some varieties of spaniel, they are rarer than the more widely known English Springer Spaniel with which they are sometimes confused.
