According to the AKC, American Kennel Club, and the only purebred registry in the world, the English Springer Spaniel
was first recognized back in the 1880's for its natural hunting ability and as the origin of the Springers we know and love
today. Although the Springer and Cocker Spaniels may once have come from the same litter, in 1902, the Kennel
Club of England formally separated the English Springer Spaniel and Cocker Spaniels as separate breeds
with distinct characteristics and talents.
The English Springer Spaniel is a medium sized dog of talent and beauty, with excellent hunting skills. The dogs
are energetic, friendly, and loyal companions.
Snow Hill Springer Spaniels, based in southern New Jersey, began as a hobby with the purchase of a lovely
little black and white female Springer from Megan's line.
Sixteen years later, Black Rose has founded a line of loving pets and competitive champions who bring joy to their
owners.
The hobby now consumes my time in raising a very small number of litters, then showing, training, and caring
for those that will enter the show ring.
