Background:

Recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1906, the ancestry of the Welsh Springer Spaniel dates back to several millenia.  Being a hardy dog exclusively bred for hunting, it went through centuries without changes.  On the hunting field itself, the Welsh Springer Spaniel has a tendency to wander and can benefit from early training.

Personality:

The Welsh Springer is a cheerful dog with a somewhat independent mind set.  It definitely does better in a country setting as opposed to apartment living.  It is a pleasant dog overall to be with and share your life with.
