Spaniel dog breeds are true gems in the dog world. They are cute and athletic working dogs. Many of them are excellent hunters, and they can be equally as good as Poodles, Setters or Labrador Retrievers, for example.
We will discuss four types of Spaniels here; get ready to meet the Springer, Cocker, Sprocker and King Charles Spaniels.
There are a few more breeds that are not quite Spaniels but everyone calls them that, and they are just as adorable as our little dogs.
Many of these breeds look alike and it is really hard to tell which one is which. So, continue with reading to find out more.
Come with me in this endearing journey and enjoy our walk with these fluffy good boys.
1. Cocker Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Smart, happy and gentle
Weight: 20 to 30 pounds
Size: 13.5 to 15.5 inches
Lifespan: 10 to 14 years
Group: Sporting
Welcome, welcome! First in line is the alpha and omega of all the Spaniel dog breeds, a hunting dog and a sporting dog – the Cocker Spaniel.
They are just big enough to be excellent at sports, while being small enough to be a perfect cuddling lap dog. Please check out how big this cutie pie will grow.
This is a breed you just can’t resist. And, with all the physical activity they do, like sports and hunting, make sure you give your Cocker the right amount of food by following this feeding chart.
Beauty comes with a price, and the price for a Cocker Spaniel is not small. However, it is not surprising for a dog that has held the title of most beloved dog for many years.
There are a few additional things you will definitely pay for if you decide to get yourself a Cocker, and the price will be a lot of your time and sweat because they demand a lot of attention.
Beautiful dogs like these demand a lot of hair care too. So, if you’re wondering whether Cocker Spaniels shed, I’ll give you two chances to guess.
One more thing, if you suffer from dog allergies, you will suffer even more when you find out that Cocker Spaniels are not hypoallergenic.
Do you ever wonder if something this cute can be very aggressive? Well, maybe we should ask all the birds that this hunter often persecutes. You might be able to guess their answer!
It’s worth noting that they can also show aggressive behavior outside the hunting context too.
Another doggy trait that this pooch has is vocalizing. If you ever wondered if Cocker Spaniels bark, the answer is yes, a lot. So prepare for some – out of tune – concerts.
Luckily there are many great places you can find a Cocker Spaniel if you live in the UK.
Now all you have to decide is whether you want a female or male Cocker Spaniel.

2. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Hunter: They can be, but usually not
Personality: Affectionate, gentle and graceful
Weight: 13 to 18 pounds
Size: 12 to 13 inches
Lifespan: 12 to 15 years
Group: Toy
Oh those eyes, those deep brown loving eyes of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Even the toughest guy out there melts when he catches a glimpse of this sweetie.
I can’t really decide what the sweetest part of a CKCS is. Is it their loving eyes, fluffy ears, irresistible colors, or the fact that they are so playful and joyful?
And if you thought this sweet potato couldn’t get any sweeter, then you’d be so wrong. There is an even tinier version that is half the size but double the cute. Meet the teacup Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
This easy going dog from England will certainly win you over into declaring them the best dog ever. Certainly, they do best in the role of a companion dog and a lap dog; the Duchess of Marlborough can confirm that.
And, there is no end to the surprises here. Try to imagine a combination of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with many other super cute pooches. Well, you don’t have to imagine any more because here is a list of CKCS adorable mixes.
The lifespan of a Cavalier King Charles is not short, but you will still want to make sure it’s as long as possible. So, make sure you take good care of your precious fluffy royalty.

3. English Cocker Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Energetic, merry and responsive
Weight: 26 to 34 pounds
Size: 15 to 17 inches
Lifespan: 12 to 14 years
Group: Sporting
This type of Spaniel is perhaps the one that the most fuss is made about. Many people confuse it with the regular Cocker Spaniel and assume the two are the same breed.
However, these hunting dog breeds have a few traits that make them different to each other. Even though the differences are not huge, Cocker Spaniels and English Cocker Spaniels do differ, and not just by name.
It is their colors and personality that distinguish them.
The English Cocker Spaniel is a gun dog that is most effective when chasing a woodcock. This breed is definitely happiest while hunting.
We are talking of a very capable bird hunting dog that can be even more upgraded when paired with another bird hunting dog breed. That could be a Basset Hound English Cocker Spaniel mix.
If you have fallen in love with this breed, as I have, you may look for the best English Cocker Spaniel breeder in the USA for yourself and your family.

4. English Springer Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Friendly, playful and obedient
Weight: 50 pounds
Size: 20 inches
Lifespan: 12 to 14 years
Group: Sporting
Besides Cavalier Spaniels, and Cocker Spaniels, there are also Springer Spaniel dog breeds. And here we have their first representative, the English Springer Spaniel.
You may or may not be surprised when I say that this is considered to be one of the smartest dog breeds out there. I am not surprised because these dogs have the predisposition to be smart.
I can safely say that all hunting dog breeds are utterly intelligent pooches.
These versatile dogs have both brains and looks and are well-mannered pups.
If you want a perfect hunting companion that is considered a medium energy dog breed, then I recommend this little fella.
However, you will not be wrong if you choose one of the adorable and capable Springer Spaniel mixes instead. They are equally smart and cute as their purebred parents.
Another big plus is that you can choose between many doggy colors because this breed is versatile in that area too.
I can’t tell you who the best English Springer Spaniel breeders in the USA are, but I can tell you which the best English Springer Spaniel breeders in Ontario are. Feel free to check them out.

Oh, and if you were wondering why this pooch is called a Springer, it isn’t because spring is their favorite season. It is because their speciality is to spring or to flush birds.
This means they make them fly, while their human companion aims at the birds with a rifle.

5. American Cocker Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Gentle and merry
Weight: 24 to 30 pounds
Size: 15 inches
Lifespan: 10 to 11 years
Group: Sporting
We have already said a lot about the Cocker Spaniel and English Cocker Spaniel so we will say just a few more words about their American brother.
If you like cartoons then you have probably seen the Lady and the Tramp. Lady is a Cocker Spaniel, a fine high-class dog that looks very well looked after.
Some people tend to just call this breed a Cocker Spaniel which causes lots of confusion about what is right and what is wrong.
Some even say that the English and American versions are the same. However, there are a few minor differences between American and English versions.
All in all, this type of Cocker Spaniel is the most confusing when it comes to Spaniel dog breeds.

6. Welsh Springer Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Happy, reserved and upbeat
Weight: 35 to 55 pounds
Size: 17 to 19 inches
Lifespan: 12 to 15 years
Group: Sporting
Like all the other Spaniels, this one was imported from Spain and continued to develop in the pastures and woods of Wales, which seems like a great combination to get a capable hunting dog.
They specialize in springing or flushing, as the name suggests, and they love to play in the fields.
However, just as they are great at hunting, they do equally well as a family pet. Since they are a high energy bird hunter, you need to remember to provide this dog with a lot of exercise. Otherwise, there will be chaos!
A capable hunting dog like this deserves an equally prominent hunting dog name, so you may consider one from this list.
They also have an interesting Welsh name, Llamgi Cymru. I am not sure how to pronounce it, and if you are also not sure, you can call them a Welsh Springer, Welsh Starter or Welshie. So cute.
The Welshie is such a fashionista among Spaniel dog breeds with their rich red and white coat and piebald pattern.

7. Boykin Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Friendly, eager and lovable
Weight: 25 to 40 pounds
Size: 14 to 18 inches
Lifespan: 10 to 15 years
Group: Sporting
Come on, I bet that you thought this one was also an English breed – because I did. It is actually an American breed, and the first place to develop this dog was in South Carolina.
They needed a dog that could chase all sorts of waterfowl and wild turkeys so they got the idea to create one.
They made them pretty, too; this breed is most notable for its livery brown coat and long ears.
We can also open up the theme of Boykin Spaniel colors. It’s called a little brown dog for a reason.
Yeah, I know it doesn’t sound very appealing when I say that something is livery brown, but you should see the rich brown pigment this dog possesses – it is outstanding.
Besides little brown dog, this beautiful pup is also called swamp dog. They got this nickname after the Wateree River Swamp, the place of their creation.
When we start talking about coats though, the question about shedding immediately pops up. Well, it is an important question since we all want our pups to look super fine.
As we’ve discussed, Spaniel dog breeds need a lot of exercise, so check out the rules for Boykin Spaniel training.
Can you guess the price for a Boykin Spaniel? You should check it yourself for your local area.
I’m guessing that now you have, just like me, fallen in love with this stunner, the next thing you will want to know is where you can get one. If you live in the States, here are the top five Boykin Spaniel breeders in the USA.

8. Clumber Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Mellow, amusing and gentlemanly
Weight: 55 to 85 pounds
Size: 17 to 20 inches
Lifespan: 10 to 12 years
Group: Sporting
You may think that a Clumber Spaniel is actually a clumsy Spaniel due to their appearance, but this white dog breed is actually the biggest of the Spaniel dog breeds.
Due to their sleepy gaze and big body you might also think that they are one of lazy dog breeds and, actually, you would not be wrong.
This chiller killer is so low-key and easy-going that you may want to take away the title of the sporting dog from them. On the other hand, it does make them a perfect family dog.
Don’t think they like to be inactive for a long time though. They will make quite a fuss if they lack entertainment, and that is not a pleasant experience for the dog owner.
Thankfully, they won’t bark a lot. There are some dogs that bark a lot at night, unlike our Clumber Spaniel, but that does not mean they don’t vocalize at all. You might find it surprising that this dog snores – and loudly!
I should probably mention that this dog sheds and drools too. So, if you don’t like to clean, perhaps think twice.
Besides that, this is a super fine Spaniel puppy choice.

9. English Toy Spaniel
Hunter: No
Personality: Playful, intelligent and gentle
Weight: 8 to 14 pounds
Size: 9 to 10 inches
Lifespan: 10 to 12 years
Group: Toy
The English King Charles was truly fond of Spaniel dog breeds, which is why the English Toy Spaniel’s nickname, Charlie, is related to the king.. We can absolutely claim that this sweetheart is a true king among toy breeds.
This mischievous pup actually comes from Japan.
This dog often likes a specific person and would rather ignore a group or unfamiliar faces.
It is such an adorable cutie pie that the only cuter thing I can imagine is, for example, a Pomeranian mix or a Pug mix with our Toy Spaniel as one of the parent breeds.
They are so special that there is even a legend that says the last living creature that Queen Mary of Scotland encountered on her way to the scaffold was an English Toy Spaniel. What an exalted role this dog has had.
Another actually fun fact is that every English Toy Spaniel color has its own name: King Charles is the name for black and tan; Prince Charles is for black, white and tan; Blenheim is red and white; and Ruby for red.

10. Irish Water Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Playful, hardworking and brave
Weight: 45 to 68 pounds
Size: 21 to 24 inches
Lifespan: 12 to 13 years
Group: Sporting
Even though they are not among the tallest dog breeds out there, the Irish Water Spaniel is the tallest among Spaniel dog breeds.
Whiptail, Shannon Spaniel, Rat Tail Spaniel, Bog Dog or as they say in Ireland, An Spainnear Uisce, are all names for this water dog.
As well as their coat being waterproof, it is also hypoallergenic which is great if you have some health issues with allergies.
If you thought only Golden Retrievers are retrievers, then you are wrong. Many water dogs are excellent at retrieving game and this breed is no different.
This rare dog is a rare sight in the field while chasing ducks and also in dog shows.
I was surprised when I found out that as well as being the tallest, it is also the oldest among Spaniel dog breeds. And since they are so old, no one actually knows how they were developed.
Besides being the tallest and oldest, these pooches are also funniest. They are the best comedians in the Spaniel dog world.

11. American Water Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Eager, happy and charming
Weight: 25 to 45 pounds
Size: 15 to 18 inches
Lifespan: 10 to 14 years
Group: Sporting
It is a typical American, developed in the Midwest, near the Great Lakes. It is clear where they learned to be great swimmers.
They needed a dog that would be small and calm enough to be in a boat but strong enough to bring back a goose or a duck both in water and on land.
This is not your average pooch that you can run into on every corner. It is a rather rare breed.
And, imagine this, we actually almost lost this fine breed. Luckily, there were some dog lovers who put in an effort to save the breed.
What kind of American dog would this be if there weren’t American breeders to provide us with this breed?
And did you know that they are the official dog of the State of Wisconsin? I didn’t!
One more funny thing about this dog is that it eats bananas like monkeys. So cute.

12. Field Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Sweet, fun-loving and sensitive
Weight: 35 to 50 pounds
Size: 17 to 18 inches
Lifespan: 12 to 13 years
Group: Sporting
Field Spaniel is one of the black dog breeds that takes down stereotypes (although it can also be dark brown or liver). It is an ultimately docile dog breed that is a perfect combo of gentleman and a hard-working hunter.
It is a highly trainable dog that can both be an active sportsman and fine family dog. They can even be a great watchdog.
One simply can not resist their cute appearance with long hair around their ears and fine feathering around their legs. So adorable.

13. Sussex Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Friendly, merry and even-tempered
Weight: 35 to 45 pounds
Size: 13 to 15 inches
Lifespan: 13 to 15 years
Group: Sporting
Well, this goldilocks might just be your next favorite lap dog. But this feathery doggo is also a very steady hunter, even if it is not clear at first sight.
It is a long and low dog; they kinda remind me of the Dachshund but with far more hair.
Their name indicates that they were developed in the region of Sussex.
There is a funny thing this Spaniel does and it is called kippering. Try to imagine a dog that stretches their back legs and then drags themself forward. Sounds disturbing but in reality it is not.
Ordinarily they are calm and slow, but the moment they smell the scent of a bird, the situation gets wild.
This adorable Spaniel pup has its own breed standard registered under one of the notable canine clubs.
14. Brittany Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Bright, fun-loving and upbeat
Weight: 30 to 40 pounds
Size: 17.5 to 20.5 inches
Lifespan: 12 to 14 years
Group: Sporting
We have a few catches here. Even though our popular dog is called a Brittany Spaniel, they are neither from Britain nor are they a Spaniel.
Brittany refers to the French region of Bretagne, while our pooch has more to do with Setters than with Spaniels.
This pup is also called either a Brittany Wiegref or a French Brittany, or even Epagneul Breton in the original.
If you are fond of this dog, you might also be amazed by the Brittany Spaniel mixes.
It has been a beloved dog throughout history and been pictured in many artworks from the 17th century.
It is not surprising considering their charming appearance in the shades of orange and reddish-brown.
This adorable Spaniel pup has its own breed standard registered under one of the notable canine clubs.
15. Continental Toy Spaniel
Hunter: No
Personality: Friendly, alert and happy
Weight: 5 to 10 pounds
Size: 8 to 11 inches
Lifespan: 14 to 16 years
Group: Toy
When we say Continental Toy Spaniel it probably doesn’t really ring a bell but Papillon may sound a bit more familiar.
Papillon means butterfly in French. But why would a dog be named butterfly? Well, there must be some resemblance. Indeed, this dog is light spirited like a butterfly but that is not the actual reason.
The reason is their ears look like the wings of a butterfly. More like a fluffy butterfly, which makes their appearance even cuter.
There is another version of the Papillon that doesn’t have this trait. Their ears are not erect and that is why they are not called Papillon but Phalene.
Originally it was called Epagneul Nain Continental, but you will also find them under the Butterfly dog and Squirrel dog name because they only hunt for squirrels.
This dog is perfect when combined with some other small and fluffy dogs, for example the Maltese mix, Havanese mix or other mixes.
This adorable Spaniel pup has its own breed standard registered under one of the notable canine clubs.
16. Sprocker Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Sweet and playful
Weight: 30 to 45 pounds
Size: 16 to 20 inches
Lifespan: 10 to 14 years
Group: Sporting
From a relationship between an English Springer Spaniel and English Cocker Spaniel we got the Sprocker Spaniel in a variety of colors.
This is a fairly new breed and there is not much information about them available but they might not be a good choice for an inexperienced owner.
An unusual trait of this dog is that they get along with cats, I must say that I am surprised.
Make sure you provide them with good dog food to prevent health problems.
They might be prone to some typical issues such as ear infections, hip dysplasia or eye problems.
This adorable Spaniel pup is not a purebred so it doesn’t have its own breed standard yet. However, this mix is as adorable and sweet as any other dog.
17. Nederlandse Kooikerhondje
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Friendly, alert and quick
Weight: 20 to 30 pounds
Size: 15 to 16 inches
Lifespan: 12 to 15 years
Group: Sporting
This is a cute dog with a funny name. Although it only sounds complicated in English, in Dutch it means duck catchers small dog. I’m sure you can guess what their prime interest is – probably not Geese.
You can also call them a Dutch Spaniel, Kooiker or Dutch Decoy Spaniel.
Decoy is a nickname this dog got, because of eendenkooi, a device for catching all sorts of waterfowls, especially ducks.
Some would place this dog on the list of the spotted dog breeds even though it is mainly red and white. However, it can have a few spots in the form of black tips.
Their beauty is immortalized in the paintings of Rembrandt and Jan Steen. What an honor!
This adorable Spaniel pup has its own breed standard registered under one of the notable canine clubs.
18. Picardy Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Affectionate, calm and easy to handle
Weight: 44 to 55 pounds
Size: 21 to 23 inches
Lifespan: 14 years
Group: Sporting
The Picardy Spaniel is another stunning brown dog from France. Their beauty has been known for centuries because they are one of the oldest breeds on the continent.
It was also one of the most beloved breeds of royalty and remained beloved even after the fall of the Empire.
They can have a few health problems, most prominently ear infections.
Their French name is Epagneul Picard.
This adorable Spaniel pup has its own breed standard registered under one of the notable canine clubs.
19. Russian Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Soft, alert and smart
Weight: 20 to 35 pounds
Size: 15 to 17.5 inches
Lifespan: 14 years
Group: Sporting
The Russian Spaniel is actually called a Soviet Spaniel, because of the era they were developed. Although, the country no longer exists in that form.
In the original language their name sounds like this – a Rosyjski Spaniel.
They kinda look like a Cocker Spaniel but an upgraded version that has less problems with usual health issues.
You can take this dog to hunt birds and hares with you; they will gladly join you.
This adorable Spaniel pup is not recognized as a distinct breed by significant kennel clubs, except the Russian Kennel Club.
20. Blue Picardy Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Protective, playful and gentle
Weight: 43 to 45 pounds
Size: 22 to 24 inches
Lifespan: 9 to 13 years
Group: Sporting
Next in line is a dog that originated from the banks of the river Somme in France.
It is also a fairly new breed that got its name from their coat color which looks like it is blue.
That is why they are also called a Blue Picardy Spaniel, Epagneul Bleu De Picardie and Blue Picard.
You can’t find many specimens of this breed because there are only a thousand of them born in France every year.
This adorable Spaniel pup has its own breed standard registered under one of the notable canine clubs.
20. Tibetan Spaniel
Hunter: No
Personality: Playful, bright and self-confident
Weight: 9 to 15 pounds
Size: 10 inches
Lifespan: 12 to 15 years
Group: Non-sporting
This is not the scariest dog breed out there, that is for sure, but this cutie can be a true little guard dog as it was their duty back in Tibet in the Buddhist monasteries.
These small dogs with long hair are not true Spaniels, not in the sense that the rest of the group is.
They call them Simkhyi, and they have a very special place in Buddhist spirituality. The alter ego of this small pup is a lion dog.
It is called a lion dog because their mane makes them look like a lion.
This adorable Spaniel pup has its own breed standard registered under one of the notable canine clubs.
21. Japanese Spaniel
Hunter: No
Personality: Charming, loving and noble
Weight: 7 to 11 pounds
Size: 8 to 11 inches
Lifespan: 10 to 12 years
Group: Toy
I think only teacup dog breeds can get sweeter than this one. Have you ever heard of a Japanese Chin? Well, Japanese Spaniels and the Japanese Chin are the same.
It is not registered within an American Kennel Club (AKC) but it is registered within our hearts.
It is best known for its silky coat that gives them a royal look but in a way they are royal. At least the royalty of the Far East used to like them a lot.
When you look at their eyes you probably won’t look straight at them because this breed is known for strabismus.
Nevertheless, this is a dog that still impresses everyone who encounters them, whether it is upper class or not.
This adorable Spaniel pup has its own breed standard registered under one of the notable canine clubs.
22. Stabyhoun
Hunter: Yes

Weight: 40 to 60 pounds
Size: 19 to 21 inches
Lifespan: 13 to 15 years
Group: Foundation Stock Service
Even though they are one of the spotted dog breeds and is black and white, they are not from Dalmatia, which is where the most prominent spotted dog breed is from. This breed comes from the region of Friesland, located in the Netherlands.
They call them Stabijhoun, Beike, Fryske Stabij and Stabij there. Their name literally means stand by me. Yeah, I know it’s like a Ben E. King song.
If there is small game nearby, like foxes or birds, the Stabi is likely to go after it because they are excellent gun dogs.
This dog is gentle, calm and sensitive but can be stubborn. The best way to prevent this is to start with early socialization.
This adorable Spaniel pup has its own breed standard registered under one of the notable canine clubs.
23. French Spaniel
Hunter: Yes
Personality: Sociable, intelligent and gentle
Weight: 50 to 60 pounds
Size: 21.5 to 24 inches
Lifespan: 10 to 12 years
Group: Foundation Stock Service
Epagneul Français in the original, this is actually a Setter that looks like a Spaniel. However, being a pointing dog is what distinguishes them.
You can also call them a French Setter or Canadian Setter.
If you need a breed that is successful at hunting, this could be your best choice.
It is a dog whose origins can be traced back to the 14th century. There were ups and downs but luckily some enthusiasts saved this breed from extinction.
A typical problem this breed encounters is acral mutilation and analgesia.

You will recognize this breed by its rich brown coat.
Don’t leave them alone for too long, because they will start longing for you and develop something similar to separation anxiety.

Weight: 70 to 73 pounds
Size: 23 to 25 inches

You can start thinking of a white dog name because this dog is a beautiful combination of the white color and brown markings.
Another name for this pooch is Dutch Partridge Dog, Drentsche Patrijshond and Drent. It is clear that this bird dog is from the Netherlands.
There are not many specimens out there but they are quality.
They are a versatile pooch that can be an excellent retriever and pointer for fowl.

26. Markiesje
Hunter: No
Personality: Lovable, alert and cheerful
Weight: 13 to 17 pounds
Size: 13 to 15 inches
Lifespan: 12 to 14 years
Group: Companion
Also known as a Dutch Tulip Hound (so adorable), it is an all black dog breed. It is actually an old dog breed but is not recognized by the kennel clubs.
We can prove it because they are included in a few paintings from the 17th century.
Their best role is as a companion dog, but they can also be a successful watchdog.
They are an easygoing pooch that is good with people and other animals and can even be trained to have a nice attitude toward cats and rodents.
This adorable Spaniel pup doesn’t have its own breed standard.
Conclusion

I am even more amazed and stunned by the cuteness of these beautiful pups.
