hily 379 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 if you look at some old pics of spaniels they do look heavy and deap chested and they did work the one i owned was very strong but lazy no drive at all .like all dogs i think it could probably have been trained to work mybe not all that good but as its been bred for show !!!.

Yeh KC people aren't going to want a high energy dog that's hard to control...they probably have bred all the drive out of it to have a 'good temperament' 1 Quote Link to post
RubyTex 1,957 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Jeeesus wept. Hell of a sporting animal! I'd love to run it with my two for a week, it wouldn't know what'd hit it the poor thing. Quote Link to post
dedger 16 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 What an absolute shame,I wish these so called dog lovers would stick to poodles and the kennel club would stop playing God and not try to breed dogs to look at instead of what they should be doing and sticking to a dogs originality, spaniels are working dogs and are only truly happy when they are working and pleasing their master. Mine would give it heart failure if it spent a couple of hours with it. Quote Link to post
