Springer Spaniel | Pedigree Chums™ The Dog Bingo Game

The English Springer Spaniel was bred to find birds and make them spring out of the bushes for the hunter, and then fetch them. In our family tree, its ancestors include the Norfolk Spaniel, water spaniels and the Welsh Springer. It is still one of the most important working gundogs. Tap a circle inside to keep digging.
