My working Springer Spaniel amongst the fallen the leaves. We had just descended from The Great ridge, which is in Derbyshire. The sun was out but it was still freezing cold:-)
About the Breed
The merry and frolicsome Cocker Spaniel, with his big, dreamy eyes and impish personality, is one of the world's best-loved breeds. They were developed as hunting dogs, but Cockers gained their wide popularity as all-around companions. Those big, dark eyes; that sweet expression; those long, lush ears that practically demand to be touched'no wonder the Cocker spent years as America's most popular breed. The Cocker is the AKC's smallest sporting spaniel, standing about 14 to 15 inches. The coat comes in enough colors and patterns to please any taste. The well-balanced body is sturdy and solid, and these quick, durable gundogs move with a smooth, easy gait. Cockers are eager playmates for kids and are easily trained as companions and athletes. They are big enough to be sporty, but compact enough to be portable. A Cocker in full coat rewards extra grooming time by being the prettiest dog on the block. These energetic sporting dogs love playtime and brisk walks.
A dignified and mellow hunting companion of kings, the Clumber Spaniel is the largest of the AKC flushing spaniels. For those who can handle some shedding and drooling, the amiable Clumber is an amusing best friend and a gentlemanly housemate. Clumber Spaniels are powerful bird dogs of heavy bone, built long and low, with a massive head.

Not a AI ( posting a ai dog soon )
The merry English Toy Spaniel was bred to be the companion of kings. But ETS are spaniels first and pampered lapdogs second, and beneath the patrician exterior beats the heart of a real doggy dog-bright, loving, and willing to please.
Sportsmen on both sides of the Atlantic cherish the agile, energetic Brittany as a stylish and versatile gundog. Bright and eager at home, and tireless afield, Brittanys require a lot of exercises, preferably with their favorite humans.
This morning I finished a special spaniel for a special friend and neighbour, Eileen 'Country Gal'! Well, I'm not sure if it's for her or her son, who has just had a milestone birthday (and it is his dog, Diggle!!). They will have to toss a coin, lol!!
Eileen and her family have been great neighbours from the day we moved in, more than 30 years ago. I was in two minds about doing this drawing, as her family are great at art too! But it was fun to draw a dog I actually know, in the flesh, so to speak! ^_^
Going back through some photos from a couple of weeks ago and came across this shot from a dog walk at Claverham ponds. I was lying down at the time trying to get a shot of the tree stump in the background, when Willow came flying back to me...
Bearing in mind this shot is at 10mm she was practically down the throat of the lens when this was taken!
