Oor die ras
The Welsh Springer Spaniel is a flushing and retrieving dog from Wales, where red and white spaniels have long been used for hunting. It was recognised as a separate breed in Britain in 1902 and has always come only in red and white.
It is affectionate and very attached to its family, sometimes to one person in particular. It is often reserved with strangers. It has plenty of stamina and a strong nose, so it needs daily exercise and steady training. It does not like to be left alone for long and can become vocal or anxious if it is.

The breed standard allows only one colour combination: rich red and white.
