Why
are we so attracted by Welsh Springers then?It is difficult to say, everyone has their own special reasons why they like Welsh Springers. Maybe it is the beautiful and elegant expression of the head, the free and powerful movement, the charming red and white colour or the friendly and trusting character. We try to maintain or get back these ideal characteristics with careful breeding.
Welsh Springers are best distinguished from their cousin, English Springers, by their colour. It is always deep red and white, no other colour is allowed, except different shades of red. The amount of red and white is not determined, as long as both colours exist. At least the ears are usually red. There can be red patches on white background or there can be a red mantle over the whole back. There can also be smaller spots on feet and muzzle. The quality of the coat is silky, straight and thick. Curly and wavy coat is not desirable. In principle, there are never tangles in a Welsh Springer´s coat. It is relatively easy to trim this breed, you can learn to do it yourself quite easily. One way of distinguishing the two varieties of Springers is by looking at the ears. Welsh Springers have smaller ears than English Springers. The Welsh Springer´s ears should be plucked short and their shape reminds vine leaves.
