Spaniels: training, breed guides and advice for springers, cockers and more

The spaniel is the engine of the shooting field. Fast, fearless and driven by an instinct to hunt that no amount of cover can dampen, a well-trained spaniel is one of the most useful dogs in British fieldsports – and one of the most demanding to produce.

ShootingUK’s spaniel pages cover the full breadth of the spaniel world: training from first retrieves to advanced hunting patterns, handling on driven and rough shooting days, the field trial circuit and the breed guides that help you choose the right dog for the job. Springer spaniel, cocker spaniel, clumber spaniel, Sussex spaniel, field spaniel – working traits, breeding lines and the handling approaches that unlock each breed’s potential are all covered here.

Hard going, big heart, impossible to tire. Sound familiar?
