Do-It-All Breed
The English Springer Spaniel Field Trial Association is the national AKC “parent” club for Springers in the United States. Its members, who have loved Springers since the years of their early importation from England, are proud and protective of this wonderful, “do-it-all” breed. The ESSFTA has developed “The Spaniel Manual” to help you decide if you’d like a Springer, and to acquaint you with the breed.
In short, we want to help you make a good decision. After all, it’s a decision that will last a lifetime — ten to fifteen years, to be exact!
