Welsh Springer Spaniel
It is believed that the Welsh Springer Spaniel, possibly a mix between the Welsh Sheepdog and the Corgi, has existed as a breed since the 1600’s. They were found mainly in Wales and western England, used for shepherding and cattle driving. After centuries, the breed became known in eastern England and Scotland where they were used as sporting dogs. Their versatile abilities and hunting instincts made them prime candidates for worldwide ownership, and by the 19th and 20th centuries they were exported abroad to countries including the United States, India and Australia.
