How well do you know the different Spaniels?

[Josie]

Can you name the different Spaniels in the photo?

 

[JudyN]

I'm not a spaniel expert at all so may get these all wrong but my guess:

1: Springer
2: Clumber
3. Cocker (working?)
4: Portuguese/Spanish water spaniel

 

[JoanneF]

Nah, that fourth one is a poodle!

 

[JudyN]

Ooh, I got one wrong - I checked possible coat colours after my guess and it doesn't come in brown. Another type of spaniel popped into my brain - one of those times when you didn't even know that you know something - I checked, and I was correct.

But I'm not saying which or what

 

[Josie]

I'm afraid you don't have any on the original list right @JudyN

It’s a hard one!!

 

[JudyN]

None? OK, No. 2 is a Sussex? No. 4 Irish water spaniel?

 

[Josie]

None? OK, No. 2 is a Sussex? No. 4 Irish water spaniel?

2 and 4 correct

 

[JudyN]

Yay! Could 1 be a Brittany spaniel? But I've exhausted the types of spaniels I've heard of now. I'm sure there's one beginning with H.... Harris?

Sorry they’re wrong also

 

[JudyN]

I thought so - I've checked and I don't think a Harris spaniel even exists!

 

[excuseme]

1, Working type Cocker. Maybe a Field spaniel though!
2. Sussex Spaniel.
3, Field spaniel. (a show type one ! )
4, Irish water Spaniel.
It can all depend whether the pictures are of working types or show types, at times they can be quiet difficult to tell apart.
AND Josie, you have picked all liver coloured ones to make it much more difficult !!

 

[Teddy560]

1. English working cocker
2. Sussex spaniel
3. English show cocker
4.Irish water spaniel
(Cheated 2 and 4)

Aw- at last something I could've been brilliant at and it's all done!

However the chocky-wocker could be a fake...just a thought...?

 

[Josie]

So as it stands we have:

2.sussex spaniel

3. Field spaniel - well done @excuseme I have made it very hard!

4. Irish water spaniel

1 NO ONE HAS GUESSED CORRECT YET...

 

[Josie]

I never knew there were so many types of spaniel so any guess is a good one!

 

[merlina]

1.Working cocker. 2. Clumber 3.Field 4. Irish water

 

[merlina]

But I still think the chocky wocker lookalike is something like a Boykin? (American rare breed?) It is a working cocker but not as we know it.

Must say, I like looking at the photos and reading peoples sugestions, but I do not have enough experience with gundogs to add anything usefull.

 

[Josie]

yes @merlina !! 1 is a Boykin Spaniel!

I will have to do one on sight hounds for you Biker John
