El Spanish spaniel It belongs to the many breeds of spaniels in the world, along with specimens such as the Portuguese Cão de agua or the Poodle. One of its most striking characteristics is its coat, which is short in some cases and longer in others, even with the appearance of laces, with a woolly and very curly consistency. So much so that your hairdressing arrangements must be made with scissors, although in many cases you only have to limit yourself to a punctual brushing.
This dog is medium in size, but very lively and cheerful. It is very active and its character makes it suitable to live with children and other pets. Of course, if he is in a flat, you should always let him exercise daily, taking him for a run, a swim and a walk. They are very intelligent pets, and they have demonstrated this throughout their history, being used as hunting dogs in swampy terrain, as rescue animals or for grazing. If they are given guidelines on a daily basis, they will learn immediately, being also suitable for tests such as agility.
The area where its presence is best known is in the south of the Peninsula, since its origin is there. However, today we can already find it in many places. It is not one of the most popular breeds, but nevertheless it has skills and intelligence that surprise those who love it as a pet. But if you are looking for a quiet dog, that is limited to accompany you on your walk, perhaps you should look for another, since the Spanish spaniel It also stands out for its huge curiosity.
The appearance and characteristics of this animal do not have many outstanding details. Their hair stands out, and they do not have too many health problems, since they have been a strong breed by nature. Some may suffer eye problems in adulthood, like cataracts, but apart from that, they are lively and agile even as adults.
