This guide covers Cocker Spaniels, English Springer Spaniels and other spaniels, including crosses such as Sprockers. The Royal Kennel Club calls the Cocker a "popular family pet and gundog first bred to hunt woodcock", and says it earned the name "the merry cocker" for its ever-wagging tail. It describes the English Springer as "the most popular of the spaniels for working in the field", and says Springers got their name from "springing" forward to flush game.
As of 8 November 2026, 3 spaniels are listed with rescues in and around Ashfield on LocalPetFinder: by their listed age, 2 adults and 1 aged 7 or over.
2 of them are listed as a cross, as the rescue describes it: Spaniel Cross and Springer Spaniel Cross. Breed labels on rescue listings are often a best guess from looks.
The rescues mark 2 as able to live with children and 1 with other dogs. Where a profile says nothing, it doesn't mean no: ask the rescue.

It depends on the breed. The Royal Kennel Club lists the English Springer Spaniel as needing more than two hours a day and the Cocker Spaniel up to an hour a day. Dogs Trust calls both typically high-energy. Ask the rescue about this dog, as age, health and working background make a difference.

The Cocker was first bred to hunt woodcock, and the Springer got its name from "springing" forward to flush game.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every spaniel on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 3 spaniels listed in and around Ashfield today are with Doggy Dens UK Rescue at Cuckney, about 11 miles away (1), Thornberry Animal Sanctuary at North Anston, about 19 miles away (1) and Ashbourne Animal Welfare at Ashbourne, about 21 miles away (1), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile.

If you searched "spaniel puppies for sale Ashfield", the spaniels here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.
Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 3 spaniels listed in and around Ashfield today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Doggy Dens UK Rescue at Cuckney, about 11 miles away. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
