What spaniels are like to live with

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.

Where can I adopt a spaniel in Liverpool?

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the spaniels on this page are with Friends of Birkenhead Kennels (1), Greenleaf Animal Rescue (1) and Warrington Animal Welfare (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

How much exercise does a spaniel need?

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.

What is the difference between a Cocker and a Springer Spaniel?

The Royal Kennel Club lists the Cocker as small and the English Springer as medium; the breed standards give a height of about 38 to 41 cm for a Cocker and about 51 cm for a Springer. The Springer needs more exercise and a larger garden, and the Cocker needs grooming more often. The Cocker was first bred to hunt woodcock, and the Springer got its name from "springing" forward to flush game.

Are spaniels good with children?

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 2 of the 3 spaniels listed in and around Liverpool as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

Are there spaniel puppies for sale in Liverpool?

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 Liverpool today are with Greenleaf Animal Rescue in Liverpool (1), Friends of Birkenhead Kennels at Wirral, about 4 miles away (1) and Warrington Animal Welfare at Warrington, about 16 miles away (1), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile.

If you searched "spaniel puppies for sale Liverpool", 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.

Can I get a free spaniel to a good home in Liverpool, or one under £500?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations.

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.
