Ladies Kennel Association

Breed: Spaniel (Welsh Springer)

I would like to thank all for a lovely entry, some exhibits are at different stages of

development and their day will come. My main concerns are that the hind movement is

getting too close, this does not help with driving action which is expected in our breed,

as the standard quotes they are ‘built for endurance and hard work’ I also worry we are

losing breed type and becoming a generic red & white spaniel.
