Who else here is excited that today is Friday? Not only that but we are only a week away from Christmas Eve! I hope all of you have your shopping done and are ready to celebrate the festive season. For today’s Wild Fact, I chose an animal that is near and dear to my heart. One of my first friends in life was an English Springer Spaniel named Buffy. She was the greatest dog you could possibly have and I basically hung out with her for the first 13 years of my life. Not only am I dedicating today’s Wild Fact to Buffy but to all dogs that have a special place in our family and in our hearts.<\/p>\n

The Springer Spaniel is a medium sized dog with a moderately long coat and feathering along the legs and tail. This particular dog is unique as there is a large difference between the field bred dogs and the show dogs. They almost appear to be two completely different breeds of dog which is a result of the gene pool being separated around 70 years ago. Typically the field dogs will have shorter fur, less pendulous ears, are more wiry and have a feral look to them compared to the show breeds. I believe Buffy was a show dog although, I don’t think she ever competed.<\/p>\n

Typically the English Springer Spaniel makes a great family dog since they are friendly, eager to please, quick to learn and will actually obey their master (unlike your children).\u00a0 Traditionally, the Springer Spaniel was bred to be a hunting dog.\u00a0 As a result they have a talent for flushing birds out of the thick underbrush and into the trees.\u00a0 Today they are still used as hunting dogs and will also help out the police every now and again.\u00a0 That’s right the English Springer Spaniel is commonly used as a sniffer dog.\u00a0 They can be trained to sniff out explosives, drugs and even cell phones.\u00a0 I am not making that last one up.\u00a0 Guards at HM Prison Norwich (in England) used these spaniels to sniff out illegal cell phones being used by inmates.\u00a0 The dogs were so good that they were able to tell the difference between the guards phones and the inmates illegal phones.\u00a0 This is good news if you ever take your phone privileges away from your child.\u00a0 You will be able to use your household pet to see if they are sneaking the phone behind your back.<\/p>\n

Springer Spaniel Fast Fact – <\/strong>The Springer Spaniel is very closely related to the English Cocker Spaniel.\u00a0 In fact, about a century ago these two dogs could be found in the same litter.\u00a0 As a result, the Springer Spaniel picked up a rare condition that is found in Cocker Spaniels.\u00a0 It is called Rage Syndrome and will cause your loving pet to suddenly attack.\u00a0 They will usually have a glazed look in their eyes and be unaware of their surroundings.\u00a0 This state can last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.\u00a0 After that they return to their normal, loving self.\u00a0 Interestingly enough, this extremely rare syndrome has only been documented in the show breeds.\u00a0 The field breeds of Springer Spaniel don’t appear to have this condition.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading a longer Wild Fact on this Friday.\u00a0 Can you tell I was excited about writing this post on my very first pet?\u00a0 I hope all of you have a great weekend.\u00a0 See you on Monday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
