The Sussex Spaniel is the perfect companion for dogs owners with a sense of humor. This amicable spaniel is solid, strong and somewhat stubborn, with a cheerful disposition and a great sense of humor. The breed's somber expression belies the dog behind those soulful eyes; a dog that regards people and other dogs with good-natured mirth.

A field dog since the early 1800's, the breed derives it's name from Sussex, England, where it originated. The breed is different from other spaniels in that it has a longer body and tail, more natural coat and liver colored nose and rims about the eyes. A medium sized dog, the Sussex Spaniel measures 13 to 15 inches and weighs between 35 and 45 pounds. It has a flat or slightly wavy chestnut colored coat and long ears covered in soft wavy hair.

The Sussex Spaniel makes an exceptional family companion. It loves people - especially children, and is easy to train. It's calm, amicable disposition makes it suitable to almost any environment, whether country life or a city apartment. The breed is also known to be a good watchdog. Grooming requirements are moderate; a good brushing once a week and regular examination and cleaning of the ears are necessary to keep the Sussex Spaniel looking and feeling it's best.

If you are looking for a loyal, loving and humorous companion that is great with kids, the Sussex Spaniel very well could be the breed for you!
