English toy spaniel:
The English toy spaniel is a small, sturdy, square spaniel with a deep, pug nose that is black with very well open nostrils, a well-defined stop, and dome-shaped skull. The teeth should be slightly undershot. The round eyes are large, and dark with a sweet expression. The long feathered ears are pendant and hang along its cheeks. The soft, silky coat is well feathered and comes in four colors varieties: King Charles (black & tan), Ruby (solid red, sometimes with a few white hairs or small white patch on the chest), Blenheim (white with red markings, often with a red "thumb print" centered on the top of the head), and Prince Charles (tri-color: white with black & tan markings). The tail is customarily docked. The English toy spaniel is gentle, happy, playful, loving and sweet, but it is sometimes timid. It will be sociable with those who approach it affectionately. The breed is naturally well-behaved and intelligent, but is a bit willful. It's quiet, non-demanding, and needs to be treated gently. They are friendly with other dogs. The English toy spaniel needs to be with a lot of people. They are usually good with all children, but will do best with an older child.
