Sussex Spaniel

Origin

In the 1800 century the Sussex spaniel was created in Sussex. Sussex is a place in England. No one knows perfectly about the history of the Sussex spaniel but people say that it was the result of the mix of the hounds and spaniels. After the second world war the Sussex spaniel really became obsolete in Europe. But it was gradually saved and now also the breed is really less in numbers.

The Sussex spaniel is a very cute looking breed. It is not very large in size about 16 inches in height. TheSussex spaniel has a well built body and its length is more than its height. They have a accurate round shaped head and a small rectangular muzzle with a liver coloured nose at the tip. Their eyes are also liver in colour and look very kind and affectionate. The Sussex spaniel have a small docked tail and two large ears hanging by their head. They have a wide chest touching their shoulders and their limbs and legs are short and close to the ground. They have sharp teeth enough for a scissor bite and always have a sweet expression in their face. Their coat is smooth and silky and are found mainly in golden liver colour.
