Sussex spaniel Dog Breed Information
The Sussex Spaniel dog breed was created in Sussex County, England, to chase birds into the sky for shooters, as it has a long and low body. In addition, the breeders made the dog noisier unlike many spaniels so that the hunters could locate it even if it fled into dense vegetation.
Sussex are long, low-built bird dogs with exceptional endurance and stamina, with a look that resembles a mix between a Cocker Spaniel and a torpedo. Even though Sussex is only 15 inches tall at the shoulder, they are regarded as being “huge” with a wide chest and hefty bone. One of the most interesting Sussex spaniel Dog Breed Facts is that they have a reputation for being sluggish and passive, yet when they smell birds, they get active.
