Hi Patti!
I am a former ****er spaniel owner and I love all spaniels. They are so friendly and loveable! An english toy spaniel (known as ET's) are not a miniature springer. They are a breed all of their own, unlike a poodle which has teacup, toy, miniuature, and standard varieties. They are in the spaniel family though. They have very gentle temperaments, very playful, and are one of the quietest of the spaniels. They also have flatter faces, kinda like a pekenese (sp?) There are 4 varieties of ET's. The Prince Charles (my favorite) is a tri-color. Mostly white with black and tan markings. There is the Ruby, (all red) Blenheim (red and white) and King Charles (black and tan). If you want to see some of these adorable dogs, just go to google and type in english toy spaniels. It will bring up a list of web sites! They weigh about 10 pounds and there are only about 1200 registered ET's in the US. Aren't they adorable? What do you think?
