FENSPANIEL

The Fenspaniel is a smaller, more compact, wire coated, bobtailed English springer spaniel type, developed for beating/brushing and rough shooting using Fenlander Mantu. 

Moss ESS from Badgercourt/Rytex lines was crossed with a busy, somewhat neurotic field trial bitch

After several attempts to find or breed a springer that I am happy with both physically and mentally, I found Moss who physically was one of the best I've seen in decades but mentally was somewhat inhibited, repressed, timorous and hesitant. I put him to one of those daft, mad ball, field trial bitches. The whole litter seemed to genetically have clicked well, with dogs and bitches physically proportioned well, none of the low slungness from the mother's side. They all had decent size and shape heads too. Dee Dee, not huge but neatly built, athletic, responsive, energetic and biddable. At two years she has become good, reliable little beating dog.
