What They Are Like to Live With<\/h2>\n
English Toy Spaniels are cheerful companions. Loving without being jealous, energetic without being boisterous, they are superb pals for playing around the house, cuddling on the sofa and tossing a ball in the yard.<\/p>\n
While they do get along with everyone in the family, they tend to bond with their masters. English Toy Spaniels are very good playmates for children, being patient and playful, and they make a good first impression with strangers. Sometimes, they may be shy around new people.<\/p>\n
Being people-oriented dogs, English Toy Spaniels crave companionship and attention. Don\u2019t ignore them or leave them alone for too long: They can get depressed, lonely and sometimes mischievous.<\/p>\n
Things You Should Know<\/h2>\n
English Toy Spaniels may look like adorable lapdogs, which they certainly are, but they also descend from a long line of bird dogs. Therefore, they need room to run\u2014preferably in a fenced back yard. When taking them for walks in the park or around the block, however, don\u2019t forget the leash: They love to chase cars, birds and small critters.<\/p>\n
English Toy Spaniels can live as long as 13 years. Common health problems include a heart condition called mitral valve disease, hip dysplasia and ear infections. They need daily brushing, ear cleaning and the occasional grooming.<\/p>\n
English Toy Spaniel History<\/h2>\n
The English Toy Spaniel originated thousands of years ago in China, making its way to Europe during the Middle Ages. Bred mainly for companionship\u2014especially among the wealthy\u2014the English Toy Spaniel also had a reputation for being a good bird dog. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

English Toy Spaniels are cheerful companions. Loving without being jealous, energetic without being boisterous, they are superb pals for playing around the house, cuddling on the sofa and tossing a ball in the yard.<\/p>\n
While they do get along with everyone in the family, they tend to bond with their masters. English Toy Spaniels are very good playmates for children, being patient and playful, and they make a good first impression with strangers. Sometimes, they may be shy around new people.<\/p>\n
Being people-oriented dogs, English Toy Spaniels crave companionship and attention. Don\u2019t ignore them or leave them alone for too long: They can get depressed, lonely and sometimes mischievous.<\/p>\n
