The English Toy Spaniel is a merry, gentle companion with a regal look and a warm heart. Bright, loving, and eager to please, this little spaniel brings both charm and character to family life.

Affectionate with their favorite people, ETS dogs are calm and dignified at home but playful, curious, and energetic when outdoors. Their devoted nature makes them especially rewarding companions for those who enjoy a close bond with their dog.

Life with an ETS is well suited to a smaller home or apartment, provided they receive daily walks, gentle training, and plenty of time with their people. Their beautiful silky coat benefits from regular brushing, and their short face means they should be kept comfortable in warm weather.

English Toy Spaniels thrive on close companionship and are happiest as part of everyday family life. They are moderately active, enjoying daily leash walks and playful outings while remaining calm and dignified at home.

Their silky coat should be brushed at least twice a week, with regular bathing, nail trims, and ear checks. Training works best with patience, consistency, early socialization, and a positive, gentle approach.

Because of their short face, English Toy Spaniels do not tolerate heat well. Keep exercise light in warm or humid weather, provide cool indoor space and fresh water, and never leave them outdoors in the heat.
