The Sussex Spaniel is known as an excellent hunting companion. They are long and low, rectangular and with strong bones in appearance. Their expression is somber and serious. Unique to this breed is their rich golden liver color coat and a lower energy level than most spaniels. Joy Freer, the woman who kept the breed alive during the World Wars, stated, "There is no other animal which has his coloring except the lion..." The Sussex Spaniel is a small dog, only about 15 inches off the ground. They are too small for hunting rabbits, but love to hunt partridge and pheasant as they were once used for. If they are not hunted, they will find other birds, insects and mice to hunt. Sussex Spaniels have pendulous lips and long, low-set drop ears. Their fur is profuse, slightly wavy and heaviest at the legs, ears and tail. Although serious-looking, the Sussex is very easygoing and friendly. They will follow you around the house, as they have been referred to as a shadow. They are hard workers, protectors and singers. They enjoy being vocal and have been trained in the past to do so in order that a hunter will not lose them. A good house dog and family pet, Sussex Spaniels are soft and affectionate with a placid outlook on life.
