History

• He originated in the county of Sussex, England in the 18th century
• He was used to flush and retrieve birds during the hunt

Personality and Behavior

• He's friendly, happy, and biddable
• He's calm and unhurried
• He loves being around his human family
• He gets along very well with children
• He gets along well with other dogs
• He drools and slobbers everywhere
• He likes to wander off after smells that interest him

Training

• He's not easy to train. You will need patience as he is slower than most to learn obedience commands.

Shedding

• He sheds quite a bit of hair. You'll find some hair stuck to your clothes, couch and carpets.

Grooming / Maintenance

• His medium-length coat only needs to be brushed occasionally. However, because it sheds you may find yourself brushing it once a week, or more, to minimize the hair in your home (what you remove with a brush doesn't end up on the couch!).
