=== Coat and colors ===
Field-bred dogs tend to have shorter, coarser coats than the longer furred show-bred dogs. They normally only shed in summer and spring months but shed occasionally in the autumn.<ref name="diff"/> The [[coat (dog)|coat]] may come in black or liver (dark brown) with white markings or predominantly white with black or liver markings; blue or liver roan; or tricolour consisting of black and white or liver and white with tan markings, usually found on eyebrows, cheeks, inside of ears and under the tail. Any white portion of the coat may be flecked with ticking.<ref>{{cite web |title=Official Standard of the English Springer Spaniel |url=http://images.akc.org/pdf/breeds/standards/EnglishSpringerSpaniel.pdf |publisher=American Kennel Club |access-date=18 January 2025}}</ref>
