How many types of English Springer Spaniels are there?

The English Springer Spaniel is one breed, but there are two types that are bred for different purposes. Field-bred English Springer Spaniels are primarily used for hunting and working in the field. They are usually leaner and more athletic, with a shorter coat that is easier to maintain while working in rugged environments. 

Show-bred English Springer Spaniels participate in conformation shows and find homes as family pets. They are usually more robust in body type and have a thicker, more luxurious coat. Show-bred English Springer Spaniels are generally more laid-back than their field-bred counterparts but are still active and need regular exercise.
