English Springer Spaniel — she was bred to a male Springer, and the litter Spotty came from was purebred. However, they were not the type seen at American dog shows, but appeared to be more the classical field dog type. If I am not mistaken, Spotty's daddy was a male Springer owned by William S. Farish, the current U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain. Among other holdings, Farish owns Lands End Farm in Paris, Ky., a famous and very successful thoroughbred racehorse breeding establishment.
