A low, rich golden-liver spaniel with a mellow temperament
The Sussex Spaniel is a rare, long-bodied gundog that was bred to give voice while working slowly through dense cover. It is calm, affectionate and often serious-looking, and it can be vocal, stubborn and prone to weight gain.

This breed needs about 60 minutes of activity a day. Around 3 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

They can be quite vocal, as the breed was developed to call while working. Exercise, company and mental stimulation help keep it manageable.
About an hour a day, mixing steady walks with some sniffing time. They are not built for long, fast runs.
They are willing but can be stubborn and slow to mature, so patient, reward-based training and consistency work best.
