Core Aims and Principles
Conservation First
Whilst ‘Field Sport’ and all other associated names and variations of the phrase are fiercely protected by all of us Approaching what we do from a ‘Conservation’ standpoint will help to protect us into the future. We all need to be willing to educate ourselves and talk about working with dogs differently. We have nothing to hide – there is not a more sustainable way of putting food on the table than someone working their dog
True Community
We all carry responsibility and as a group we can create a shared voice. To do that we have to respect and guide one another for the future of the Working Spaniel. We will extend a warm welcome to those new to Working Spaniels without judgement.
Natural Ability
We are passionate about the continued promotion of working spaniels in the field, harnessing natural ability. We aim to provide detailed, accurate data on successful working dogs for the purposes of mate or puppy selection.
First in Line
Combining our experience and existing outreach to become the primary resource, news, and database for working spaniels in the UK, promoting activities relevant to their breed, and celebrating their achievements.
