Four Categories of Springers "There is the natural hunter and almost instinctive quarterer which will hunt the ground regardless of whether there is any scent of game thereon." "The second category lacks the instinctive natural quartering of the former group". "There is a third group of spaniels which initially has no desire to hunt at all." "The fourth group is quite the most difficult of all. A Springer of this persuasion, upon being let off the lead, bolts off in a straight line until it reaches the far boundary of the field, the proceeds to self-hunt up and down the boundary fence."
