Hi On
The last dual champion English springer spaniel was 1947, since then the breed has been seriously devided between bench and field.
Spaniels started field trialing in 1927, about 1940 the breed began deviding between bench and field. The show champion that made field champion during that period of time right after WW2 when the sport had suffered because manpower and dog power shortages.
In todays retriever world are Dual champions, show and non-slip, still an occurence, are they common place or are they rare?
Thanks for any historical information you may have.
