The word Spaniel designates a set of hunting dog breeds with long coats distributed in the FCI nomenclature, in group 7 (section 1.2 for pointing dogs), and in group 8 (section 2 for flushing spaniels and section 3 for water spaniels). Some dog breeds named Spaniel (spaniel for the female) are also part of group 9 "Companion and Toy Dogs". In English, the equivalent word "spaniel" tends to be reserved only for flushing spaniels.
