Years ago I was heavily involved with Field Bred Springers. The AKC did not recognize a difference between the show dogs and the field dogs, but they were entirely different. A show dog can't smell a pork chop tied around his neck, and a field bred springer wouldn't make 5 steps on the platform before being thrown out. When I got involved with Labs, I lost all interest in the Springers. Don't know if the AKC has split up the two Springer types by now
