16 Dog Breeds that begin with E

English Springer Spaniel

English Springer Spaniel is a gun dog breed that excels at catching the game in the field. These athletic canines are expert trackers and are known to be great companions due to their loyal and steadfast nature.

The only drawback is that they don’t do well in small apartments. This is because English Springer Spaniels need plenty of room to run around. They love to get the attention of their people and hate being alone at any time.

English Cocker Spaniel

English Cocker Spaniels are compact sporting dogs with a very cheerful personality. This breed was originally developed for hunting birds and other small game. However, they do extremely well as companion dogs, even in small apartments. Just make sure that you provide your pup with enough exercise to burn his/her energy. Otherwise, they can exhibit negative behavior.

English Setter

This sporting breed was created for hunting purposes. These pups are called ‘Setter’ because they set themselves up for catching their prey. English Setters have a beautiful speckled coat that can have different colors like lemon, orange, and liver. Due to their good looks, they are often called gentlemen of the canine world.

English Toy Spaniel

If you want to describe this breed in one word, that would be ‘royal’. English Toy Spaniels were bred as companions for kings and are often called “Charlies”, after a king who loved them. Although they are small, these lapdogs can be quite mischievous. They come in a variety of colors, including red, black, tan, and white.

Entlebucher Mountain Dog

This muscular breed was developed for keeping a watchful eye on herds. Entlebuchers can become extremely loyal and wonderful companions if socialized properly. They have a free spirit and love to spend time with their owners, especially playing. Their only drawback is that these pups can be territorial and will bark a lot upon seeing visitors.  

English Foxhound

As the name suggests, these canines were bred to chase down foxes in the English countryside. English Foxhounds can sprint extremely fast due to their straight and sturdy legs. They also have incredible stamina that allows them to make long runs.

The English Foxhound is a perfect balance of good looks and utility. They adapt well to urban life if regular exercise is provided to them.

This medium-sized Spitz originated in Germany and is known for its calm, loyal, and smart nature. They come in a variety of colors, except for white, liver, and white patches (according to the breed standard). Likewise, Eurasiers can have colored or spotted tongues.

These intelligent dogs can become great family members even in small apartments. However, this breed tends to shed a lot so regular grooming is needed.

English Mastiff

The English Mastiff is an ancient dog breed that dates back almost  5000 years. They were originally bred as strong war dogs.

These dogs are NOT recommended for novice owners because they require a lot of training and socializing.

Eskland

The Eskland is a hybrid of American Eskimo and the Shetland Sheepdog. These beautiful dogs sport a thick coat that can be white, grey, brown, or cream in color. Although they were bred as designer dogs, Esklands can are considered incredible companion dogs. They are perfect for active families due to their abundant supply of energy.

English Bulldog

English Bulldogs are among the most popular canines all over the world. They have a thick, low-set body with small ears and loose skin. They can have short and glossy coats.

Bulldogs were originally developed to herd cattle but were later used in a rather bloody sport called bullbaiting. Despite that, these pups are very friendly and affectionate and can adjust well in small apartments.

Eskapoo

This breed was made by crossbreeding the American Eskimo with a Poodle. Normally, Eskapoos have a medium standard size, but they can also come in miniature and toy sizes. They come in several colors, like black, white, blue, grey, silver, apricot, and brown. Regular grooming is a must for these pups because of the long wiry hair.
