The Riverain Spaniel is a spaniel-type breed of dog of Dutch and French ancestry. Breed from kooikerhondjes and papillons spaniels, this breed was made to create a medium-sized dog with the will-to-please of shepherds and the calm and not obsessive behaviors of the kooiker. The result is a stable dog that fits nicely in dog sports, especially in obedience and agility where they slowly but surely steal first places to shetlands sheepdogs.

Appearance
The Riverain spaniel is a medium dog, that comes in all shades of brown, from sable to chocolate. with a long white plumed tail. The preferred height at the withers is 18 to 19 inches for males and 17 to 18 inches for females. The bone and substance of the Riverain is moderate. The head should be in proportion to the dog. The expression is gentle and alert. Ears should be red in color and well feathered and ideally adorned with darker earrings. The color for coat should be predominately brown and may be patched or solid on pure white although a few small spots on the legs are acceptable.

Temperament
Friendly, good natured, quiet, well-behaved, and alert; those are terms that are used to describe the spaniel. Being a descendant of papillons and phalenes, the breed have lost of the spaniels abilities to become a sport-oriented dog. Depending on its domestic environment, they are intelligent, attentive and more than willing to please their owner. More flashy and energetic than their cousin, the kooikerhondje, the Riverain needs something to do and can't be only a family dog - he has a medium-high energy level, yet is usually quiet when indoors.
