What is the difference between a spaniel and a terrier?

Spaniels and terriers are distinct groups of Dog Breeds with different characteristics and purposes. Spaniels, such as the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel or the Cocker Spaniel, are typically bred as hunting companions and are known for their friendly, gentle nature and love for water. Terriers, like the Jack Russell or Bull Terrier, were originally bred for hunting and vermin control, making them more energetic, feisty, and often more independent. Overall, spaniels tend to be more laid-back, while terriers are usually more spirited and tenacious.
