Literature:  Prime Minister Disraeli was a favorite of Queen Victoria's and because of this potters paid "homage" to him by making these rare spaniels and copying his famous hairstyle--tight front curls.  This pair has these curls both in front and in back. 

"The majority of these spaniels were decorated in black and white.  Disraeli Spaniels are especially distinctive but they also among the most difficult to find. "Resource:  Staffordshire Spaniels" by Adele Kenny
