WSS registrations

WSS registrations at the AKC are down to levels not seen since the 1970s.  Only 207 were registered in 2013.  Total welshies in the U.S. depends on the proportion of total dogs born that are registered and, of course, average lifespan.

Lifespan is 12-15 years, so say 13.5 years.

Registrations are trickier.  Not every owner (or breeder) registers his or her dog.  Let's say that 50% are registered.  Then a run-rate of 200 dogs every year would imply an equilibrium of 5,400 total Welsh Springer Spaniels in the U.S.
