Springer Spaniel – Wonderful Dogs, Constant Companions

English Springer Spaniel is  extremely smart and learn very quickly. The Springer Spaniel is an ideal dog for country or city life. Springers are people pleasers. They love to be around people, and they are energetic, loving companions. Playful and energetic, the Springer Spaniel can bring its owner many hours of amusement. With proper training the can excel in agility, tracking, retrieving, obedience, hunting, and field trials. They are great with children and are an excellent pick for families. Adult supervision of children around any breed of dog is necessary to ensure the dog doesn’t become irritated.

Owners will be satisfied with a Springer because they are so friendly and eager to please. Their temperment has been compared to the popular Golden Retriever. If it is what their families are doing, they are perfectly content with just laying around the house. As long as they are allowed to people with people, they are flexible and acclimate easily to different activity levels. Springer Spaniels are incredibly affectionate! We know this from experience. As breeders, we have raised a lot of puppies and can absolutely testify to this fact.

A full grown English Springer Spaniel weighs 35-55 pounds and is an excellent sporting dog. They are generally very strong dogs that live anywhere between ten and fourteen years. Springers which are field bred have shorter hair and are generally more active than the show type Springers. Field bred Springers have docked tails, but their tails are docked longer than the show Springers so their tails are still functional as an alert signal while hunting.

The coat colors for English Springer Spaniels comes in either two combinations of black and white or liver and white. The tri-color coloration of black, liver, and white, is quite rare and will usually occur when the sire and dam are both tri-color. These are easily recognised by the white flash that runs down the middle of their faces.

Bred to be natural hunter, English Springer Spaniels, have alot of energy so you can expect them to enjoy running aroung, sniffing out “game” and retrieving things for you. Springers have long been used as waterfowl and small game hunting dogs so they enjoy outdoor activities and being around water. Being a very old breed they have been popular dogs for a long, long time. These dogs are the oldest but best hunting breed around.

I hope this explains why springers are a wonderful fit for a variety of situations, lifestyles and families. We have seen how easily these adoring animals are accepted as a part of any family.
