Are You Looking For This?

English Springer Spaniels as a breed of dog are very intelligent and learn things fast. Being highly enthusiastic, eager to please, loyal, affectionate, and people-oriented makes the Springer an ideal companion for both city and country life. They are energetic and playful animals, and many owners find humor in their play. Springers are excellent all around dogs. Good training can bring excellent results in many fields, including agility, tracking, retrieving, obedience, hunting, and field trials. They are wonderful with children and are a perfect choice for families. Of course as with any dog breed, children should always be supervised to make sure they are not antagonizing the dog.

Owners will be satisfied with a Springer because they are so friendly and eager to please. There are people who use the sweet temperament of a Golden Retriever to describe the Springer’s personality. They are happy to go home and lie around the house if that is what their families are doing at the time. As long as they are allowed to people with people, they are flexible and acclimate easily to different activity levels. Being a long breeder of a variety of puppies, we can attest to their absolute friendliness.

A full grown English Springer Spaniel weighs 35-55 pounds and is an excellent sporting dog. Springers can remain in good health most of their lives which can span 10 to 14 years. There are two types of Springer Spaniels, those that are field bred, and those that are show bred. The field bred variety has a shorter coat and a more active temperament than the show bred variety. Both field bred and show bred Springer Spaniels have docked tails. The difference is, the field bred dogs tail is docked longer. The reason for this is that the tail is an important hunting tool It acts as an alert signal for the hunter.

A purebred English Springer Spaniel has a coat color of either liver and white or black and white. A tri-color combination exists, charactized by a liver, white, and black coat, but this combination occurs infrequently and only results when the sire and dam are both tri-color as well. These are easily recognised by the white flash that runs down the middle of their faces.

If you need a good hunting dog, with plenty of energy, who is ready to sniff out some ‘game’, English Springer Spaniels are the breed for you. Springers are happy to spend all day outside with their masters, they love water and are not particularly sensitive to weather in general. Because they are an old breed, they have been a favorite canine for many years. 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.
