Springer Spaniel – Beloved Companions and Friends

Springer Spaniel is  extremely smart and learn very quickly. The Springer is the right choice for either a city or country home because they are so eager to please, loyal and like people. Many owner find humor in their energetic and playful animals that bring a smile to their faces. 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. 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. Some people have compared their temperament to the popular Golden Retriever. 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.

As a breed, the English Springer Spaniel is a medium sized sporting dog, and can weigh anywhere from 35-55 pounds at adulthood. Springers can remain in good health most of their lives which can span 10 to 14 years. Field bred Spingers have short hair and are generally more active than the show bred types. 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.

A purebred English Springer Spaniel has a coat color of either liver and white or black and white. There does exist a tri-color combination in the breed where the coat is black, liver, and white, but it is much more rare and generally requires both the sire and dam to be tri-color also. They are also known for having a white blaze on their faces usually down the middle.

English Springer Spaniels were bred to be natural hunters with a lot of energy, so you can expect your Springer to enjoy running around, sniffing out "game,"and retrieving things for you. Springers love the water and would enjoy spending the entire day outside with their owners as they are not especially affected by weather. Springers have been popular as pets and working dogs for a very long time. This is because they are an extremely old and well-established breed. These canines are often regarded as one of the oldest and best established gun dog and hunting breeds.

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.
