Springer Spaniels Think They Are People
English Springer Spaniels are intelligent dogs who catch on to new things easily. 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. Children should be supervised with all breeds of dogs.
The Springer brand of dogs are generally friendly and always looking to make their owners happy. There are people who use the sweet temperament of a Golden Retriever to describe the Springer’s personality. If it is what their families are doing, they are perfectly content with just laying around the house. They are very flexible and acclimate easily to various activity levels, as long as they are allowed to be with people as much as possible. 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.
As a breed, the English Springer Spaniel is a medium sized sporting dog, and can weigh anywhere from 35-55 pounds at adulthood. They are typically healthy dogs that live happy lives that average about 10-14 years on average. 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.
English Springer Spaniels generally have two different variations of colored fur which are either black and white or liver 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. A white mark down the middle distinguishes them.
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 are happy to spend all day outside with their masters, they love water and are not particularly sensitive to weather in general. 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 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. These loving animals can find a place in anyones heart and home which is something we have experienced.
