English Springer Spaniel

These are fantasic pets to keep and are great for guarding, hunting/working and are brilliant family pets. If you get one of these you'll have your hands full for along time as these need alot of attention and walking. Our's is 8 months old now and she's bonkers but also very well behaved. They come in two colours liver and white or black and white. We take her out for a good hour twice a day. On the lead she pulls alot and never listens I think she's just egar to get to her destination where she can come off the lead. Springers are retreivers and will always stick close by and will never leg it if the have an opportunatey they also malt like mad and your forever ...  Read the complete review

Springer spaniels, without a doubt are goregous dogs to look at, very pretty faces and a lovely medium length coat which is great to stroke. In personality, I can't agree. The english springer spaniel is a gundog, often used for fishing and are very versatile sporting dogs. They have lots of energy and are good for work and family life. Springer spaniels usually have a lifespan of around 9-15 years, although this can vary between dogs as they are all different. They usually grow to aroung thigh high which again can vary between dogs. Apparently, these dogs are meant to be eager to please and good to learn, but not in my experience!

Before I continue with this review, I should just point out that I may be a little biased (but still totally honest) about Springer Spaniels as I have a real soft spot in my heart for them. Growing up I was surrounded by the breed. My best friends family had 2, my auntie had 1, and they were scattered around the neighbours like they were going out of fashion. I loved watching their curiousity, their energy, their love of life. I have always had a love of Springers, but when the time was right for us to look around for a new member of the family - I still did the research. I wanted to make sure that we got the right the right sort of dog to fit in with ...  Read the complete review

My springer spaniel is now 10 months old and I have had her since she was 8 weeks old so I feel like I can finally write this review. I purchased my puppy from a friend of the family. He isn't a breeder but had two springers so I was able to meet the parents and be involved with them through the pregnancy. Both parents are KC registered as is my puppy. I first saw her when she was 2 days old and I fell in love with her immediately. I had decided I wanted a black and white one from the outset and I wanted one with a mainly black face. As soon as I saw her pretty face I fell in love. She stayed with her parents until she was 8 weeks old and I was ...  Read the complete review

I have a seven month old Springer called Alfie. I bought this dog with little knowledge of the working qualities or history of the breed therefore I will not attempt to review this trait. Alfie is is almost completely white with a black bum and head. As he is still a young pup he is incredibly lively and energetic and needs lots of long walks. Until he was aged about five months he was very difficult to manage and was rather disobedient and difficult to housetrain. Now he is slightly older he is an absolute joy to have around - he uses all his energy on his walks (by tearing through the park/field) and now settles down happily on our lap for the evening. He is very ...  Read the complete review
