About the English Springer Spaniel
English Springer Spaniels are affectionate, sociable sporting dogs with plenty of energy and a keen nose. They usually love being part of family life and can be enthusiastic companions for walks, games and outdoor adventures. Their intelligence and willingness to work make them rewarding to train, especially with kind, consistent methods and engaging activities. They need regular exercise and mental stimulation, not just access to a garden, and their silky feathering benefits from frequent brushing and routine ear care. A Springer may suit an active household looking for a close companion and ready to include training, movement and coat care in everyday life.
