The English Springer Spaniel is a high energy, loving, and intelligent dog. These spaniels, like most, were first bred for hunting. They were named Springer spaniel for their idiosyncratic ability to spring, so that birds would come out of their hiding places. These dogs became popular in America in the 1700s. Hunters were attracted to their hunting skills. Today, Springers are still used for hunting but, they are also used as family pets. Springer's have a sociable,happy, friendly temperament. They love being with people. If not handled enough, these dogs can become destructive. Springers are high energy and they need a lot of exercise. Long, daily walks, with some off leash time, is the best kind of exercise for them. Bench English Spaniels have a long coat that needs to be brushed regularly to prevent matting. Field Springers have a shorter coat that does not need much grooming. As far as training goes, Springers are great. They train very easily. These dogs are great at agility and tricks so training can be very effective. Overall, the English Springer Spaniel is a great dog for families who will give him lots of attention, exercise, training, and most importantly, Love.
