English Springer Spaniel
The English Springer Spaniel is a charming and affectionate bird dog known for its energy, endurance, and intelligence.
The versatility of Springers is well known, as they transform from well-behaved family companions during the week to reliable shooting partners on the weekends.
Designed for long days in the field, English Springer Spaniels are robust and muscular, standing 19 to 20 inches tall at the shoulder and weighing between 40 and 50 pounds.
Their double coat comes in various colours and patterns, complemented by their long, silky ears. The breed’s signature feature is their gentle, trusting eyes, which give them a warm, friendly expression.
Springers have a smooth, efficient gait and are bred to work closely alongside humans, making them easy to train and eager to please. They thrive on companionship and can become unhappy if left alone for too long.
Friendly and well-mannered, they get along well with children and other pets. Always ready to participate in family activities, they enjoy long walks, games of fetch, and swimming—making them the perfect companions for active families.
