They are fantastic family pets providing they get plenty of long, long walks. our daughter was born when our Springer Spaniel was about 6 and they got on so well together, he was very protective of her! I wouldn't think twice about having another one.
I strongly recommend the english springer spaniel to anybody looking for a family dog. They are so full of love and affection it's unbelievable. However because they are so energatic as a breed on the whole, it can lead to 'mad moments' if you decide to skip a walk for a day because it's raining. They are a breed which either LOVE or hate water, but can show a few signs of cautionwithin the first couple of moths old. My spaniel used to hate ponds, puddles, and was terrified of the sea! But as soon as he turned about 5 months, It was as if a switch was turned on in his head. He dive bombed EVERY pond or puddle, crawling through it and coating themselves in mud. I thought is was funny, but the amount of mud they get caked in gets brought back to the house, which could prove a stairgate usefull to block off the living room. All I'm saying is that you should read up on the dog's behaviour and history before you go out 'impulse buying.'

∙ 12y agoIt depends on the dog, I mean they are all different but I'm afraid the answer is no.. It's a dog used for hunting and very active.. if he sees a cat running I think that he wants to catch it. But you can always try it and learn your dog to live with cats.
