The English Springer Spaniel is a popular breed of dog, mostly known for it's kind, affectionate nature. The English Springer Spaniel is a breed of gun dog, most traditionally used for fishing and retrieving game. This breed has a typical lifespan of twelve to fourteen years. The coat of an English Springer Spaniel is a mix of white, chestnut, and chocolate brown colors, and medium to short in length.
President and Mrs Bush use to have a English Springer Spaniel - however, that dog passed away about 8 years ago. They presently have a Scottish Terrier.
The average life span is about 10-14 years old.
The Cocker springer is a breed from the Spaniel family used for retrieving and flushing game. It is an excitable, affectionate breed with a life span of about fourteen years. The king Charles breed is also a dog from the spaniel family.
When the dog is two years old or more.... (for females and males.)
The average lifespan of a Welsh Springer Spaniel is typically around 12 to 15 years. Like all breeds, individual lifespans can vary based on genetics, health, and care. Regular veterinary check-ups and a healthy lifestyle can contribute to a longer life for these dogs.
These are some of the breed highlights of English Springer Spaniels: * They don't like to be left alone and may become nuisance barkers if they're bored or lonely. * In recent years, there have been reports of English Springer Spaniels who are aggressive or overly submissive. * In essence, there are two varieties of English Spring Spaniel: ones intended to work in the field, and ones intended to show. * Don't expect your English Springer Spaniel to be a good guard dog. * English Springer Spaniels were developed to have great stamina and energy. * Some English Springer Spaniels can demonstrate submissive urination, which means they pee in excitement or anxiety when you come home. * Be sure to keep your English Springer Spaniel on a leash when you take him to unprotected areas. ADDED TO PREVIOUS ANSWER: I have a springer spaniel and have many friends who have them also. They... * love people * love water * obedient (i take him down to the park for a swim and he runs, swims, rolls, does all the doggy stuff but will come when called) springer spaniels love obeying their masters * love water * love sniffing around (as they were initially hunting dogs) * playful * the most beautiful nature of a dog i have ever seen * great with kids and families * happy, go lucky dogs * minimal guard dog ability * we have had absolutely no problems with my springer barking. if anything he barks less than most other dog breeds * do not have a yappy bark (big positive) * love attention and giving you kisses * my dog has only peed in excitement once and it was the first ever time he was alklowed inside and lots of people were over (this is fair enough though as he had been a always outside dog for over five years) * always happy to see you
My neighbors Golden had eleven pups in her first litter. She had another litter a couple of years later and had nine.
Just after the turn of the 20th century, Alexander White of Spartanburg, South Carolina saw a small brown spaniel type dog wondering around after church service. The dog appeared to be a stray and he decided to take the dog home with him. He discovered that the dog had great hunting abilities. This stray had a wonderful bird sense. Alexander gave the dog to his hunting partner L. Whitaker Boykin. The dog was a male and he was given the name "Dumpy". The Boykin Spaniel breed has evolved from this one dog, with crosses to American Water Spaniels, Springer Spaniels, Pointers and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. It is used as a hardy retriever of upland birds as well as water fowl. The Boykin Spaniel is popular in the Southern United States among bird hunters. Its state of origin is South Carolina USA and South Carolina has designated the Boykin Spaniel its official state dog. In July 2005 the Boykin Spaniel Club of Breeders Assoc. of America was named by AKC as the official parent club. The Boykin Spaniel was an AKC FSS (Foundation Stock Service) breed for many years. The BSCBAA submitted their paperwork to AKC to progress into the miscellaneous group and was approved on February 9th 2007 with the effective date of January 1st 2008. Breeders hope to move the breed from the AKC miscellaneous class to the sporting group sometime in the future.
The life span of the Sussex Spaniel is 12-14 years.
