Hi, I have an English Springer Spaniel and honestly when your able to bring him home you should start walking him. You need to teach him/her to walk on a leash at a young age.
Try little and often when they are under six months old (too much walking can damage their developing bones) so make sure they get plenty of rest in between. Try to also involve obedience training on each walk.

Springer spaniel bitches usually have their first season (heat cycle) between 6-12 months of age, but this may vary slightly from dog to dog.
1year
Springer spaniel bitches typically come into season once a year due to their reproductive cycle, which is influenced by hormonal changes and environmental factors. The estrous cycle consists of several stages, with the most notable being proestrus, estrus, metestrus, and anestrus. For many breeds, including springer spaniels, the anestrus phase is prolonged, leading to an annual heat cycle. Factors such as age, health, and breed characteristics can also affect the timing and frequency of their seasons.
My springer spaniel was in heat for about 6 weeks in total last January. Other dog owners have told me that that is an exceptionally long time, so may be a one off unusual case. However, the vet told me that's about right.
As soon as it looks fluffy or too fluffy about once every 3 to 4 months
A Springer Spaniel typically gets all of its adult teeth by around six months of age. During this period, they lose their baby teeth and the adult teeth emerge. By the time they reach about one year old, their full set of adult teeth should be in place. Regular dental care is important for maintaining their oral health.
The average age of a cocker spaniel is around 12 to 15 years.
After 9 minths if age, any breed of dog is typically considered an adult
A springer spaniel's nose may be half pink and half brown due to a condition known as "dudley nose," where pigment in the nose is unevenly distributed, often influenced by genetics. This coloration can also result from variations in pigmentation due to age, skin conditions, or exposure to the sun. Some dogs may have a naturally occurring two-tone nose as part of their breed characteristics. If there are any changes or concerns, it's best to consult a veterinarian.
A Springer Spaniel may leak urine due to several reasons, including urinary tract infections, bladder stones, or incontinence related to age or hormonal changes. Behavioral issues, such as anxiety or excitement, can also lead to urinary leakage. It's essential to consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan to address the underlying cause.
You should breed a stallion at the age of 5.
The heaviest males weigh around 33lbs. my pure breed weighs around 70lbs.
