You are getting a springer spaniel in a soon any advice?

Answer 1

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
