What is the rarest dog breed in the UK?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

one of the rarest dog breeds is the flat-coated retriever it is a common ancestor of the golden retriever. The difference is it comes in liver(brown) and black. Another difference is they weight slightly less than the golden but are a bit taller. Also their faces are similar but have a slightly different shape to them. They are very affectionate and loyal pets. If you have a claustrophobic problem than i would not suggest getting one because they do not understand personal space. The lifespan is 11-13 years.they are perfect for family's of any size because they will love everyone and are always egor to please. If you have a newborn or an elderly person in you household the flat-coated retriever will Be perfect. they are very easy to train and love water. Never let them loose off a leash unless you have trained them because they love to follow interesting scents. The black flat coats are usually healthier because liver(brown) flat coats tend to have bone problems. Flat coats also tend to shed. Over all flat-coated retrievers are very good pets and very rare.

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.

Asked by Wiki User

Yes Welsh Springer Spaniel are quite good in agility at least 9/10 is their grade. Welsh Springers can do a lot of tasks such as water retrieving, flushing, tracking and they can be good therapy dogs. But if you want dog for agility Welsh Springer Spaniel is awesome, and one good thing about them that there is no separate hunting and show line like in English Springers, also you can consider them as good potential, and some other breeds which makes excellent agility dogs from VIII. FCI group is Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever as well as Lagotto Romagnolo and Spanish Water dog.

Are springer spaniels good dogs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.'

Why does your springer spaniel eat?

Asked by Wiki User

Springer Spaniels will pretty much eat whatever you give them. That is different from the question - What should you be feeding your Springer Spaniel. I personally go for a hypoallergenic diet for my George; it reduces their affectations from allergies and is probably better for them. there is more info here : 1

How much paracetamol to give a springer spaniel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Paracetamol is the trade name for acetominophen, which should not be used in canines. Dogs are very sensitive to the side effects of human pain medications and you can cause a fatal stomach ulcer with these drugs.

If you believe your dog would benefit from pain medication, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian. There are safe pain medications for dogs, but you will need a veterinary prescription to get them.
