Good Points: Penny special friend, running forever springing through the corn both front paws clasped to her chest and long ears flopping open and swim she went nearly full circle around talking tarn lake. Then we had Rab completely the opposit more of a home dog, at first a real pain until at one and a half years old, he suddenly got it together, a wonderful dog searching the hedge-rows and coming back covered in stickies. I miss them both terribly
General comments: I'm looking around for another springer puppy or very young adult mainly with lots of liver as the predominant colour. Dew clipped with a docked tail. if we get a bitch its our intention to have her spayed. As we have little money we can only go up to £200. I'm on early retirement and my partner soon will be. Springers have been part (24) years of our lives. You have to be careful with them don't take them for granted like i did. Penny was in her outside kennel one summer night and i tried to get her to come into the house she didn't want to come so i thought well i'm going to reach in and get a hold of her she took my thumb down to the bone. There you are i thought that's your own stupid fault for not listening to her growls. Guess what! i let her stay outside that night. It was my own stupid fault, so no i didn't admonish her.

This is my first ESS! Besides my wife she is the love of my life. Sometimes I feel like she knows exactly what I want. She has slept in bed with us since we got her at 8 weeks. One of her favorite things to do is ride in the car. She is one of the best friends I've ever had.

I love Springers. I've now got my second one, having first owned a springer as a teenager, and having spent a few dogless years in between. They're wonderful dogs. Smart, affectionate and the clowns of the dog world.
That sharp mind loves playing games, mine loves retrieving, and is ace at hunting out toys that have been hidden. Now he's older he's also started to learn to do controlled retrieves and is enjoying that as well.
They love mud and water, so perhaps not the best pet for a house-prou ...

My English Springer Spaniel is extremely loyal, happy, friendly with other dogs, excellent with puppies and children. My dog spent an idyllic five years from the age of four months, living with me in a boy's boarding house! A dear friend, Ted is now 15, although arthritic, his mind is still very active.
On a good, warm day, he likes a game of 'footie'.

I've owned English Springer Spaniels as pets and worked springers for well over 30 years.
I've worked them as detection dogs, and as working gundogs, their original use.
I would go against the grain of other reviews here and say that they are not necessarily good pets, they are very intelligent and do need to use their brains, if not used they can become bored, destructive and a real pain to own.
The solution to this is good training and firm handling, if you say no you must mean no and ...

We are now raising Spaniel #2 (Lord Winslow) and #3 (Sir Theodore Usidae).
We started 12 years ago with "Fugly the Wonder Spaniel," a liver and white Springer, and he is sorely missed (sits in an urn on our dresser). He had problems with his ears and allergy eyes, but so lovable! Did I say smart? WOW! This dog knew your intentions well before you did!
Brad Johnson ("Marmaduke") wrote him up once at the end of the strip, how Fuggles loved to go for ice cream cones. At the mere mention of ...

Springer Spaniels are not just good for sniffing out drugs and suspect packages, although this proves their intelligence and high sense of smell. They love playing and can go on for ever, they are very friendly but can bark if they feel their owner is threatened, but would never attack or show aggression unless encouraged to. They also will stay by your side no matter what happens, they are so loyal and loving towards the members in the house hold. I would really recommend this breed.

I acquired my English Springer Spaniel after hearing that the dog was going to be shot if nobody wanted him. His history briefly comprises of being lost on the beach, taken to the dog's home where one lady picked him up. On realising she couldn't control him she gave him to her dad who had two elderly 'push button' collies. Needless to say Jud didn't fit in, and so I said I'd have him.
Admittedly I had problems with him when I had him, due to the fact he had received no training at all (he was ...

The English Springer Spaniel is a great dog for the active family or person, they absolutely love walks. Although they are quite small they have a big attitude, they are funny and very friendly dogs that enjoy attention and cuddles. A perfect pet and great friend.
