WHAT IS AN ENGLISH SPRINGER SPANIEL LIKE?
The English Springer Spaniel is a very smart breed, extremely loving and focused on its human.
He will be the perfect companion for a person or family with an active lifestyle.
Keep in mind that this is still a hunting dog and should be given the proper amount of exercise and obedience training. Only a well-behaved springer will be a perfect companion for walks and travels together.
An adult springer needs a minimum of 1 hr walk a day in a safe place where he can run loose.
Remember that a bored not-running dog is a frustrated and unhappy dog that will find its own entertainment.
However, it is important to remember that puppies should not be physically forced with movement.
The walk is due any time of year and in any weather. You have to love wellies, a wood-proof jacket and getting up in the morning on weekends too.
We have to reckon with the fact that our springer will not look like a cover model after a walk.
He will be dirty, wet, muddy and sometimes smelly. Therefore, we must also like with our doggie baths after walks, drying, combing and the fact that our house will not be perfectly clean.
We have to accept, sand and hair on the floor, on the sofa or on the plate
The English Springer Spaniel is also a breed that requires regular grooming. We can learn and do it ourselves at home after buying the right equipment. Or go to a good groomers salon and entrust your dog to a professional. Before choosing a salon, make sure the groomer is knowledgeable about grooming our breed.
The English Springer Spaniel needs regular bathing and grooming with good quality cosmetics.
Recommended salon grooming is once every 6 or 8 weeks.
Deciding on an English Springer Spaniel you should keep in mind that a well-balanced diet is essential.
The new owner must also be prepared to make regular visits to the vet for regular vaccinations, deworming, or tick prevention.
​
The English Springer Spaniel is a relatively healthy breed. When choosing a puppy, make sure the parents are tested and free of genetic diseases, have a hip x-ray for dysplasia, and have a current eye exam.
Last and perhaps most importantly, owning a dog of any breed is not just about the joys, it's also about the sorrows and expenses that you need to be prepared for. We take responsibility for another living being for the next dozen years.
