English Springer Spaniel Characteristics
Always enthusiastic, the English Springer Spaniel is an energetic dog with a friendly, loyal and affectionate disposition. They are easy to train due to their intelligence and enjoy being close to their owners, love nothing more than their owners’ company that’s why many of them are perfectly to snuggle on the sofa beside their favourite human for hours.
Springers are friendly, playful and enjoy being active. They also love the water and are great family pets although they need plenty of training and exercise to stay out of mischief.
This type of breed has very high energy levels compared to other breeds. They’re always going to be a bit of a handful, no matter how old they are, if they’re not trained properly. They can also have aggression toward other dogs and people, so it’s important to socialize them early and often.
