A popular gundog and pet, happy, energetic and hard working. Versatile - loves having a job to do. Pick your breeder carefully depending on the type of dog you need (pet/working/show). Characters vary greatly.

The Springer breeding line has almost split into working and show dog strains. A working dog purely as a pet will be hard going... they need a job to do and they'll do that job with boundless energy, intelligence and enthusiasm. A calmer breed line is needed for a pet and given the right character; they are excellent dogs for all ages, especially children, and fit into most households. Lovely temperaments... basically an all round classic dog.

Medium. The Breed Standard stipulates an approximate size of 51cm.

Generally a healthy dog with few breed specific problems. As with most spaniels, check the eyes and ears regularly for infection.

If you pick your breed line carefully and listen to the advise of the breeder, you'll have a lovely dog to live with, suitable for your personal needs

Remember! All breed profiles are general and every dog is an individual.
