The vast majority of English Springer Spaniels are calm, even-tempered, and gentle. They are sociable, outstanding with children, and intelligent.

General Health

Like many other larger dog breeds, some lines of English Springer Spaniels are prone to hip dysplasia. Because of their propensity to gain weight at a quick pace, owners should take care not to overfeed. Other health concerns include eye problems such as PRA, a certain type of blood disorder known as PFK, HD, and epilepsy. Very rarely seen is a personality problem called “Rage Syndrome”. This disorder is extremely uncommon, and it occurs in many other popular breeds. Rage Syndrome is a treatable form of epilepsy that results in an otherwise normal dog attacking people. Generally, Rage Syndrome is not evident until the dog is two years old. This breed typically lives for 12 to 14 years.

Skin problems are common in this breed in the form of dry scab like patches that show on the stomach.

History

The English Springer Spaniel is the founder of all English hunting spaniel breeds. Throughout the Renaissance, these dogs were considered to be the hunting companion of choice by the Europeans. The extreme popularity of this breed started in 1700. The English Springer Spaniel acquired its name from the process by which it flushes game- they are known to “spring” forward to drive birds away from their hiding places. In addition to being a top-notch hunter, this breed is also an outstanding retriever. The English Springer Spaniel has a number of natural abilities including hunting, retrieving, tracking, competitive obedience, watching, agility, and trick-performing.

Maintenance

The short-coated variety of English Springer Spaniel is comparatively easy to groom and take care of. It should be brushed frequently with a stiff bristle brush. The longer-haired English Springer Spaniel has a coat that needs more attention. Without frequent brushing, they will get mats and pick up burrs. Both varieties of English Springer Spaniels should be bathed only as necessary. Ears should be checked on a regular basis for signs of infection, and excess hair on the feet should be kept trimmed. This breed is a constant moderate shedder.

They are comparatively inactive indoors, and they are happiest with at least an average-sized yard. The English Springer Spaniel will happily accept any amount of physical activity that is offered by its owner(s). They enjoy going for long walks and they love to swim and retrieve. This breed needs a lot of exercise to stay mentally and physically fit.

Post Response
i am planning on buying a springer spaniel pup tomorrow he is 7 weeks old is this too young?
Post Response
Hey, I have a 11 month old springer spaniel male, he is a house pet and companion. He is quite good off the lead and walks to heal for short periods of time (off the lead) but still needs some training, however when he is on the lead, he pulls like mad. Yes, I do get embarrased sometimes, but I do love him. I just need to know the best way to tarin him to walk to heal on the lead. Thank You. Bethany.
Our 8-month old springer does just as you describe. He has been to "kindergarden" and that helps. More classes to come. He is our fourth, and high spirits are common and desirable. The short attention span, impulsiveness, and distractability will moderate, so be patient. Enjoy their puppyhood!

hello i have a 12 mnth female springer and was wondering when she will have her first season, what age does it normally happen and when would be the right age to breed her?
Hi, This could be any time, my youngest has had her first season recently at 14 months, but they can come in quite a lot younger.

English Springer Spaniel

I have a 4 month old female named Emma. This is my second Spinger and I love the breed. They are so easy to train. I feel she should start talking to me at any time. She looks me right in the eye when I talk to her as if she knows and understands exactly what I am saying. A great companion.

Pros: Smart, loving, gentle, easy to train, excellent pet.

Cons: requires alot of attention as far as grooming.

English Springer Spaniel

We're on our 5th Springer and have had females and males and even a litter of puppies. This breed is great for people of all ages. They are very attentive and friendly and easy to train. They sometimes look like they're smiling back at you. We shave our Springer so that we don't have to groom her as much. They have so much personality.

Pros: very smart, loving, gentle, friendly, entertaining
