Good to know
- Springing game: bred to "spring" (flush) birds for hunters, they are energetic and have strong hunting instincts.
- High energy: they need daily vigorous exercise and enjoy activities like retrieving, swimming and dog sports.
- Eager to please: friendly and smart, they generally respond well to training.
- People-oriented: they love being part of family life and don't like being left alone for long periods.
- Coat care: the medium-length, feathered coat needs regular brushing and occasional trimming.
Getting out with a English Springer Spaniel
They need daily exercise beyond a stroll: longer trails, games of fetch and time to run at the park.
