Basic Requirements: English Springer Spaniels are active, energetic dogs that need a good-sized well-fenced yard in which to exercise. Bi-weekly brushing will help to control moderate shedding. Occasional trimming of the coat is necessary.

 

Temperament: Generally friendly and good with children. English Springer Spaniels will usually bark if a stranger approaches the home. They are devoted to their owners and want to please. On rare occasions, some dogs may exhibit shy or aggressive abnormal behavior. Ask to see the parents so you can evaluate their temperament before purchasing a pup.
