So intelligent, eager to please. Mine can go upstairs and fetch either my scarf, fleece, trainers as instructed. Comes in and shuts the door behind her. Comes to pass me the towel when I pull the plug out of the bath. Opens the washer door and puts the towel in then shuts the door again. Takes the recycling out to the plastic bins. Fetches me the to remote (whether I want it or not) she is an absolute treasure, my best friend and my most treasured possession X
@@MrBeastx6 Not at all, she's a star. I don't know what I'd do without her. Her latest job is when the online shopping arrives I get her to put the packet of nuts in the lower cupboard and fetch any cans from the front door to the kitchen. She loves to help, she gets so excited but of course, she knows she will get a treat for doing it x
My springer brings so much joy to me and my wife! The fenced in corner lot yard keeps the neighborhood kids running and playing with him all day. We love our springer named TRIP. That name fits him so well, he is a real TRIP.......
Springers have a lot of energy but it is controlled. Some high energy dogs are idiots but springers are super smart. I like the fact that they don’t dog shed as much as my lab but they need to go to the groomer every month or two.
Best, best, best breed there is. They say springers are very energetic, but I'm on my second one and neither of mine was super hyper at all. In fact my current springer is the mellowest dog I ever had (I don't even need a leash). My last one was more active and playful, but not above average and he adapted to apartment living very well. They're the most affectionate dogs I know, highly intelligent. They don't shed. All they do is love you to pieces, so much so that they hate being alone. That part is true. But they're so wonderful, you never want to leave them behind. As for looks, no finer creature walked the face of the earth. Yeah, I kinda like springers. :)
They can be hyper, but usually aren't. They are energetic and will live longer healthier lives if they get tons of exercise, mine could run all day alongside my bike without even getting winded.
Ours is 12 years old. She is the best dog that we have ever had and everyone always loves her. When we visit friends and family she has to go to. She has basically helped raise the kiddos. She guards them, keeps them close, helps put them to bed. Perfectly behaved. Easily trained. I hope she stays forever.
Best dog I ever had the pleasure of owning was a springer named Heather. She lived to be 14. I just lost my choc lab (Sierra) to cancer last Nov, she was only 5. It's tough losing a special friend.
We've had three. Loved them all. Two males, one female. The female was the best dog I ever had. She loved everyone. One lived to 16, the other 12 and the one now is 11. They all loved kids.
Depends on the individual dog i guess.I had one that lived to 16 and a half.Went crazy to get out as soon as it saw snow, yet lay right against the hearth of the fire! Amazing dog, still talked about by my friends thirty years later.But, one thing is right, they don't like to be alone.Bathing never a problem, just walked it to the Cromarty Firth each day, then splash!
Our Salli FREEAKED out the first time up north in the snow. she was like a bull during a bull run. very long haired though. LOVES to carry(gently) a stuffed animal around the home.
If you're looking for an outdoor activity companion, (working) springers are the perfect breed. I take mine on hikes and mountain biking. She could spend the whole day running and chasing stuff.
Loving and loyal, energetic and eager to please...Springers have been the furry companions chosen by many in our family for decades. They are beautiful on the inside and outside. However, choose a reputable breeder as sadly seizures has become more common...which may also be due to the poisons in many commercial dog foods and our declining environment. God Bless the beautiful English Spring Spaniels!! Once you own one...you will understand in your heart why they stand above the K9 crowd.
Betty Breach totally agree. So intelligent, eager to please. Mine can go upstairs and fetch either my scarf, fleece, trainers as instructed. Comes in and shuts the door behind her. Comes to pass me the towel when I pull the plug out of the bath. Opens the washer door and puts the towel in then shuts the door again. Takes the recycling out to the plastic bins. Fetches me the to remote (whether I want it or not) she is an absolute treasure, my best friend and my most treasured possession X
well My Salli(black and white), when runs while very happy to see me, runs like her 4 cylinders are not in sync. NO problem with our 2YO grand daughter, skiddish with with overbearing stranger kids. such a DAMN lovable dog. :)
I have had 2 of them. On one occasion a person suffering from PTSD was about to approach my truck with a knife. Mario the ESS would not let him within 5" of the truck! I think it was because of the great relationship I had with him. He was a field bred ESS, a GREAT DOG!
You state a high prey drive as a bad thing, springers are hunting dogs, they're supposed to have a high prey drive, probably not the best attribute for a city dog, but for someone who spends a lot of time in the fields or forests, or lives out in the country, they're just fine, as long as the dog can be called off of game being chased. Springers are gonna springer! They actually have their beginnings in Shakespearian times (late 1500's - early 1600's) originating in Spain, the term spaniel dates back to the late 1300's, as; middle English: spayne, old French: espaigno, Spanish (dog), a derivative of espaigne, Spain. I've got my 4th, springer now, I fell in love with the breed over 40 years ago. They are a higher maintenance dog, needing a good brushing several times a week, their fur has a waxy coating that helps them shed dirt and mud from their fur, (all over your home!) the waxy flakes also put a lot of dander everywhere, so frequent vacuuming is necessary. Highly intelligent, eager to learn, eager to please, lovable and friendly, I'll have a springer in my home for the rest of my life.
I couldn't agree more! Lost my beloved boy Buster last April and I just cannot get used to having the whole bed to myself and not having to hang on to the edge for grim life. But saying that, what I wouldn't give to have him back.
I was raised with an ESS and I couldn't have asked for a better friend. As an older adult, I was fortunate enough to adopt one, and I couldn't have made a better choice ! He was 6 months old when I adopted him and I was lucky enough to have him for 11 years. He got sick in November and I didn't leave his side. He got very bad in late December. In early January, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Everything was so fast at that point and my double mastectomy was scheduled for mid February. In late January he started to really go downhill and i was having to carry him outside and hold him up while he went to the bathroom. I knew i wouldn't be able to do that after surgery, so my husband's aunt took him to care for him (she lives on a huge farm with lots of animals). My precious baby lived until 3 days after my mastectomy. That was 5 years ago. I would love to have another one, but in searching around my state, the cheapest price I could find for them is $400. I just can't afford that at this point in my life. I keep praying that I will be lucky enough to find one for adoption. If you have the chance to get one, it would be a decision that you wouldn't regret !!!
Mark Bivens mine is almost 10 and I am so dreading that terrible day. So afraid I will end up with serious mental health problems X so sorry for your loss x
Same, amazing dog, so smart and easy to train, she was more obedient than my sister's lab which she spent some $10,000 training, mine did everything I asked just for pets, no treats needed.
I had one when I was a teenager, the only dog I lived with. he was my dad's dog, they used to hunt together. I'd like to take another one but I'm afraid to leave him alone for two half day a week, maybe a dog trainer can help me with this behavior ? Or is it hopeless ?
@@seancasey6312 Nah, video was pretty accurate. Try keeping an unfixed male in a fenced yard, you'll understand the rating of 1 for wanderlust. I didn't agree with bathing or dog smell, they will get into water whenever they can, but if they don't they rarely need a bath or smell.
I would have smother Springer Spaniel in a heartbeat! I don’t like that they need so much grooming, however. We had a spayed female who had been passed around a lot; we were her fourth and last owners. Hattie was a sweet, sweet dog.
With scores like 2 for excercise needs or 32 out of 70, and 1 for bathing, 4 for grooming, Now is that a 4 out of 10? A 4 outta 5?; gotta be the English sense of humor- dont expect to learn anything from this
@@joshuas637 for real there supposed to be hunting dogs that's what there meant for but if you dont train them do be one they wont be and there a great family dog. I have 2 and there awesome and very smart.
I just rescued a 2-year-old Springer! He is so perfect! I am hoping it won't be too much of an issue when I go back to college and have to leave him alone in the apartment when I'm in class and at work. If anyone has any tips to help train him to be comfortable let me know! I have several months to train him before I go back because of the coronavirus.
They are prone to separation anxiety, so he might howl all day when you're gone. The best solution is to keep him in a crate so he can't destroy anything - mine ripped the linoleum up off the floor.
Not our dog as many times as people come over through him treats while not looking he would bite their head off outside if he barks and gets scared he runs for the door. Wasn’t like that at the beginning but his brother would go after him to fight even if he didn’t do anything. He was the runt but to 3 people he is the most lovable dog there is I wish people could see how he really is
I've a springer spaniel and I've had him since 2 months old he's a male but he loves my dad and when he's with him I try make him move he starts shaking and growling but won't snap me thankfully how do I stop him from doing it and just Co operating
I’m thinking of getting an English Springer Spaniel and was wondering whether male or female dog would be good for me? Do they have different temperaments ?.
The best one I have had was a female. Although this male at my feet is a great dog. My opinion...view the litter and pick the best pup without taking sex into consideration.
I love this video but one thing u got wrong is them being smart my dog kasper or k is so stupid!!! I spent over 3,000 on training and it hasn’t worked but I love him so much and wouldn’t change him for the world
one of the very best breeds to have as pets! most sweet,affectionate, playful, caring,loyal, silly & distinguished.❤
Absolutely love them best dogs I've ever had
Very loyal and affectionate breed. Great fun and very intelligent. Fantastic pet

Springer spaniels are the best
Love the Springers!
Yes. I like the English Springer Spaniel. I have two of them, a brother and a sister. We couldn't decide on one of them, so we took both!
Any help? It’s hard to get an answer on this breeds tolerance of cats. I’m planning to get a puppy, so it will be early introduced. Thoughts?

1. They won't rip your face off
2. When walking off-leash, they always walk in front of you.
3. They are easy to train, if you respect the animal.

The best one I have had was a female. Although this male at my feet is a great dog. My opinion...view the litter and pick the best pup without taking sex into consideration.
They're pretty equal in temperament, females can be more protective of you and their home, but once they're fixed it doesn't even matter.
What does it mean when the score for “Bathing Needs” is a one (1)?
I guess because of their long hair. It helps if ask the groomer for a field cut.
2 in exercize its way to low, they need much more, both mental and physical training 😅
Have a Springer too. His Name is Paul
These numbers don't add up. We have a springer.
They're pretty accurate, you just have to understand the rating system.
