I've had four Springers since 1976, two males and two females. My males were big boys, one was fit at 75 pounds, on one was fit at 82 pounds. One of my females was 55 pounds, which is a big as 'the book' says a male is. My last companion made it to 16 years and 9 months, and was active up until the last 3 months. He did go deaf at about eleven years old. It was good that I had trained him to hand signals after that happened, he knew when to come, load up, sit, lay down, and search, just by signals.
We lost one recently after 12 1/2 years.She was such a wonderful companion,great watch dog,just and all round fabulous best friend.She went almost everywhere with us.We now have an 11 month old,she is fantastic,but will never replace the other girl,Dixi.There are two different types here in Australia,the show springer,and the field Springer.Ours are the field Springer.
Great video and super helpful as always, but 'other colours that pop up including red and white' is a Welsh Springer Spaniel and definitely would get their own points at a dog show. There are 2 different Springer Spaniel varieties and it might be worth pointing that out 😊
My last two springers were from the west coast of the USA and seem to be larger than the east coast variety. Lucy was 55 pounds and Seamus was 75 pounds and no they weren't fat . They went hunting everyday mostly chasing rabbits.
Well done. I’ve had 3 Springers with absolutely no health problems. I just picked up a 10 month old girl who was returned to the breeder because she has renal dysplasia, which I’ve never heard of in Springers, but is apparently seen in Cockers. She appears to have a fairly mild disease and we have our fingers crossed that she will live a long life. I didn’t know if you’d heard of this in the breed before, so thought I’d mention it.
I've had a Springer Spaniel or a Brittany for the last 25 years...got a beautiful cross breed laying next to me. 1/2 Springer Spaniel 1/2 Brittany....big health great friend.....
You only talked about the englisch springer spaniel, but what about the welsh? There are two different breeds of springer spaniels. We will get a welsh springer spaniel soon and i hoped you would say something about them, too.🤗
We’ve had them all, currently a female English Springer (show), previously a male English Springer (working) and a male Welsh Springer. The Welshie was by far the most attractive dog, but the English Springers were noticeably smarter.
I love the way you talk and the passion you have for what you do! Great information and delivery! I have two springers. Fantastic dogs. We get them out to exercise all the time. Thank you!
We’ve just adopted a 7 year old Spaniel Springer - I do need some more info on how to get him more trained. He is not that food driven, so lure him with food doesn’t work that much, so far I’ve only managed to get sit command to work. Not even stand command works 🤷♂️
Keep at it! If you get stuck remember you can check out our Fenrir Canine Training channel or our premium training courses here: www.fenrirdogtraining.com/courses. You might find the Canine Boot Camp most useful :)
I have a 1 year springer and they are stubborn and intelligent. She is not very food driven but goes nuts over all kinds of toys and pull/chew toys. I lure her into sit, stay, paw, roll over, and come using the toys. I also incorporated playing games to add value to her crate by throwing the toys in any out of her crate daily for about a month before I started closing the door. I made that a game as well by having her stay and then get rewarded by finding a hidden toy after she stayed quiet in her crate. Also one very small nuance is when she barks to get out of her crate I do the opposite that she wants me to do. I walk away from her and pay her no attention. After a while she realized that her bark lost value and that by being quiet she could get out. These dogs are brilliant, always trying to be stimulated, figure you out and if you can establish yourself as the leader will go to great lengths to please you. Keep at it. It can take a very long time (months) before these more complex behaviors are learned. She learned the basics really fast (days)
Omg 😲 my Elsie's recall is terrible but from an excellent pure breeding from family line of hunters but she is my city dog im gonna have to the 3 peaks after hearing this
we have a 1 year old springer spaniel however he is way bigger and doesn't look like a springer spaniels face, he is very protective of me aswell which normal for a dog this breed, at all so we got him a DNA test it came back and said springer spaniel which i was very confused about. Either way we love the big lad intelligent, protective, kind, what else could you ask for.
Thanks for watching! If you have any health concerns about your dog we would highly recommend chatting them through with your vet as they are the best place people to look it over and keep track of anything going on.
this is so reassuring! We will get our springer psaniel puppy in 2 days and I am so anxious about them being very active.. We are a regular family with regular jobs, I wish I could spend my days in the park , but it is impossible! so 1 hour in the morning plus 1 hour in the afternoon will it be ok? In the weekends it is different, of course.. Thanks!
@@francescasole7300 if you get a show springer you should be alright if you have a reasonble backyard i havent taken my dog for a walk for ages but if you give them enough playtime time but we have some one home most of the time
Totally agree our well trained Molly when exposed to birds and other animals becomes totally distracted and won’t listen to our commands. We have resorted to keeping her on leash because getting lost is a real concern. Invisible fence in our large yard works great. Totally wonderful with our grandchildren.
behaviour is interesting, i have 2 springers brother and sister, their mum is family dog and my parents also kept 2 bitches so when together my male is the only male of 5. so the girl is fine with other dogs maybe a little shy if one bullies her but the male.... hes fine id say with 80% of other dogs but then if any dog jumps up on him, tries to bully dominant any of his family or some his very close dog friends he will flip them to the ground and snarl and depending on what the dog did may get quite vicious and biting but that more reserved for dogs that try to hump him and try to dominate him. Weird thing he is otherwise very well trained, his recall is topnotch, he hunts birds like a champion and his retrieval is perfect. He follows commands, its just hard to let him off lead, coz he is responsive on the lead when he wants to go for another dog that is triggering that response but looks at me with a wiggle in his body and the look of "go on let me at them" so defo not springer rage. assuming this is just very alpha male behaviour and he is almost correcting them? any thoughts
The Springer Spaniel is the largest of the spaniel breeds: Eye roll - NO , NO, NO! All credibility shot. Clumber Spaniels anyone? Those big boys get up to 85 pounds.
They can come across as goofy, but I can definitely say they are highly intelligent, curious, and make great companions.
Definitely agree!
Are you talking about women, or the dog 😉?

I used to have an English Springer Spaniel named Dolly. We had to put her down in 2010, she was 14. I miss her

Wish I could get to meet you for help with my springer spaniel.

Sounds like you have a beautiful dog!
I WISHD ID HAD SPRINGER SANIEL
Springers the biggest Spaniel breed? When did Clumbers go extinct?
Are English and Welsh Springer Spaniels considered the same breed in the UK?
Sounds like docking tails is still legal in the uk? Surprising if this is the case.
Are passionnant you are very interesting fact this is really my molly i loveeeeeeee your accent is it brit or aussie.?
My Springer is beyond a good hunter he,s nuts bro! His eyes keep leaking tho he's only 3 is this a problem??
Thanks for watching! If you have any health concerns about your dog we would highly recommend chatting them through with your vet as they are the best place people to look it over and keep track of anything going on.
Why do you show so many pics of dogs that Aren't English springers in your video

This is just another 5 reasons to not get a springer spaniel lol.
My springer spaniel is gay and the vet has said he’s gay also
So whose gay the dog or the Vet?
How tf the vet come up with that
