10 Reasons why Springer Spaniels are the Best Family Dogs
Over the years I have owned both types of Springer Spaniels, which leads me, unashamedly, to this completely biased springer spaniel advice article. If you are looking for a companion or family pet, whether a rescue dog or a puppy, then here are a whole load of reasons why either the English or Welsh Springer is the breed for you. He'll get you out into the fresh air and make you laugh every day!
Reason #1 - History Equals Refinement
Springer spaniels are part of the Gundog group and we can trace their history back at least ten centuries. This means that they are highly developed, but without any of the bad inbreeding traits that you see in some other dogs.
Reason #2 - History Equals Choice
Given their history and a thousand years refinement, there are several spaniel lines to choose from, within which we have the Springers. The American Kennel Club of England recognises two distinct pedigrees of Springer Spaniel: The English Springer and the Welsh Springer. They are clearly close cousins, yet clearly distinct. The English Springer is much more numerous than the Welsh Springer.
Reason #3 - They are Popular and this Means Choice
Because these dogs are so popular, then there are lots of breeders and you will have plenty of breeders to choose from giving you plenty of choice of puppies. You should easily find a breeder close to you, without having to travel for days as you might have to for a rare breed in a large country.
Reason #4 - Popularity Equals Health
These dogs are so popular because they are generally healthy. This is thought to be because they date back so far and have been such a successful breed that the breeding stock is widespread, reducing the effects of inbreeding. When a genetic problem does appear (inevitable from time to time) then there is plenty of stock to enable the condition to be eliminated from the problem line.
Reason #5 - Economic to Keep
They are medium sized and can be fed for around $7-$9 a week (£5-£7), and because they do not need professional trimming and grooming you save on cost here too. Their general good health means that on average the veterinary costs are low too.
Reason #6 - Effective Guard Dogs
They are not tiny and will not be ignored by intruders - an adult English Springer weighs 50 lbs - imagine being hit by that at a run. They will warn of strangers but without being too aggressive. And, because they are so loyal, they will defend their family staunchly.
Reason #7 - Travel
Their medium body size means that they fit comfortably into the average family small or mid-sized auto, without needing an SUV or truck to carry them around. They are small enough to travel easily on the railroad as well.
Reason #8 - Coat
Unlike a long haired dog, they do not shed hair heavily - they are considered to be medium shedders. Because their hair is only medium length then it is relatively easy to keep them tidy and well groomed.
Reason # 8 - Terrific Personality
These dogs (and I have owned both English and Welsh Springers) are great fun, full of vitality, but also loving and affectionate. They love to play games and to retrieve, particularly when water is involved.
Reason # 9 - Color
The English Springer has two distinct colour lines - liver and white, and black and white; both may have tan markings in addition. In the uSA you also find Blue roan. The Welsh Springer has only one coloring - red and white. Does it seem lighthearted to talk about color choice? Well, it can be important to some owners.
Reason # 10 - They Need Plenty of Exercise
Yes, that is a good reason, because it ensures that you and your family will get plenty of exercise too, and a lot of fun into the bargain.
I have stopped at ten reasons, but could give you more. For example about their high intelligence, eager to learn and easy to train. All in all, this adds up to a very strong recommendation of these great dogs.
