I consider myself extremely fortunate. My springer is one year old. The mother is a field dog, and the father is a show dog, my springer, whose name is Angel, is neither overly active or lethargic. But very intelligent. it took me two weeks to have him trained on the basics, and in less than a year his recall is almost 100%. we walk a total of 6 to 8 miles a day; morning, early evening, and late evening. One thing that these ladies don’t mention, and I’m sure they do in other videos is that this breed is extremely loyal. Anyone thinking of getting a springer would not be disappointed.

I’ve got a puppy springer about 14 months now and she loves chasing butterflies she’s so affectionate 🤗

I have one presently and have had two others. I would like to add that Springer's ears being covered need weekly attention. Every Saturday I clean Queenie's inner ears with a 5% hydrogen peroxide 95% water solution swabbed on with q-Tips. She is happiest when afield and loves being part of the Ruffed Grouse hunt. Just a great companion.

My springer is my world he is all and beyond xx

After looking at that clip, it explains why I have to clean Miss Ellie every time we go for a walk! She loves to swim and roll in the mud! She's a lot of work, but I love her and want another one!

Good to hear! 😀

My 2nd springer was so clever I managed to train him in one day to sit, stay, fetch and drop. If u can train a springer to remain sitting whilst you throw a stick and have her fetch on command you have done a good job. I use hand gestures now to command my current Springer. Wonderful wonderful dogs I'd never dream of ever having a different breed. They are surprisingly tough, resilient and have incredible stamina. Very affectionate and always want to play and to please. My current springer is the biggest softie ever. I swear sometimes she thinks she is a cat. She will just sit on my lap and purr when I tickle her belly. I can confirm they love water. All of my springers as soon as they see any type of water whether that be a puddle or a lake they make a bee line towards it at full speed. Also when I go on hikes with friends and family they will run up and down the line of people making sure everybody is ok and together and no one is lagging behind. I digress I could talk all day about how fantastic they are

we just picked our first ESS this summer and my were we impressed with him as you said very clever! our babies recall, sit, lay down and heel was perfect within the first week of having him (7weeks old 🤯). Now 13 weeks and he's mastered fetch, roll over, place, shake a paw... Also so true about the non-stop gogo they have. First dog I've ever owned that we have to give forced "down time", not sure if anyone else has experienced this with this breed!? Any tips would be appreciated!

We used Aunty Mabel’s tin bath to wash our Springers down after walks etc. They soon got used to the commands Front legs, Back legs stepping into the bath.

My favorite dog.

Most beautiful dogs ever! Spring-Sprongs! Bestest always!

So true about Springers finding water. I once took my old Springer out for a walk, it had rained a few days before, he found a massive pot hole on a dirt road and proceeded to lay in it. All I could see was this head sticking out. Was funny but he didn't like it when he had to have a bath because of the dirt he was covered in.

I have a springer spaniel called Archie and a beagle called Tizzy. Archie is cheeky, energetic, Jumpy and EXTREMELY stupid! When we got Archie from a pup he had 2 other brothers who were really jumpy. Archie was lying down and wanting a fuss instead of jumping, so we got him in thinking he'd be a calm gentle dog. WE WERE WRONG. The next day he was hyper and up and about. Though he's stupid to an extreme amount he loves us and we love him! :D

I have two young springers and I LOVE them.......Sadly their zest for life and loopy playfulness is not always appreciated by other people and their dogs :( So we have had to train them a LOT......But because they're only 1 & 2 they can still be too crazy for the general public ! :D

I’ve got a springer named Louis and he’s about a year and a half old. We live in Bondi Beach in Australia and he is the most lovely yet stubborn dog I’ve had. However he’s lucky because he gets filthy and swims everyday. I couldn’t imagine them not around water

"hyper" seems to be the word! Very busy dogs.

How big of a backyard is necessary for a Field Springer? I walk several miles every night and am planning to take my new dog out on leash. I can do several daily training sessions in the house each day. Backyard as well but those would be more mental exercises than a lot of physical exercises. I've read I can't even take them on my full nightly walk -- because of the distance until they are 2 years old. Thoughts?

What? Backyard, bigger the better, but they're happy just to fetch a ball, even if you only throw it a few feet. They love to search. Hide a treat, and let them search for it. They just love that. They can walk as far as you, and LOVE to sniff all the way. They just love life and people. Best dogs on earth.

I have a 14 month springer which was bred to work but she is purely our pet, very loyal and affectionate, am I doing wrong by not working her? She does get lots of exercise, at least 2 x 1.5 hour walks daily and never wrecks our home so we must be doing something right?

We're not experts so can't really advise... Especially when individual dogs have their own tastes. But you might contact your breeder as they'll know what your dogs closest relatives do food wise?

I am sure a lot of people will say this but ours was the best Springer ever ('cept when he lived up to his nickname "stinky" and "dammit wheres my sock?". *little know fact about Springers is their bodies built around that tail so it can keep wagging non-stop.

Yep, this sounds exactly like my late springer, Tessa. Into everything, and with a tail that never stopped wagging right up into her elder years!

If you are getting one of these for a working dog look for a reputable breeder that docks their tails. They are known to break easily especially when they are flushing game and cause the dog pain and discomfort. On top of that you will have to pay vet bills to get their tail fixed and it is likely they will break it again.

My Ft springer spaniel Oscar is 14 months now, and when we goes to the dog park, he loves to run around and is always the fastest dog, havent met anyone else, who can keep up with him....😄 He also love to play with the other dogs, mostly breeds with the same high energy and age. When we are the only ones in the park, he gets very busy, running into the bushes, and bark. I think, his hunting instincts are taking over, and hes looking for birds. It can be a little to much, and I am worried he starts to behave the same way, at home, and bark and gets overexited , hunting the birds....He have already behaved that way a couple of times...... Whats the bedst solution for my dog, shall I stop him, before it might get worse...?

Also he loves water and his name is ci.

Wrong information, they are called Springers because the were bred to Spring game!

"they are called springers cos they spring up and down"? No they aren't. they are called springers because they spring game from long grass. how can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you don't even know the background of the breed
