English Springer Spaniels love everybody, and everybody loves them. They are humble enough to adapt to child’s play, but they are secure enough to be comfortable around strangers and other pets. They are wonderful playmates for children and greet most strangers with an open heart. However, they have great protective instincts and will definitely sound the alarm if they sense a threat.

Springers are people-orientated dogs. They need lots of attention, companionship and positive feedback to feel settled and centered. Left alone for too long, they can get bored and could start to dig up a garden, bark for no reason or chew on shoes.
