English Springer Spaniel: Health Issues & Personality
English Springer Spaniel:
The English Springer Spaniel is considered the most robust of all the spaniels, and is thought to have the most pleasant disposition, too. It is quick to learn, obedient, easy to train, and eager to please. It enjoys the company of its family and is patient and affectionate with children (It is one of the top 10 most affectionate dogs).
