English Springer Spaniels are beautiful and full of life, and so it is easy to see why they are so popular. They are playful and devoted, with massive characters. However, their drive and neuroticism can make them a very challenging breed for the inexperienced owner, and anyone new to the breed should have a full awareness of what owning a Springer Spaniel entails.
