Breed Name
English Springer Spaniel
Rank (out of 136 breeds)
012
Personality Snapshot
Most English Springers are great dogs for kids. Playful, gentle and energetic. A tail-wagger. Merry, brave and sweet. Best when with people as much as possible. Can get into trouble if left alone too long. Usually good with other pets with the possible exception of birds. Sometimes scrappy with same sex dogs. The English Springer breed has been experiencing a serious personality problem some individuals. An otherwise normal dog goes into sudden rage, viciously attacking people. During the attacks the dog does not respond to commands. This condition is generally not evident until the dog is one to two years old and any dog exhibiting this problem must be humanely euthanized. Check with breeders about history of "rage" in the lines.
