    Thank you, only someone who has springers know there are no words to describe the love and affection a springer can give. I have 5 and each has their own distinct personality.

    My second Springer is 5 now, and he's an absolute Mama's boy. My first one was a female and when she passed, I was devastated. Took me 17 years to get another dog. What a breed. My boy loves to dig, but what he really loves is slobbering water from the water bowl all over the place! Just fantastic dogs. The best.

      We are in the same boat, we lost our Rosie 17 years ago. Just picked up our Lola last week and love is happening once again. Very smart and very needy to,but that’s all right with me.

    I have a 3 yr old male Springer named Winston. We live in the city so the dog park is a daily routine. Everyone knows my Winnie! They call him the “Shadow Dancer”. Loves to track birds in the trees by watching their shadows on the ground. He darts about, pivots and pounces putting on quite a show! Tails always wagging. Tears off after the birds when they fly away. Repeats over and over. He’s hilarious but oh is he beautiful to behold!! The most handsome dog I’ve ever seen! ❤

      Great to hear your enjoying life with a springer. Start training with a tennis ball it will help to occupy his mind.
      Thanks for the comment.

    I grew up in countryside Ireland and don't think I ever saw a clean springer spaniel, always covered in mud and up to some mischief! Your dogs are beautiful!

    I miss my Springer, I lost him just barely over a year ago! He took my heart with him when he went!

      Hi, very sorry to hear that you lost your boy. Owning a dog which has become such a close partner is always a difficult time. Hopefully you have many wonderful memories of the two of you. I have had many dogs in my lifetime and loosing them is never easy, but the memories make up for the loss.
      Stay strong.

    We had a springer when I was very young, I thought he was the cutest and funniest dog ever.

    I know all of those moves. All three of mine do the exact same things. What I love most about this breed is their tail... it never stops wagging..

  • @thepansthisthatandtheother7766

    Loved it and can relate. Smart dogs and so affectionate!!! Have subscribed and can't wait to show hubby later on.

    I loved my springer she was an excellent family dog not to mention a hunting machine who always gave it her all. I’d go out to the field and she would wait for my command “go kill for me” and then it was off to the races.

    I love Springers . Indie is my her, She's 2 in March. Unfortunately with work we've only made it out once this year. I got a nice Mallard drake it was her first retrieve , not great but we got there in the end. Great videos

    I love Springers. Of course I had the tail docked, and her lips. If I may be so bold as to inform you that Tells tail is docked too short sir. Tells tail is about quarter length - it should be half.
    I share this info with respect. Many thanks, Dave

    You are exactly the same Rural Great Island Home Guard. Armed and Dangerous. But we have a problem with Australians here since 1962.. when it was sold to Canberra by Lord Spencer on behalf of the Queen Mum

  • @notinselfies9369
    @notinselfies9369 Před 9 měsíci

    Some would view this video as a warning. They are work like smart creative children but massively trainable. Which is exactly why I love them so. I have had many kinds of dogs but the most relational by far are my Springers. I love my children even when they have muddy boots.

    • @workingspringerguernsey4961
      @workingspringerguernsey4961  Před 9 měsíci

      Hi, I really can't see that anyone would consider this video to be a warning to owning a springer. All I was showing was Tilly just being Tilly. She is a wonderful dog and family pet.

    Do springer spaniel pups ever stop being annoying? Don’t want anyone to take offence to the word annoying but…I have a 6 nearly 7month old springer and she won’t stop drinking dirty road side water no matter what - she always has clean water available and I can’t get her to stop! I’m worried she might get really sick

    • @workingspringerguernsey4961
      @workingspringerguernsey4961  Před rokem +1

      Hi Sophia, very sorry to hear of your problems. I think that the best option is to return to lead work. Keep her on a short lead and keep her head up.
      Once you are walking nicely at heel with a nice loose lead if she tries to drop her head to drink dirty water give a tug on the lead and tell her to " leave it ". This may take a few goes to brake the habit but don't despair.

  • @simonpage6549
    @simonpage6549 Před 10 měsíci

    Do springers really need the crazy amounts of exercise i keep hearing? Would a run in the park plus a good road walk be enough during the week?

    • @notinselfies9369
      @notinselfies9369 Před 9 měsíci +2

      The good run & a walk in the park would be enough plus hanging out close to the family.

    • @simonpage6549
      @simonpage6549 Před 9 měsíci

      @notinselfies9369 Thanks!...also, is their recall ok? I often hear that they won't come back when called? Lastly , are they calm in the house?
      Thank you

    • @robertstrong6317
      @robertstrong6317 Před 5 měsíci

      My one would run for a mile into the forest and be completely hidden the entire walk but she always came back somehow lol

    • @robertstrong6317
      @robertstrong6317 Před 5 měsíci

      Took her about ten years to be the perfect behaved dog but then she wasn't really trained properly 😭😭

    • @lornam4596
      @lornam4596 Před 5 měsíci

      ​@@simonpage6549Mine is 15 weeks and the few times I've dropped the lead he comes straight back. Very clingy dogs so shouldn't run off.

    why tail dock?

    • @workingspringerguernsey4961
      @workingspringerguernsey4961  Před 9 měsíci +2

      These are working Springers and it is done to save the dog from serious injury when in the field. Believe me I have seen a springer get caught up by its tail, the poor dog was howling like a banshee and was covered in blood. Pup's are docked at around 1day old and experience no pain or distress.

    Have you done any waterfowl hunting with your springer?

    • @workingspringerguernsey4961
      @workingspringerguernsey4961  Před 10 měsíci

      Hi, no....we can't shoot around the coast line. We live on Guernsey a small island so not possible for wild fowling. Would love to have a go though with Tilly.

  • @nosmallo
    @nosmallo Před rokem

    Complete nut job dogs. I have 7 working springers and a Patterdale Terrier. Sadly 2 of my dogs are retired from working (although they'd say otherwise as they're still raring to go). Most of them are nosy buggers who want to know what you are doing and like to "help". They crack me up and I wouldn't have any other breed for working.

    • @workingspringerguernsey4961
      @workingspringerguernsey4961  Před rokem

      Hi Alexandre, many thanks for your comment. Springers are great all round working dogs 🐕. I can't begin to believe what it must be like to have 7 Springers and your Patterdale.
      Thanks for watching my videos.
