Awesome vid - I've known Patrick and his spaniels for almost 20 years now and he is definitely the most caring and passionate dog owner/trainer I know!
I just got one as a house pet. Hunted springers with my dad since I was 10. They really are such a great breed. Our first one got hit by a car it was the only time I saw my dad cry. He cried like a little kid. Got a puppy like a day later and they're the only breed we've had since.
I’ve had a lot of dogs, mugs and hunting and working dog/ shepherds. So far our Springer is doing very well. She’s only 4 months old, but I can tell 5his breed has a lot to offer. Easy to train, aims to please.
Great Vid,love the Springers.Ours are family dogs,lost our great girl recently,after 12 1/2 yrs,still have a twelve month old.😍She looks very similar to your 'Honey'
think its lovely to see them do wot they do best my youngist cocker caught a bird ....was soo suprised the bird was unharmed an i retrived the bird an let it loose ...it all comes soo natural to them amazing breed i would never have any other breed now love my cockers but do need exsercise an trainning
Am very interested to see this video. We have Springers in the UK. My brothers lives in Australia but we are always saying our dogs wouldn't last a day in Australia because they would find too many snakes!
Other than training, when I pick cool mornings and evenings I don't work the dogs during the summer months......it would be very unusual to find a snake during the winter months which is our hunting season.
Wow your dogs are gorgeous! 4000AUD is around 2600USD. That seems really high! One of our springer's dad was on the cover of Field and Stream twice and he was only 2000USD. (though that was the year 2000) My 16month old I have now was 1400USD which I thought was cheap but she is turning into one of the best springers I've ever owned! All the papers too!
I have very limited experience with Brittany Spaniels, but if you contact your local Working Gundog Association I’m sure someone will be able to assist
Great to see your dogs don’t have there tails docked, as breeders in the US seem to have them docked. Also, the heads on your dogs don’t seem as “blocky” as the English Spaniels in the US. I much prefer the look of your dogs. Finally, have you ever had experience with Welsh Springer Spaniels? Would appreciate reading your thoughts on Welsh versus English. Wonderful video - you clearly love your dogs! Thank you.
Really dpends on the area you hunt - If there's thick brush or briars they're better off with docked tails If it's open and clean meadows the tail doesn't get in trouble.
The reason their tails are docked is to prevent them getting damaged and causing the dog pain during hunting in thick bushes which is usually what springers in the UK do.
Snooza Pet Products; I always carry a couple in my truck when I'm away hunting.....great for when the dogs come out of the duck swap or it's been a wet day in the field.
If I was predominately hunting geese I would have Labrador every day of the week, but in South Australia the largest waterfowl we hunt are Mountain Duck which a Working Springer will handle all day.
I was surprised at $4k for a Working ESS in Adelaide as our Show ESS was only $1.5K. She is a delightful kind dog, but surprising lazy and gets pushed around by our male Cocker. For $4K I would expect an ESS have to have very good hunting or show potential. I should note that a cross-breed designer dog such as a Cavoodle may cost up to $6K here. Only our Cavoodle retrieves from water as well as your dogs. The Cocker jumps in and pulls out the item but doesn’t return it. The Springer stays on the bank and barks.
I think that is fair price especially if the breeder is fully health testing all his dogs, which includes genetic health testing, hips and elbows. All my pups also have their eyes tested for Multifocal Retinal Dysplasia (MRD). In Australia there is a relatively small pool of Working Springers so the importance of health testing is very important. I've had 14 litters over the last 30 years and never had anyone complain about the price of a pup ..... most important is the pup goes to a good home!
Lovely dogs. don’t think you have to shoot things to have them. They are great family dogs it was said they are very trainable. True that. I hate when working dogs get stereotyped into one thing kind of like the Malinois like it’s only a protection or herding dog and that’s all I can do. I say bullshit.
Exactly. A Springer can be a police dog, therapy dog, service dog ,obedience champ or just the best companion ever!! Also search and rescue, scent discrimination etc
@@randystern7870 I agree the Working Springer Spaniel is a very versatile breed, the stockyard for all these uses has always been from working kennels as these are the breeders that select for the desirable traits that are so valuable in all the above mentioned fields.
So what happens to these breeds if there is no hunting? Do they disappear or become show ponies and lap dogs (nothing wrong with that if it's what you want). These are working dogs and what will become of them as a breed? They are training us as much as we train them, that will disappear and we will be so much poorer for that.
Hunting for a springer can be as simple as using your nose to find and retrieve something, find a bumper or toy tossed into tall grass or forest, floating bumper in a creek, etc.
4000 dollar's. Christ thats madness for a pup. No wonder puppy farms blew up everywhere in the last few years. I just bought a registered pup from good hunting stock in ireland for €450.
Had springers as a kid, helped dad out on beats etc. Finally getting my own this weekend hopefully. Can't wait.
Springer's Rule!
Cocker spaniels as well, great gundogs.
gorgeous Springers so good to see happy dogs working
Your Springer's are beautiful. They are clearly very well trained. A tip of my cap Sir.

Amazing creatures, I have three of them I won’t be without them being me so much joy🐶👏

Wow, goose bumps.....my springer spaniel of 16 month is called Hazel
Absolutely fantastic. What a great owner. I love those springers. They look an amazing working companion. 😊

Congratulations Patrick. A superb showcase for our Springers. Looking forward to catching up soon. Best wishes.
I really enjoyed watching your dogs work. Thank you.
your passion ... adorable!
Great video, My first springer just turned 1 a few months ago and he is a great dog. He loves to hunt and get spoiled.
Ce sont des chiens exceptionnels, très très beau les vôtres Félicitations Monsieur
That was a great vid to watch, great dogs and great trainer :)
Great Vid,love the Springers.Ours are family dogs,lost our great girl recently,after 12 1/2 yrs,still have a twelve month old.😍She looks very similar to your 'Honey'
Excellent advise on training, my 6 YO ESS is so much fun. I'd love to get another.
Great video
Look at all those good boys 😍😍
Beautiful dogs. So intelligent so fun!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Our last springer was one hell of a huntres.
Bonny is similar colours to Roxy, Roxy has more white on ears
Could you please ask Patrick to make another Springer Spaniel video? This one was awesome!
beautyful dogs
Awsome, I have a 1 year old female springer, and I really want to train her, but she just wants to play!😂
Great stuff! I don't hunt but I've got a Springer, only dog for me.
Can't go wrong a great companion

On the seventh day God created the Springer Spaniel !
Bloody gorgeous
How big need the car bench be for an English springer ?

hi.my daughter have puppy English C.S. she loves hunting. swimming. running. jumping. .is there place use for hunting my puppy.so fast. smart.
Non capisco l'inglese ma lo springer spaniel mi piace.
Great video .I myself am looking into getting a brittany spaniel for hunting any suggestions on books to read or videos to watch
My advice? Get a working Springer! 😊

I’ve not had any experience with Welsh Springers, though they look very handsome dogs.
We have 3 springers and unfortunately the ones which don't have their tails docked cut them up when hunting
Really dpends on the area you hunt - If there's thick brush or briars they're better off with docked tails
If it's open and clean meadows the tail doesn't get in trouble.
@@Nil-tz6gy appreciate your response. I’m really looking at a Welsh Springer Spaniel as a pet, rather than as a hunting dog.
The reason their tails are docked is to prevent them getting damaged and causing the dog pain during hunting in thick bushes which is usually what springers in the UK do.
Any tips on keeping their ears and hearing healthy, especially if they like to swim at every chance?
Keep them clean and dry especially if they've been in dirty water, something like Otoflush is really good.
@@PatrickTorrensthank you. I'll look into it.
Why do you allow the dogs jump up to you ?
Really nice dogs and interessting video, but why do you accept the dogs to jump up = extremely dirty trousers?
I love that drying towel!!! Where can I get that??
Snooza Pet Products; I always carry a couple in my truck when I'm away hunting.....great for when the dogs come out of the duck swap or it's been a wet day in the field.
@@PatrickTorrens Thank you! Excellent video!
How do you think an older springer would do with a younger one?
Excellent. Awell bred Springer will be awsome under all circumstances
Nice video. I have 3 springer spaniels. They are wonderful dogs. Do you have your own channel?
No
@@PatrickTorrenstoo bad, your experience would be great to learn from.
Bọn trẻ thật đáng yêu, tôi ao ước có được 1 bé nhưng điều này là không thể vì mình ở quá xa nhau
Where are you based?
Moving over from England start of next year, bringing my springer over I thought her hunting downs were Over!
South Australia. Good spaniel country also in NSW, Victoria and Tasmania
@@PatrickTorrens thanks for the reply mate, I’m moving to Queensland, is there any groups there that you know of that go out on shoots?
Cheers
@@s.g6353 Not that I know of ..... a bit warm fort hunt springers up there!
No entiendo nada de lo que dice y realmente me gustaría saber todo sobre los spaniels.😢😢
Sorry..but my Spanish is non-existent.
Got 2 myself they get lots of attention
And that's d best thing they love attention and give back so much joy to see a happy dog
Can it pick up a big honker goose for hunting they are so small
If I was predominately hunting geese I would have Labrador every day of the week, but in South Australia the largest waterfowl we hunt are Mountain Duck which a Working Springer will handle all day.
Geese, yes. Absolutely
Mine have

Spaniels in general are a very loveable breed of dogs friendly and mad for fun
We should make that breed big for bringing game bigger
Should be left alone amd kept the traditional way
So what happens to these breeds if there is no hunting? Do they disappear or become show ponies and lap dogs (nothing wrong with that if it's what you want). These are working dogs and what will become of them as a breed? They are training us as much as we train them, that will disappear and we will be so much poorer for that.
Why would people stop using these dogs to hunt?

That's about £2000 or E2200. Seems pretty reasonable to me for a top quality lineage. But different markets - different prices.
You'd pay the same for a good registered proven bloodline in the UK
Looks like there a cross. There not pure English. There is some Welsh in there due to the ginger in the ear feathers.
Definitely Working English Springer Spaniels!
