Welsh Springer Spaniel
These dogs are happy, merry, little clowns who are totally addicted to people and will gladly walk, skip, and worship the ground you walk on from the day you get one until it is too old to do so, This is a breed that is happiest when a human is nearby and they do not do well left for long periods on their own.
The Welsh Springer is not related to the English Springer in any way. The Welsh Springer only has one colour and that is red and white. It has a very easy care coat, the feet need trimming and under the chin apart from that everything else is just a good brush, the coat is also excellent at self-cleaning and the dog can be muddy and when the mud dries the coat will brush up clean.
Some Welshies can be bird mad and enjoy chasing any bird that comes into their space, but they are not killers and wouldn’t know what to do with a bird if caught. Welshies really need a large garden to play in as they are more on the active side than the Show English Springer, but having said that they are also happy to sit with you and lounge about the house if that is what you are doing.
