Looking for a Springer
Behavior is influenced by many factors, not only genetics but also training, family interactions, and general health. In every litter, there will be a range of different temperaments. One puppy will crawl out of the pen first to explore the world. One puppy will always wait and see what is going on before joining in on the activities. There is a good likelihood that these behaviours will also carry on through his life. It is a good idea to discuss what sort of lifestyle that you have, so that the breeder you are dealing with can recommend the best puppy for you. By matching up the right puppy with the right lifestyle, often times many problems can be avoided. Perhaps you are looking for a companion that will enjoy your busy lifestyle, your constant travel, and house full of children. The shy puppy watching from the back of the bunch may catch your eye because of its markings, but this puppy may not be the best choice for your lifestyle. Are you happy to take quiet walks and calmly go about your day? The most gregarious puppy in the litter may just be a little too outgoing and pushy for you to be happy with! The breeder has spent many, many hours watching the puppies interact, and will have an excellent idea of which puppy is best for you. Trust in their advice. It is very easy to fall in love with a puppy; let a good breeder help you to find the one that will suit you best.
NOTE: English Springer Spaniel puppies can be marked in a wide variety of ways, and in either liver and white, or black and white. It is more important to find the perfect temperament than the perfect markings! Keep an open mind with respect to colour and pattern when looking at a litter of puppies. You will fall in love with whichever one you bring home, no matter what it looks like!
In general, a puppy should be curious and playful, without resisting being held. He should not be aggressive or overly timid. Make every effort to ensure that your puppy comes from breeding stock with good, solid temperaments. Meet both parents and related dogs, if possible, and spend enough time with them to be comfortable with their personalities. Ask your breeder if he/she is aware of any temperament problems in your puppy's pedigree. As your puppy grows, nurture him with proper training. Often times, behaviour issues come about because a growing puppy is bored. Training helps them to exercise their brain, and this helps to prevent other potential problems. Puppy classes, obedience classes, trick training, field work, tracking, etc. – all of these things will provide stimulation and exercise for both you and your dog, while creating a special bond between you and creating a well-rounded pet. Neuter your puppy to minimize the effect that sex hormones have on undesirable behavior. If your puppy or dog exhibits signs of behavioral problems, notify the breeder immediately and seek the help of a qualified professional
