All dogs are considered loyal, that’s why we call them dogs, man’s best friend. Still, some breeds are much more loyal to their owners and more intelligent too. One such breed is the English Springer Spaniel, and their owners really can’t say enough good things about them. They are loyal, great with children, intelligent, obedient, and perhaps the best dog one could own.

Instead of taking my word for it, maybe you’d like to hear what the experts have to say? If so, let me recommend not only this breed, but also a very good book to help you see this point. The book is:

“How to Raise and Train an English Springer Spaniel” by Robert Gannon; TFH Publications, Inc. 1961. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number; 61-10402.

This book is small, but extremely complete, as it explains the history of the breed, which you will find quite fascinating, right down to how to care for your English Springer Spaniel. These dogs have unique characteristics and command a high price for a purebred. And if you like to show dogs, there’s a great section on that too.

These dogs not only love children, but children also love them because they are so cuddly. Puppies can be a handful, they are high energy and prone to getting into trouble, but with proper obedience training they do just fine. Fortunately, there is a whole chapter in this book on that as well. I sincerely hope you love your Spaniel as much as the others, and I hope you care for her beloved dog as much as the author seems to care for his. Think about this.
