Does anyone know anything about Welsh Springer Spaniels?  I've met some people who have them, and they look very interesting.  Less wired than the English version, and very attractive dogs.

I know someone who put a sprocker bitch to a welsh springer, pups turned out nice. They are a little smaller than the english springer although not sure about temperament. We did think about putting our 3/4 bred cocker 1/4 springer to a welsh springer although now am unsure about having pups from her.

Friend has just lost her 15-y-o Welsh Springer to cancer.  Lovely dog but made my two English look like the most chilled-out dogs on the planet!

Lol, I guess any generalisation has its exceptions.  I wonder how much of that is down to the owner and how much to breeding?  Perhaps you are a very chilled dog owner, and have less wired dogs...

I would say most Springers need lots of work and are best suited to active owners. They have busy minds and want to work. Locked in the house or kennel all day is not for them.
