Hi all,
I'm still on the hunt for my perfect dog (I had posted a dog breed advice thread a while ago and got a fantastic response and tons of suggestions )...
However on my search I've inadvertently stumbled across a local litter of Welsh Springer Spaniels (all from a very established and respected breeder). On paper this breed seems to fit the bill almost perfectly (apart from the shedding potential - but i think i can overlook that!) but when I google the breed i get a very mixed idea of them - some people call them "untrainable", "crazy", "nervous/timid", and I've even read that they can "leak pee when excited". This seems miles away from the active, intelligent, calm (for a springer), caring, working dog in the breed profiles.
Before i decide to go and see the puppies and meet the breeder i just wanted to gauge a few experiences of the breed to see what the real story is! (I obvs could ask the breeder but want to have a slightly clearer idea before I take this any further)
Anyone have one or know one....?
