I love everything about our springer spaniel, I think she's perfect and I thank my lucky stars every day that we chose her from the litter.
One of the things I marvel at is how utterly calm, reliable and sensible she is in any circumstance. Even for a springer of only a year old. She's so adaptable that as long as she's with one of her favourite people she's happy. And it makes our lives so easy as she's a delight wherever we take her.
We've taken her everywhere with us - large crowds, busy traffic, an air show with really loud displays, beach, shops, firework night (in the garden, she came out voluntarily and watched with interest! ), strange houses, farms, school, everywhere.
Nothing throws her, she's totally bomb proof with everything, just a laid back alert interest in all the goings on, perfect behaviour and a constant tail wag. She's an absolute gem of a dog.
