Friendly and versatile hunters, Welsh Springer Spaniels are equally at ease in hunting or lying at the feet of their beloved owner. Their flashy soft coats shed moderately and they are a sturdy medium sized dog. Needing plenty of daily romps and outings to unleash their high drive and endurance, Welsh Springer Spaniels thrive when chasing tennis balls hurled vigorously around safe, open, grassy spaces or joining their family at the beach. These athletic dogs are at their best when living with an active family that appreciates the loving devotion and fun loving breed.
