Almost TOO social with other dogs and people of all ages. This is something we work on daily
Being a field-bred Springer as opposed to show-stock, he's got a lot of energy....that needs letting out. Be prepared to walk at least a couple of miles a day (with him/her running and casting ahead of you) with this breed. Yes, there are exceptions but Springer Spaniels in general need lots of exercise and/or a job.
Virgil is still dragging what's commonly called a "check cord" which is a 20' length of lariat-type rope. It's our emergency brake for now. We'll gradually cut off 1' lengths as we (and he) get more control on his recall. He does good now, but could be better with recall and STOP!
