English Springer Spaniels get along well with strangers and other pets. They're friendly dogs that are eager to please. Some Springers develop odd phobias such as a fear of hats or mustaches. English Springer Spaniels are sporting dogs. In general, sporting dogs are active and alert and require daily exercise. Because they have superior instincts in the water and woods, sporting dogs are often used for hunting. If exercised and properly trained, most sporting dogs make excellent pets. However, some of these dogs like to bark and whine a lot, so they're not suited for apartment life.
