Because they're hunting dogs, English Springer Spaniels require a lot of exercise, but keep them on leash in unfenced areas or they may decide to go hunting on their own. ... English Springer Spaniels will bark if strangers come to your house, but if you're looking for a guard dog, keep looking.

While these dogs are one of the most alert breeds, Springer Spaniels are not all that prone to bark a lot. They were originally bred as hunting dogs, which means they were trained to flush and retrieve game, but they were also taught not to be vicious towards humans or other dogs, making them lovable and huggable.

These dogs are hardy and often live into their teens. English springer spaniels can be surprisingly good watchdogs, offering a loud alarm bark and at least some protectiveness.
