Buy a Springer Spaniel in the UK
When buying a Springer Spaniel, decide between working and show types as they differ significantly. Both parents should be tested for progressive retinal atrophy (cord1 PRA DNA test), phosphofructokinase deficiency (PFK DNA test), and have BVA hip scores and current eye certificates. Working Springers are leaner and more driven; show Springers are heavier-coated and calmer. Visit the breeder to assess the parents' temperament and energy levels. Reputable breeders will be members of a Springer Spaniel breed club and provide comprehensive health documentation.
