The Welsh Springer Spaniel is a medium-sized gundog breed known for its energetic and affectionate nature. Originally developed for hunting purposes, they excel in flushing out game from dense cover and working in various terrains. Characterized by their distinctive red and white coats, Welsh Springers are gentle yet lively companions. They are highly intelligent and eager to please, but can be headstrong at times. They are generally good with children and other pets, though they can be wary of strangers and require proper socialization. Regular exercise and mental stimulation are essential for keeping them happy and healthy.
