THE IDEAL DOG FOR DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES
Springers are family dogs. They need to be part of social team. They need to communicate with their pack. You can try a lot of activities with them. It is doesn´t matter what you will do with your dog but you have to do something. The springer should be a lazy dog for short time (during your working) but after this time they need something to do. Your dog will be your mirror...
PLAYING
The Spingers have not problem amoung other dogs. When they got good socialization they are troublefree friends for everybody. They like playing with other dogs and stay young a long time. It is very important if you live in city with huge density of dogs and children.
HUNTING
The Springers are gun dogs. A long period they were used only like huntings partners. But it is important to say that it is not necessary to do it with them. They need activity but why hunting? It is big cliché! But you must understand your dogs and you must offer them other variant of working (FlyBall, Agillity, Dog Dancing, Rescue Work, ...). But after my experiencies I know The Springers are so beautiful on the field - it is famous picture! Try it...
SHOWS
If the shows are hobby for you - do it! But if it is stress and it is boring for you - don´t do it. It is easy. The shows can take the ideas and they can bring famous time too. Try it and you will see. It should be a opportunity for meeting friends but it should be only fight too and it is not good. The titles speak nothing...
COURSING
I think along time that the coursing should be very good sport for gun dog. But we have tried first this year. And I was not misstaken. It is ideal for springers. The running, hunting, ... I saw a lot of enthusiasm around me in training day ... My Zaza is not typical sport lady but coursing is her passion...
THE THERAPY DOG
Dogs positively affect human health on the mental, physical and social part. The therapy is suitable as an additional psychotherapeutic method for the work with patients who have communication problems; it supports the abilities for feeling, thinking and moving.
