During college, I lived for a couple years with a woman who bred and showed
English Springer Spaniels, and they're a very nice medium/smallish large
dog. You have to really watch the breeding, as they have been overbred some
and have had problems with rage and hip dysplastia. Howevever, if you're
buying from a long-time, reputable breeder, you hopefully should have no
problem. Or, if you get a shelter dog of mixed breed, you might want to
look for one with some springer spaniel in it. They are wonderful,
intelligent, loving animals.
