Frequently Asked Questions
Do Welsh Springer Spaniels have a strong prey drive?
Welsh Springer Spaniels were bred as hunting dogs, so they may have a moderate to high prey drive. It's important to supervise them around smaller pets, such as cats or rabbits, and provide proper training to control their instincts.
Are Welsh Springer Spaniels good watchdogs?
Welsh Springer Spaniels are typically friendly and sociable rather than being guard dogs. While they may bark to alert their owners of strangers or unusual activities, they are more likely to greet intruders with a wagging tail than aggression.
Do Welsh Springer Spaniels bark a lot?
Welsh Springer Spaniels have a tendency to bark when they perceive a threat or when they are excited. However, with proper training and socialization, this behavior can be managed.
