Behavioral Traits

Welsh Springer Spaniels are a very loyal breed of dog. They may appear shy around strangers at first, but they are generally friendly with all people. Welsh Springer Spaniels get along with adults and kids alike and are receptive to other pets. Their devotion to their adoptive families has earned them the nickname "Velcro" dogs.²
