Golden Retreiver
The Golden Retreiver is an intelligent, well-mannered breed with a charming, affectionate personality.  Because of their patience and gentleness, they are outstanding with children.  They are loyal, self assured, and they constantly aim to please.  They make terrific family companions.  They get along with everyone, including strangers, and they have very few natural guarding instincts.  While they won't attack an intruder, they will bark loudly if they detect a threat.  The breed needs to be in the company of people in order to be happy.  If left alone for extended periods of time, they may become mischievous or distructable.  Golden Retreivers also love to swim.  Their webbed toes make it easy to swim. 
The vast majority of Spring Spaniels are calm, even-tempered and gentle.  They are sociable, outstanding with children, and intelligent.  They are playful, quick to learn, and they are obedient and responsive to commands.  They are courageous and cheerful, and they love to wag their tails.  This breed generally loves everyone, and they are happiest when they are spending the majority of time in the company of people.  If neglected or confined, this breed can become bored and mischievious.  Because they love the water so much, they enjoy getting wet and muddy.  With the exception of birds, the English Springer Spaniel is usually good with other dogs and animals.  They are sometimes aggressive to other dogs of the same sex.  As with other popular breeds, subleties in temperment will vary from specimen to specimen.

Highly recommend Spangolds and Kristi to everyone looking for a fantastic dog!" Lauren, Vancouver, BC
"Her nickname is Gracie Lou Freebush or Punky.  She weighs 55 lbs.  As you can see, she loves any kind of ball.  I think swimming is one of her favourite things.  Her first time at the beach and she was in link she was a pro.  We love her quirkiness.  A little head shake indicating that she is waiting and her down is always done with the most awkward moves.  She's been a great addition to our house and she is living her best life!"
