Common Welsh Springer Spaniel health concerns
Breed-associated conditions worth asking any rescue about before you adopt. A rescue dog's parents may not have been health tested, so ask the rescue what vet checks the dog has had.
Inherited eye conditions
The Royal Kennel Club asks Welsh Springer Spaniel breeders to have their dogs eye tested under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme, including gonioscopy for PLA before breeding.

Ask the rescue whether it knows of any test results for the dog or its parents. Source: The Royal Kennel Club: Welsh Springer Spaniel.
How much does it cost to adopt a Welsh Springer Spaniel in the UK?
Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.
Are there Welsh Springer Spaniel puppies for sale in the UK?
No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Welsh Springer Spaniel on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, and Dogs Trust £300. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "welsh springer spaniel puppies for sale", the Welsh Springer Spaniels here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price.
Where can I buy a Welsh Springer Spaniel, and should I?
Not here: we only list dogs with rescues, so every Welsh Springer Spaniel on this page is adopted for the rescue's fee, which usually covers vet work already done. Whether to buy is your choice. Adopting means the rescue can tell you what it knows about the dog's history and health before you apply. If you decide to buy, Dogs Trust's breed guides suggest talking to your vet first: they say some practices offer pre-purchase consultations on likely health conditions and rough costs.
Can I get a free Welsh Springer Spaniel to a good home in the UK, or one under £500?
Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Many rescue fees are under £500: Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
Are there Welsh Springer Spaniel puppies for adoption in the UK?
Not right now: no Welsh Springer Spaniels are listed in the UK today, so there are no puppies either. Puppies do get listed, and rescues can tell you much more about an adult's character, so check back.
