It depends on the breed. The Royal Kennel Club lists the English Springer Spaniel as needing more than two hours a day and the Cocker Spaniel up to an hour a day. Dogs Trust calls both typically high-energy. Ask the rescue about this dog, as age, health and working background make a difference.

The Royal Kennel Club lists the Cocker as small and the English Springer as medium; the breed standards give a height of about 38 to 41 cm for a Cocker and about 51 cm for a Springer. The Springer needs more exercise and a larger garden, and the Cocker needs grooming more often. The Cocker was first bred to hunt woodcock, and the Springer got its name from "springing" forward to flush game.
