With the rescue that has the dog. Today the spaniels on this page are with Friends of Birkenhead Kennels (1) and Greenleaf Animal Rescue (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

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.

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 1 of the 2 spaniels listed in Merseyside as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
