With the rescue that has the dog. Today the spaniels on this page are with All Dogs Matter (1), Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre (1), Last Chance Animal Rescue (1), Stokenchurch Dog Rescue (1) and Wallace Kennels Dog Rescue (1).

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. Most of the 5 spaniels listed in and around Watford today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

If you searched "spaniel puppies for sale Watford", the spaniels here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

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.
