Kinda calm for a Springer. Maybe a really old one?
Wish I could get a better look at it's body. It also reminds one of a German Longhaired Pointer. They are a much "calmer" breed than the Springer is.

Look again Cheri, I said German LONGHAIRED pointers, not shorthairs. I had a shorthair.
Not saying it is a longhair but both the Springer and the longhair have ears like that and the longhair is a MUCH calmer breed.

It's hard to tell without a better look at the body. Lot's of dogs have ears like that.
Whoa. I see the Springer Spaniel too! We've had Jack Russell Terriers for the past 13 years. Searching for Springer Spaniel's.....
Don't think you can get a Springer and have it act like that. They are working dogs, bred to hunt. They need TONS, and I mean TONS, of exercise. They get "hyper" if not run a half a zillion miles a week. They are most calm and happy when being used for what they are bred for, hunting birds.
IF that is a real video, and it is a Springer, it is likely an older dog and extremely well trained. They are not like that out of the box. They are GREAT dogs and wonderful hunters, they are not easy dogs.
I hunt over many breeds of bird dogs. Springers, shorthairs, griffens, brittneys, etc. The longhairs and the shorthairs are the easiest to deal with. They are bred to please an owner. They live for it. ALL working dogs require the miles to keep them happy.

Well done!
I will read it when I return from the DR. Time for an oil and lube job.
I looked at it. A working dog is a happy dog. That dog has a purpose. It also gets to RUN!
People are kind of the same way. Without a purpose they get "Cranky" and "restless". People need to "RUN" too.
