How much physical exercise does your springer get?
How much physical exercise does your springer get? Including lead walking and off lead walking.

Dan Pringle gets 3hrs +, I take him out twice a day, usually about 2 hrs in the morning and about 1 and a half at night, plus he's usually running around the garden all day, which by the way he's ruined it, just cost me a pretty packet to Pringle proof it :lol:

Don't know which to go for - Summer 3 hrs + :D , but winter 2-3 hrs :(
In the winter, Benji & I drive half way, park car & walk to work, then back at lunchtime to get the car, 'cause it's dark when I finish work. But in the summer, we cycle from home, ( I cycle, Benji runs :lol: ) a slightly longer route, to avoid roads, then home again in the evening. Also, Benji's free all day to pester anyone he can find for ball throws :wink:
He really hates it when it rains :cry: Just lies in the porch to my office, watching the world go by :(

PS. :D :D He's very happy today. I'm watching him from my window. He's found two engineers, working at the rear of the barn next door. For 1 1/2 hours now he's been taking the ball back to them :lol: and they just keep throwing it :D :D

Interesting to see that some springers here get so much exercise.

My three get little more then an hour a day, free running, they do how ever get about 2 hours on to of that training, and just before the season starts exercise is built up to help their stamina.

I'm think exercising a springers mind is as important if not important then exercising their bodies.

I agree with you about exercising springers minds. I would love to have the time to do proper obedience training, but we just do things whilst walking, and benji has those puzzle toys, like a bird house with holes in, with little squeaky birds inside. He can get them out no problem, but i'm struggling with teaching him how to put them back in :D :D
