Mia

Mia is a young bundle of springer spaniel gorgeousness.

Mia has settled in well in her foster home and is already making great progress with her basic training. She already knows sit and come and her toilet training is going well and she’s learning to walk on a leash.

Like all puppies, Mia loves everyone and everything – she adores kids, is curious about cats but doesn’t chase them and she loves other dogs.

As a puppy, Mia’s relatively low energy at the moment but as she gets older she will require regular daily exercise to prevent her from becoming bored.

Mia’s carer is currently working on managing some separation anxiety in Mia. Given their affectionate natures and desire to be part of everything that is going on in their home, springer spaniels do have a tendency towards separation anxiety. Mia’s new family will need to be committed to continuing work on her independence so that she’s comfortable and confident when left alone. A friendly canine pal would be great at helping Mia cope when her people aren’t around.

With her long coat, Mia also requires regular grooming. Brushing a few times a week and as she gets older, some clipping of her coat will help maintain her lovely appearance.

We understand that Mia is a gorgeous puppy, but she is going to grow and her breed does require an experienced handler. She will not be suited to first-time dog owners, someone looking for a low-energy dog or anyone who has not previously worked with a gun-dog breed, working breed or dog with separation anxiety.
