Why is it Spaniels always smell of dog? That means your house and you will also smell of dog...!
Cream carpets in every room
 im very house proud for a bloke lol.
You don't want a dog, and especialy not a springer then. They are grade A nut cases which can eat furniture in the time it takes to go and make
a cup of coffee!
We have a ~12 year old mutt, and to be honest I can hardly wait for the day he expires. Horrible thing to say I know as I normally love animals (and
had 2 cats and a beautiful English Collie before), but he is just a thoroughly unloveable dog, which unfortunately I inherited with the Mrs (she
doesn't like him much either, but he's an ex-scouse street dog which might explain things!).

I went to a greyhound trainers place a few years ago, one of the ones that looks after all of the dogs for Wimbledon. We went in at 'nap
time', and every single dog (a couple of dozen) was fast asleep, legs sticking up in the air. It was one of the oddest things I think I've
ever seen
As has been mentioned, don't under-estimate quite how much effort an active breed can take. We've got a Jack Russell, they're only a
kind of middle of the road breed, but you know when you haven't worn him out enough. Usually he'll jump up on you and get right in
your face, giving it the old 'I want to go out, shall we go out, have you been out? Let's go out, can we go out, I've got an idea,
fancy going out?' routine. Plan B generally follows soon after, such as this attempt to hurry up my tea drinking
 
Description
Wouldn't change him for the world though

Think of the donkey in Shrek - that'll give you some idea!
Someone brought a jack russell into the garden of my local pub one summer - it walked in all sensible while on the lead, then ran around the garden
full-speed in a big circle for a half-hour or so while the owners had a drink, then walked out all sensible on the lead again! Tons of character, but
you don't want to be around one when it's bored.

Ive been feeding my retriever on Dr John silver - big mistake. Food well cheap but vets bill due to bad skin was not. Now on decent food (im using
beta @ £22 a bag from wholesalers) and all is well again. Food last easily 4 weeks so quite cheap.
If you cost everything you probs wont get a dog. Insurance can be good idea to avoid hidden vets bills. Our local vet is also a hospital and does
there own specialist plan with various levels.
