A bright, affectionate young Sprocker looking for his forever adventure

Charlie is a one-year-old, neutered Sprocker Spaniel who has all the ingredients to become an incredible companion in the right home.

Currently based in the Midlands, Charlie is looking for an experienced, active family who can offer him the time, training and lifestyle he needs to thrive. While he is currently located in the Midlands, we are happy to transport him to the right home, so please don’t let distance put you off enquiring.

Charlie is an exceptionally people-focused boy who absolutely loves being with his humans. Whether it’s learning something new, playing scent games or simply leaning in for a cuddle, he thrives on interaction and being part of the family. His assessment described him as an “extremely happy and loving boy” who enjoys fuss from everyone he meets and is comfortable being handled all over.

His current owner has worked incredibly hard to give him the very best start in life, and it shows.

Charlie already understands a range of cues including sit, down, wait, heel, watch me and leave. He has no food or toy guarding issues, loves scent work and interactive games, travels beautifully in the car and is fully house trained.

Like many young working spaniels, Charlie is bright, busy and full of enthusiasm. His current challenges centre around impulse control and becoming over-aroused by other dogs, wildlife and moving objects. Birds, squirrels, cats, cyclists, runners—and even blowing leaves—can all be incredibly exciting! He also pulls on the lead and will need an owner committed to continuing his positive, reward-based training.

Charlie’s owner has made the heartbreaking decision to seek a new home following an unexpected relationship breakdown. As a single parent working full-time while studying, she can no longer provide the level of exercise, enrichment and ongoing training that Charlie needs. This decision has been made entirely out of love and with Charlie’s future firmly in mind.

The home Charlie needs

Charlie is looking for an experienced, active home where his love of learning can continue to flourish.

His ideal family will:

  • Have previous experience of spaniels or other active working breeds.
  • Enjoy training and providing plenty of mental enrichment as well as physical exercise.
  • Be committed to continuing his positive reinforcement training.
  • Have the time to meet the needs of an energetic young dog.
  • Have older, dog-savvy children if there are children in the home.
  • Have no cats or small furry pets due to Charlie’s strong prey drive.

Charlie would love a home where he can enjoy activities such as scent work, hiking, gundog training or other enrichment-based hobbies that allow him to use his clever brain.
