Donald is a beautiful Sprocker. His coat is almost black, but he has dark brown through it. Very smart and responds to commands very well. He is fantastic in the house. Will wait to be asked if allowed on sofa. He is an affectionate dog and likes to sleep on top of you. He also likes his bed and will happily sleep there too. He loves his walks and is very excited to go out. He does not like other dogs. Reactive to other dogs up close. He is fine at a distance or across a road. He is a friendly loyal dog. He is a country dog, excellent at fetching things and running are favourite pastimes and great for training. Overall, a wonderful dog for the right family.Energy Requirements: He is an energetic boy. He has a morning walk for about 30 mins and then a longer afternoon walk and a late evening walk. He is reasonably good on the lead, but pulls a little. Secure dog fields are great for him, and he enjoys his visits. He is happy to be left for short periods in the home.Training: He is excellent with his training and responds well. He already had a great foundation. He will wait to be told for food and also waits before coming in house before owner. He walks really well to heel off lead when practised in a secure field. Recall is good in a secure field. He does however like to hunt and chase rabbits. With his reactivity to dogs, he is best off lead only in secure dog fields or safe areas. He is ball obsessed, but has been enjoying the agility courses at the secure dog fields instead of ball time.Visiting the vet: He was quite nervous at the vet’s, however let the vet check him over. No aggressive behaviour at the vets, just nervous.Travelling: At the moment he travels on the back seat of the car clipped in. He travels well, whinges a little as he is excited.

No issues or barking. He has a final evening walk at about 11 am and will sleep happily till 7am. Behavioural issues: Donald is reactive to other dogs. When he sees another dog while on lead, he looks like he is excited to see them. He doesn’t bark or growl, but when closer he will be more aggressive. Overall, it is manageable for someone who is a confident dog owner. Awareness of surroundings and communication with other dog owners makes walks easier. He is excellent in the home. No behavioural issues at all. No aggression ever to humans.Home needs: Donald will need an active home, with someone very experienced with the breed, and around most of the time who can continue his training and offer him interesting but quiet walking opportunities. Someone who is confident to handle him if issues arise when walking. This involves distracting him and avoiding other dogs as much as possible. He would benefit from a secure garden for play in and for training between walks. He would be best as the only dog in the home, although he has lived with other dogs and if introduced slowly this might be an option. Ongoing support: Springer Rescue for Scotland will be available for any support with your new dog and can offer behavioural support in case of any problems that may arise on adopting a dog.Please do not express interest in Donald if you are going on holiday in the next 4-6 weeks.If you have been home-checked or approved by email then please complete the interest form below.If you haven’t applied yet but think I’m your perfect companion, please complete an application on the website and then submit the form below.

He forms strong bonds with his people and is happiest right by your side – whether that’s following you around the house or curling up for a cuddle on the sofa (personal space doesn’t exist in Gunner’s world!).He’s also a clever boy who is already picking up basic commands and is very motivated by food and toys, making further training both fun and rewarding. When he gets excited, he can be a little jumpy (think coiled spring), this is something that has come on leaps and bounds and will continue to improve with guidance and consistency.Home Life: Gunner is house trained, although he can still have the occasional “excited pee/ puppy sprinkles” (easy to manage once you know his triggers). He settles well into a routine and is happy to sleep in his crate at night, currently in the bedroom. Given the chance, he would very happily upgrade himself to the bed!He can be left alone for short periods and is comfortable in his crate. Gunner currently enjoys three walks a day and has lots of energy, though due to his past he is best suited to shorter, more frequent walks rather than long distances.On the lead, he can be enthusiastic and may pull as he’s keen to explore, so he will benefit from ongoing, gentle training. He hasn’t been walked off lead yet, so this will need to be introduced gradually over time. He travels well in the car, although he can be a little nervous, and may also be slightly unsure at the vet initially but settles quickly.Getting Along With Others: Gunner is great with people and enjoys meeting new faces. He’s generally good with other dogs, although he can be a little nervous around larger dogs and a bit bouncy when greeting, so calm introductions will help him build confidence.He is currently living with a dog-savvy cat and shows curiosity more than anything else. He will sniff and engage, but respects boundaries when corrected.Gunner is good with older children, however due to his excitable and jumpy nature, he would not be suited to a home with younger children.Health Issues: Gunner has had a difficult start in life, he came into foster in June 2025, at the age of 7 months. He has since undergone four surgeries for a leg condition (HIF). Despite this, he has shown incredible resilience and now has full mobility – he truly is a little fighter with a huge heart. Due to his condition, frequent shorter walks are recommended, rather than long, arduous hill climbs.Home Needs: He would thrive in a calm, loving home with a patient owner who can continue his training and help build his confidence. A home with minimal or no stairs would be ideal, along with older children only, and preferably the only dog.Gunner is a very special boy who will give so much love to the right home. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a big personality and an inspiring story, Gunner could be your perfect match.Ongoing support: Springer Rescue for Scotland will be available for any support with your new dog and can offer behavioural support in case of any problems that may arise on adopting a dog.
