Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Low

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy

Moderate

Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.

Trainability

Moderate to very high

The Pit Bull rates moderate and the Springer Spaniel very high; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Low

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

The Pit Bull is usually described as confident, smart, good-natured. The Springer Spaniel as friendly, playful, obedient. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
