Thgat's just to dumb to reply to but I will:

I have had at least one Springer living in my house for 25 years, a total of four.

In those 25 years I have made one trip to the vet other than normal checkups. Had one that lived to be 20 years old.

I have never had anyone of them turn over or get in the garbage.

My youngest Springer gnawed the corner of an ottoman. That is the only household damage any have done and none have ever
spent a night outside.

The longest house breaking period was one week.

I can count on my fingers the number of times all of them have
woke me up during the night.

I have never had anyone of them roam or go near the highway
or street.

They've all been around kids all their life, never had one even
growl at a kid.

Tell me about your canine genius.

A springer spaniel ate my house! No kidding! He was so spoiled I even had a kiddie wading pool full of water on the deck for him to dip into on a hot day, but he still insisted he liked the rungs on my Duncan Phyfe chairs, and even the woodwork, let along the wicker porch furniture. I even tried spraying everything with tabasco sauce, but he even liked that! Then he started in on the siding. I don't have that springer spaniel anymore.
