8. English Springer Spaniel
English Springer Spaniel is a loveable breed, very obedient and devoted to their owner and the entire family, but they request the same from you, as they don’t like to be left alone too much. Just devote him enough time and you’ll easily teach him anything you want. We didn’t find information about the English Springer Spaniel being used as a guide dog, but we have, however, found information about them being used as police dogs. Dogs can be used in the Police for different purposes – they can be used in law enforcement, as cadaver-sniffing dogs, as tracking dogs, and for illicit-substance detection. Some breeds are used in every category while some are used in one or maybe two. The English Springer Spaniel is used only for illicit-substance detection, as he has a very good sense of smell. Since he is not that strong, he can’t be used in law enforcement for example, but he is definitely very useful when it comes to sniffing and detecting anything illegal. We placed him in 8th place because we gave a slight advantage to dogs that can be trained as guide dogs, as we find this type of training more complicated. Also, there are breeds in top places that are used both as a guide dogs and police dogs. They are definitely the easiest dog breeds to train.
