Best breed for outdoor families

We are a walking and camping family and our Springer is the perfect companion for our lifestyle. He has hiked mountains, swum in every river we have found, and crashed contentedly in tents and caravans without complaint. He adapts to any environment as long as we are with him. His joy at being outdoors is contagious and he has added an extra dimension of fun to every trip. Completely devoted and endlessly enthusiastic.
