Thank you FloppsyLadySally. Of course some of the ratings do not match Bob, but that is because it is a general thing about the breeds, and as we all know our dogs all have their individual quirks! But it came pretty close for Bob and very close for in the case of three other Springers I know! :)
I just want to mention the ratings, how I read them and you can tell me if I am right or not.
***** would mean, say for grooming, exercise that sort of thing, that the dog needs a lot. Whereas * or ** would mean doesn`t need much. And with *** or **** being somewhere in-between?
Once again, thankyou for the information, it is very interesting.:)

Yeah, you're right. I know, some of it doesn't seem like Lady either. But it is just a general thign and all dogs are different and special in their own way.

Any more?? I had to bring this post up to the first page again.
