I have a Springer and I LOVE it!! Several of my huskies have the breed's notorious recall abilities, or rather lack thereof. They can not ever be off leash, but they are huskies and they need to run full out alot. I can't keep up in the summer without the Springer. I regularly run my 100 pound ++ malamute on it with no problems. She can't chase squirrels, she can't attack other female dogs. The Springer has greatly increased the number of places I can safely take Kayleigh. I would highly recommend one!
