I have an english springer and gotta say he is one of the most adoring, loving dogs i have ever had, don't get me wrong sometimes you'd think he had ants in his pants and can't sit at peace for more than 5 seconds, but he is a gorgeous dog, who i know will be great with the baby!
He is just such a big suck! He can't just sit next to you, he has to sit on you, he just needs to have constant contact with you!!
