Springer behaviour, any ideas?

Hi guys

Having a problem lately with my 3 year old springer bitch. Every now and then when she is delivering a dummy or bird, she leans over and wees everywhere. She also did it the other day when there were a lot of us standing around chatting. Any ideas what might be wrong?

at the risk of sounding stupid. . . could she just be excited?

My Springer does this sometimes after collecting a tennis ball will run 4 or 5 times after the ball bring it back then squat to pee I think it's excitment but that's my little imput I dont think it's anything to worry about:)

Thought that myself but was a bit worried because she got a dart off an electric fence a while ago and thought it might be connected.

maybe ask a vet if you're concerned? you could ring them up and ask as i find that greatly reduces your chance of having to pay the robbing sods hahaha

Kinda the same thing but not?
My springer has a bit of a small wee , when I put his lead on just before I walk him, just a bit of excitement in them isnt it ?

One shot on kill

Sometimes it can be excitement and sometimes it can be nervesnous

Two of the bitches I have do it. It's pure excitement with most of them, it's almost always when delivering a retrieve tbh.

its very common in springers especially bitches. they squat and pee when excited or nervous so its not something to worry about
