Any experts on springer spaniels?

I'm curious. My friend has had two springers. The first was 10 when she got her so perhaps a bit old to play, but the new one is only 2 years old. Bennie loves playing with other dogs, but she just wasn't interested despite being in perpetual motion. Then I thought about other springers I've met on dog walks and I don't recall ever seeing them playing with other dogs.

Are springers naturally antisocial with other dogs?

I personally know nothing about springers, but have seen them in play mode.
At 2 years old, it could be as simple as the dog doesn't know how to play?
Our Rollie was exactly like that when we first got him - he'd never learned how to play. He's going on 10 now, and is still a bit reserved at times. But when he's in the mood, watch out!

We see a springer every morning always in full on play mode, complete nutcase I think he is about 3 now. Our late Duncan (yorkie) came to us at 8 months and didn't know how to play, toys were a mystery. TBH he never really learned to play really was quite a serious little lad, toys were not his thing at all and we know he loved Molliepops but he never played with her despite her trying.
