How long do English Springer Spaniels usually live? I've got one that’s starting to slow down a bit and I’m worried.

I've noticed that my English Springer Spaniel has been slowing down a bit recently, and it's got me concerned about what might be going on with her. I've had her for quite a few years, and I'm starting to wonder about the typical lifespan of this breed. Can you tell me how long English Springer Spaniels usually live and if there's anything I should be aware of as she gets older?
