yup. defoo want a springer now!
lovely looking little brutus
when he is old and strong enough i intend to take him on a few rides out!! hopefully he wont snap at my front wheel constantly like my old beardie used too !!!
Name?
Lovely looking dog there! What are his lines? He looks a bit Badgercourt...
The kids chose his name.........Oakley !!!
not sure of his lines to be honest, he comes from a good one though as his father and grandfather were both field trial champs several years running!!

Youv've got 3 chances, ketamine, chloroform and none.
Our's is supposedly an ex prison dog. As far as we can tell they managed to get him to wee or poop only in one yard as he won't do it anywhere other than a garden, and gets visibly uncomfortable if you take him on a long walk!
In all other respects he's as mad as a hatter and the only word he understands is 'out' (although walkies, dinner etc are fine) but 'out' results in 5 minutes of bonkersness followed by sitting at the door waiting. TV theme tunes/credits have the same effect.
My sis has just had a SS pup the same age, grew up with one and love them, ace dogs

Just wait until you put the christmas tree up...
for the 100th time in a week.... 🙂
Ahhh sweet iDave - what's his/her name?
Actually, bit top secret, but will be out that way in July...with Molly.
Ohh, you fancy doing La Marmotte?
I can't say any more on the matter in case TSY is reading.
SS are great dogs, they'll follow / lead you anywhere on the bike and run for miles...
Here's my pair on a short local ride - please excuse the editing, I was just trying out the new camera and software...

Dottie says hello.

She enjoyed the garden at that age too.
I'd like a springer as a friend for Dottie but got a firm [b]NO[/b] from Mrs MM. 🙁
If your first class will be anything like ours then it will be carnage. 😀
Well you got 2 photos, so that means he must have been sat down for about 2/250th of a second, which is pretty good going for a Springer puppy.
Seems like a good time to introduce Eithin, she is now about 14 weeks but this picture was taken a month ago.... probably the last time she was still enough! 😉

Jesus, that first puppy class. Piss. Shit. BowWowWow. More piss. More shit. Tangled leads. Shit. NO! Good girl. Shit. Piss. Loved it. 😀
shouldn't you have 'gone' before you left the house?
What's the other BT's name iDave?
Tally - she belongs to some friends in Morzine
Most Excellent Springers are. I've had two in the past, both Brothers and one bonkers as, the other soft as..
Watch your sofa arms and curtains that are "just in reach", carpets that have tinyest of frays and doors and windows that you think are secure, when actually to a Spaniel they're mere objects to be knocked over/out.
Tyres, bike tyres, spares hanging up, they'll be gone, chewed up into shreds, so too cables, so too saddles, shoes, smelly bib shorts, socks, bed linen, dangly anything really.
You'll never calm a Springer down, nor should you, get him outside and in the woods/fields chasing stuff..
Have fun in that part chewed left shoe that you used to have a right one that matched it pre Springer..
Hhahahahahaa
Springers are the best and absolutely mental!
Just make sure you have loads of fun and enjoy every minute you get with them............
Freakin' lush.
Here's Mabel (14wks old) getting a warm:
