For several years now I have thought about a new family member, I love springer's, mad, energetic just like me,wife always said no :mad:
To my surprise last night both my wife and two daughters came in while I watching footy, my time >:(
"dad can we have dog"?
Joking I said "yea, needs to be a springer tho (knowing full well that will be the last of it)"
Ok... "what about these springers"
:ohmy:
Big possibility the new mad family member may be coming after all in early March
-
How lovely, something good to look forward to 🐶
-
A day to remember, Aidy :D
-
Well we had a chat with the breeder, he invited us round to view the boys (social distance of course) outside.
We had a chat, he trains gun dogs and has bred Labs but never Spaniels, first time. He showed us the paper work of his dogs, it appears grandad was an Irish gun champ and Grandma was a English champ so by all accounts good pedigree, we also met mum and she was lovely.
So come March the 6th we pick up...
Lake
His daughter kindly took the photo when back inside the house for us.

We keep our mobile caravan in storage at a farm, they also have a caravan site which of course we use a lot, some friends put us on to it a few years back.
They also put some other friends onto it and we met them last year, they have a cocker called.... River
So me daughter suggested Lake as they will be fingers crossed good friends.
-
As I live in Lake here on the Island thoroughly approve of the name. :D

Lovely cutie! Will take you out to exercise, so no loss there!

Lake is home and showing the world how docile English Springer Spaniels really are, not that energetic, mad, bonkers breed the press have made them out to be ???
-
NOT YET!!! Just you wait :lol:
-
NOT YET!!! Just you wait :lol:
Agreed Mum. My brother had a springer. Very docile indoors ... speed of light outdoors :lol:
Lovely picture, Aidy :D
-
He’s a beauty. All down to training & plenty of exercise I suppose
-
He's beautiful. Can't wait to hear what mischief he gets in to.
-
Update:.....
Well Lake is growing up now and has taken to swimming in..... Lakes :lol:
He is also a barking mad Tic (Wigan Athletic supporter).
-
Tuff love mind man. We had a springer. Luckily man of house was a gentle but very firm hand with dogs. We had a mad but very obedient springer. If it hadn't been nicely trained man of house would have been deep in trouble.
-
UPDATE:
It's been a while but....
Lake is grown up now, 2 1/2 years old and has become a guard dog :lol:
He is keen on guarding the peas and makes sure non escape!
-
Oh bless him! :D
-
Those peas wouldn't last long if my dog Murray was around! Murray loves them :lol:
-
So where do I start???
Came Home from work started tea and the Mrs came home.
We were told to sit down and close our eyes,
Then open them.
Meet Rayn, Lakes New sister.
-
Aww, she's lovely :D
-
She's lovely what's her name :D
