2nd visit to my spaniel pup. She's now 19 days old. *pics*

We went over to the breeder's house last night for dinner and to see how our little pup is! She is now 19 days old - still another 6 weeks til she comes to us, I can't wait!!

Here are a couple of pics of little Purdey:

and with her dad:

We got a copy of her pedigree too last night.
She has quite a few dogs from the Rytex lines - apparantly a good strain of working dogs - anyone else with those bloodlines?

Aw what an angel!

You'd be hard pushed to find a working-bred Springer without Rytex to be honest

That and Badgercourt lines are VERY popular! Badgercourt dogs tend to be larger, heavier dogs, whereas I 'think' Rytex are smaller and faster, quite popular with Field Trial people.
You can see the Rytex in her - lots of white on her face and her ear with a bit of white- very 'Rytex'!

She is lovely

Have fun!!

OHs spaniel had Rytex in her, like Hen said, a smallish bitch with lots of white and a fab nose. She died 2yrs ago after getting poisoned on one of the estates he was picking up at

Cute pup! I know nothing about spaniel lines but Rytex kennels are just down the road from us and seem to be very successful in field trials.

Oh my!!!

she is adorable!!!

We had a Rytex bitch in for training which dad sold for quite a bit of money, so I take it a very valuable and sought after line? She was an intelligent fast learning little girl

who went on to do a lot of field trials.
We had our own spangle called Purdy too. Just to confuse you further, we had a cocker, also called Purdy

'Tis a popular name for gundogs

Look foward to lots more pics xx

Thanks for your replies - especially about the Rytex dogs. This is our first Springer ( I have had labradors, GSD and collies) so don't know much about the lines - not that it would make any difference really, I just like to take an interest!
Henmeister - the breeder pointed out the Rytex ear! She has some Badgercourt in her too on her father's side but the breeder said she was a typical Rytex dog.
I am SO excited about getting her now - only 5 weeks on Friday!
