I'm on the look out for another Springer

[Ravenwood]

No I haven't gone completely barmy!!

I saw a 10 month old ESS privately advertised. It was bred by someone who is into trialling and they think that this dog won't make the grade. I have left a few messages to ask more details but not really had much response other than a one line email so I have left my number for them to ring me.

If anyone knows of a Springer in the southwest that is around a year old or so and looking for a good working home - let me know

Are you sure about that?

 

[Penny Less]

Have you tried springer rescue ? they seem to have branches all over the country

 

[joeanne]

Nothing wrong with wanting more springers!
In fact i think Hen needs at least one more,Otto needs a partner in crime!

 

[Spudlet]

Have you tried asking in here?
web page

I can offer you a nice 2 year old lab, but I want her back after you finish working your magic

 

[Ravenwood]

LOL - Do I get to spend the weekend in Ireland picking her up?

I was a member on there for quite a long time - but also quite a long time ago - its a brilliant site, they are all really helpful, but it got invaded by the Americans who were into force fetching etc

Spend the week if you like

 

[Ravenwood]

LOL - you do realise that Flyn is a whole dog!! She might come back full of little Springadors inside her! :O

 

[kirstyhen]

Come pick Otto up if you like, bloody animal got hold of one of the chickens this week

Moral of the story is, don't leave OH in charge whilst your away

Although having said that, he was a little star on his walk tonight

(You are definately mad, but it must take one to know one, I want another one too

)

 

[GinaB]

I can't think of anything worse than a litter of springadors

Have you tried sportinggundogs.com?

 

[Ravenwood]

No thanks - I've got chickens too! Three very coveted hens. Plus it would cost me a fortune in tape keeping his tail in one piece

 

[merlinsquest]

Have you been to your local branch of Springers Anonymous yet....

They will help you with this addiction and cure you of the need to fill your house with madness.

You will be offered Schnauzer therapy...... and perhaps in time will be able to choose a more sensible dog to buy.

Good luck...... I really hope that it works

nice 7month old pup there... lovely dogs, uncle used to breed and train them, was president of gundog society in his time, good luck with your search.

LOL MQ - cheeky

Thanks ucimea - I did have a look at that site and noticed that very sad and worried looking pup - but also notice he's not been docked.

 

[kirstyhen]

Blimey, that pup is very similar to Otto, if he was slightly older I would be sure they were from the same litter, the facial expression is identical.
I would love him! Shame I can't have him

 

[Spudlet]

That pup looks lovely...

*whispers* you could always strap his tail up, then he really would be like Ottos's long lost twin

Try Andy from Spinchetti Gun Dogs

http://www.champdogs.co.uk/breeder/11552.html

He is based in Gloucestershire, which may be a bit far, but i know he had a lovely dog that he was looking to sell the other day when we took our bitch for mating. It was really nice black & white (sorry can't remember if it was a bitch or a dog)

 

[Ravenwood]

Thank you - I'll take a look.
