Oooo I wouldn't mind one! Stop tempting me 
Hopefully the bit about Mum "had" the most wonderful temperament is a typo.

I’m forever looking at Keeshond puppies, but the picture of mum with pups is very off-putting. Saying that, I wasn’t impressed at the timidity of my bil’s pup’s dam and he is nothing like her. I hope she was just having a protective mum moment.

Those clumber crosses are 4 months old on the ad… reckon you could knock the price down again…

I love that the photo is being used as a selling point

I’ve never seen such a photo being used. I’m somewhat amazed that they used it. Great selling point!I love that the photo is being used as a selling point

Interestingly, we had an accidental clumber x springer mating a few years ago. Don’t even ask! The litter were fab, less insane/busy than the working springer sire and marginally less daft than the clumber. She found the whole thing tiresome and ran and hid from the puppies at every opportunity. Some of them are working and the others are much loved pets…. They are all quite vocal like the clumber, and seem to know each other

Mitch is very vocal, the noise he makes when my OH comes home is like nothing I’ve ever heard!Interestingly, we had an accidental clumber x springer mating a few years ago. Don’t even ask!

I bet the ones left are those with white faces.

I've always fancied having a Clumber spaniel! Unfortunately, we are full to capacity.

Can I ask why? I actually like the white faced ones. Is there a genetic problem/reason?

I chose Bear based on his big white stripe, but wouldn’t want a white face, for me, it’s not ‘springer’, imo. Equally, I don’t want a block colour on a head. It’s very superficial and totally unrelated to it being a good worker/pet dog, I imagine. No horse is a bad colour, same for dogs, but I’m quite partial to the stripe. I’ve been put off springers that have white on their ears, too! I have no idea if genetically it’s an issue, but maybe some people link it to deafness?

My JRT is symmetrically marked with white muzzle but brown ears and brown forehead divided by the white extending up between her eyes. I think she is lovely but I also love the look of a couple of those white faced ones.

There's a stunning jrt up the road from me, he has a half white, half brown face, split exactly down the middle. He's gorgeous!

Possibly because they often have pink skin round their eyes. I personally don't like that. My girl has a half white face but has black 'eyeliner' round the eye on her white side. Pink skin seems to go with weepy eyes.
I could be totally wrong about which are left of course.

I’m a long way off being able to have a second dog (both financially and I’d want madam to be much more established in her training) but that doesn’t stop me from window shopping. Though I have the same Lab vs Spaniel dilemma I had before I got her.

My OH had the most gorgeous split face border collie years ago. I tend to mostly prefer symmetrical markings but do love a split face too.

I always think the pinkish skin around the eyes on white faces is a bit off putting. I remember thinking that about our white headed beardie x border when she was wee, but she’s the most attractive looking little dog as an adult, so I’m not sure it would put me off the same in future.

No link to markings/face colour in Springers (or Cockers) and any hearing loss. I mostly have completely dark with very minimal stripe type markings in my lines but have had everything from bald faced to no markings.

She does look pretty angry doesn't she
I used to work at a yard that had 8 Jack Russell's all related as she bred them and they all showed their teeth when they were pleased to see you, almost like a smiling thing they all did with wagging tails and it definitely wasn't aggressive.
However that dog definitely looks aggressive to me.

I think Bear’s stripe is overstated but I wanted a very big one that reminded me of Jake, the dog we’d just lost and of course, Mitch looked very like Zak, minimal stripe.

Like I said, but some people (not me) might link it to deafness. For me, it isn’t aesthetically pleasing.
