I have regularly read and posted in all other sections of HHO but I can now join you guys!!
After being dog-less for nearly five years, we are now in the position of being able to have a dog again! A friend of my OH has working springer spaniels and his bitch had puppies 10 days ago. We said we may be interested as my OH would like a gun-dog so we went to see the litter of just 4 puppies.
Well that was enough for me! We saw the mother and father of the litter and they were all gorgeous.
I have had many dogs in my time, but never a springer and I have never trained a dog to be a gun-dog before so I may be coming on here for advice quite a bit.
We have already named her because a friend joked that he had had a dog called Rolex once ........................ because it was a watch dog!!
I said then our dog should be called Beretta or weston or webley (names of guns), then my OH just came out with Purdey - perfect, one of the finest guns and a pretty name for a little spangle dog!
We will collect little Purdey Pink Nose on 12th Feb but we can go and see her again on 30th Dec when we go for dinner at the breeder's house.
Will upload piccies as soon after that as I can!
