Springer spaniel rescue- useless owners

[Michen]

Thistle will give you details on Spaniel Aid if you want to go that route, although you’re likely to have people on here wanting him.

The foreshortened/Queen Anne forelegs are very spaniel, Brig had very slightly curved fores and was shorter than his brother Jake. Never caused him an issue. Good that you’re getting the eyes looked at, they’re very exaggerated. Any ideas on breeding? I'm guessing not if you’re unsure of his breeding, although he looks pure spaniel to me.

Pets at Home Wainwright’s puppy food is highly rated on the allaboutdogs website. Also, if you download the app saying you have a puppy, you get some serious discounts on food there.

Nope definitely not necessary (thanks though) he has several offers of a home all from known entities so just have to work out the logistics now, so his next move should be his final one, want to avoid minimal shifting around.

No idea on breeding and thanks for the food suggestion

I feed Burns dog food. Just saying. ?

He looks like a poorly breed old fashioned Springer, see plenty with legs that bad about still

 

[ester]

Glad you got him

 

[Penny Less]

Michen, he looks very happy and settled in your pics, how could you uproot him again (sorry, not what you want to hear!)

ooh ?

 

[Moobli]

He looks a bit like a show bred x working bred springer to me.

Looks like a sprocker to me. I know a working cocker with similar legs, doesn't cause her any issues. I hope you find him a good home!

 

[Michen]

Just checked the vaccs stuff that comes with him and it does say springer cross.

Bless Bog, he always tells the dogs how it’s gonna be!

Anyway lovely permanent home sorted so he will be here another week before his new life starts.

 

[PapaverFollis]

He'll be fully trained by then right? Obvs.

 

[Michen]

He will certainly be much improved ??

Either I forgot what puppies were like or Pepper was born trained!

 

[DabDab]

??? well I'm loving how this thread is turning out

 

[Highmileagecob]

He looks like a Welsh Springer. Not many around now, and super working dogs. Full marks to you for taking him on!

 

[Cloball]

Glad he's found a home ? I met a Springer Bassett cross before and that was a super weird looking dog very sweet but definitely longer and lower than this dude.

 

[PapaverFollis]

??? well I'm loving how this thread is turning out

Me too. ?

Should I own up properly? I'm a bit excited.

They're mostly very ginger, aren’t they?

Me too. ?

If you’re getting him, I’m ecstatic! Get the Pets at Home app, free food/toys. He’s still a puppy!

Are you collecting?
Sent you PM x

Oh, how lovely PF. Congratulations on your new family member.

Lots of photos and updates will be required ??

 

[AmyMay]

Really fabulous outcome!!! ??

No issues there! There's going to be a very disgruntled Sprollie as well. And a Spaniel that will be pleased that we finally got him a proper little brother.

 

[PapaverFollis]

I'm just processing all the things I have to sort out now. MrPF had absolutely zero hesitation when I showed him the picture of that face this morning and was like "I don't care where he is, I'll drive to get him"... I didn't argue!

Meanwhile Pepper will be ecstatic, she’s already marking the days off on the calendar until he leaves. She hasn’t quite got the jist that when I say “bed” to Henry I obviously don’t mean her (given she’s already on her bed).

Cue very sad spaniel because she thinks she’s doing the wrong thing ?‍

Whereas my boys are going to be getting re-trained alongside him because we're all a bit rusty. ?? Time to dust off the creaking cogs of the dog training bit of brain!

Yeah and I couldn’t really be more south. Literally 30 mins away from the sea at the bottom and PF is, well, at the very top ?

 

[Michen]

Lost power now.. good with candles and sudden plunge into darkness- tick ?

What fantastic news!

Ooh, ooh, can I offer a stopover on one or both legs, and if only one, the return journey so I can meet him? (Oh, and Mr PF of course ?) Or a half way meeting point to pass him over, half an hour off the M6, 45 minutes off the M1.

@Michen Not to be a creeper, but every time I see pics inside of your house I want to see more ? it looks like a neat old cottage of sorts. Nice features.
