Springer spaniel rescue- useless owners

I'm so pleased. Very much looking forward to meeting him myself. MrPF says he's lovely and very wiggly. I just hope he's not too stressed out travelling back up. MrPF wanted to have him in the passenger seat so he wasn't worried by being on his own but he's a bit too wiggly for that so he's in the crate in the back. So a bit on his own back there.

He is gorgeous and what a lucky dog. Back to collars quickly, Petface do really nice colours of blue, red and green collars and leads. My dog has them in each colour. I’d share a picture if I could find the green one ?

He has the punk/mohican hairstyle Goose is currently sporting. Brig had it too, but it eventually smoothed out. Goose’s most common nickname is ‘Ponk’, deliberately incorrect! Is it limited to liver and white? None of my black and whites ever had this.

Oscar's dad was liver and white and had the most amazing top knot. Oscar never grew one though, much to MrPF's disappointment! ? He'll be chuffed if Henry keeps his mop head.
 
I am so so pleased Henry has found the best home he could have wished for. PF messaged me when I got Pepper- or rather was thinking of getting her (when some people on HHO gave me a load of crap because I rented my house- apparently some breeders won’t sell to renters even if you have the means to buy if you want to- hadn’t owned a dog before and was getting a spaniel as a first dog etc) and said “you’ve got this” which gave me loads of confidence and I have the most happy well trained fulfilled dog you could ever meet.

So PF I know you’ve got this too and Henry is going to have the most wonderful home. Happy to have been a facilitator in this but very happy to be going home to a one dog house tomorrow ?

Cannot wait to see the updates ❤️

Thank you. I think there might be lots of updates and possibly a certain amount of stressing out as we all get used to each other! ? But we'll get through it.

Just got to get through the next little while waiting as MrPF and Henry make their was back up Scotland. About four and a half hours away now. I think they'll need to stop for a sleep though.

He stressed me out initially but I soon realised it was the routine of a young dog (vs strained obedient one) and having that second rather than him doing anything wrong.

He is overly confident but trainable and will be what you make him which is perfect!
 
I'm having that "I have no idea WTF I'm doing" feeling that new animals bring on. ? Crashingly tired humans. Henry has had a poop and a little trot up and down the front part of the croft. He is a confident wee b*ggerlugs.

First impressions for me on breed is possibly Show Cocker cross Springer... don't know, just get that impression.

I think there's going to be a fair bit of quiet crate time for everyone, including humans, today. I don't want to over-crate him, feel bad as I know he got crated a lot in his first home, but equally I'm using it as a tool to keep everything nice and calm for all dogs. We're too tired to deal with spaniel riots. ? I think an easy, controlled, week. With lots of short interactions for Henry pup through the days...

Right. One thing at a time.

I think I will start a little Henry diary thread. It might help keep my head straight!
