Springer spaniels .- daft question!

[noodle_]

this is my working cocker - he's diddy (as im used to collies/springers)

you can see his tail ^^^ its quite long imo


he was docked at a few days old... no chip from his breeder - we did that.... i didnt know tbh how it all worked - we would have had him regardless - docked or not.

noodle, that dog is absolutely gorgeous. I have tried to talk OH into having a working cocker but to be honest he was very reluctant to have springers after the labradors so I think a cocker is a sacrifice to far for him. Will have to show him your photos if anything will change his mind that beautiful little face will.

Oh dear not sure I want one like that!! Our labradors were very destructive and they never grew out of it. We have been spoilt with the springers they have never destroyed anything. The little one carries socks, slippers or pants but never rips them apart. Yours is very handsome though I bet he gets away with anything just by looking at you.

Latest update!

KC papers have been delivered... BUT the bitch is not 'Meg', as previous correspondence suggested (we clearly knew this though, thanks to 'evidence' on facebook). The stud dog, is simply a name, it has never been mentioned before. We have no more details about him.
Contacted the KC, and they have no record of the breeder at the address stated, but do have 4 previous 'Meg' litters under the name of a male at that address. The 'breeder' of this pup, is now registered under another address of another local town according to KC.
The girls FB still states she is where the pup came from..
The pups DOB has been altered by 1 day
and... the vet practice where she got her tail docked, is excluding the girl (breeder) from any further involvement with them - due to major irregularities with paper work resulting in ''serious consequences'' (don't sure how to read that).

BUT, the most important thing, the pup, Pebbles, is totally adorable, and as a previous 'not my cup of tea' regarding the breed, she has converted me (don't tell anyone!)

I know a pure springer than is absolutely tiny - probably the same size as your but over 2 years old!!

BUT - she has serious health issues including diabetes

She is the silliest, sweetest things know and just because your friends dog is on the small size I wouldn't necessarily question the dog being a pure bred. I can't myself see any other breed in there.

The dog I know -

You can see in this photo she is 1/2 to 1/3 the size of her play mate!
