sprockers..do they make good pets

Hi Haycroft......re your nan's sprocker.... as she is to be a pet I would seriously try and get her ball obsessed asap. A pensioner in my village has a rescue sprocker and lives in sheltered accomodation.....she doesn't even have a proper garden! However, she takes the dog out on the village green and exercises it by virtually standing still herself and chucking balls for it. She does also slowly lead walk around the village for hours.....catching up on all the gossip! Whilst this may not be the ideal type of existance for a working bred dog, this one copes admirably: he's fit, well socialised, friendly, obedient and relaxed around the house.

Sooo....if your nan is not up for walking miles a day, try and get her to get the pup fixated on balls! Gets the dog working up a sweat, satisfies the chase instinct and saves her energy!

Good luck!
