Hiya, I realise that this is predominantly a Labrador forum but am I right in thinking there are Springer owners amongst you? I've read Pippa's books 'The Happy Puppy' and am currently reading 'Total Recall' which are excellent and am hoping to put those tips into practical training with my 10 week old Springer Spaniel, Max. I've also enquired about a puppy session with an instructor from The Gundog Club but their website seems to have disappeared? Anyone know if it's a temporary issue with the site or whether the Club has ceased to exist? Anyway, looking forward to hearing all about your little fur babies.
Re: Max the Springer Spaniel Welcome ;D Yes there are some Springer owners on here, though I am not one of them. I have had German Shorthaired Pointers but now on Labs. You have a gorgeous pup, let the fun begin! I tried to go on the website you mentioned, but found like you, there was an error. Perhaps Pippa will know why.
Re: Max the Springer Spaniel Hi My brother has two GSP's. Gorgeous dogs. Our choice was between a Labrador and a springer but in the end the Springer won out - as I found a breeder at the right time and in the right place I was on the site just the other night but when I tried to get it on today it had gone. Very strange :-\
Re: Max the Springer Spaniel Hi there and welcome to the forum - glad you enjoyed the books. Thanks for letting me know about the website - I have contacted the developer and hopefully he will have it restored shortly. Your puppy is gorgeous!
Re: Max the Springer Spaniel Hello and welcome to the forum! Another spaniel, how wonderful! I have four spaniels myself, two springers a cocker and a Clumber spaniel. Hope you are having fun with your gorgeous new puppy!

Re: Max the Springer Spaniel hi welcome from me and jasper black lab, 16 month old,....max is adorable
Re: Max the Springer Spaniel Thanks everybody. I think he's super cute but I'm a teeny bit biased @kateincornwall - where abouts are you? We have a caravan near St Austell and visit often. Max came from a breeder in St Austell too so he barks with a Cornish accent
Re: Max the Springer Spaniel Hi , I live in south east Cornwall , about 15 miles due east of St.Austell, lucky me ;D
Re: Max the Springer Spaniel Welcome from us, Hattie 6 years and Charlie 3 years our rescue. Max is just adorable. Enjoy the forum. xx

Re: Max the Springer Spaniel Hi Max - welcome to the forum! Is your dad called Fluff? ;D This is a great forum for all dogs and dog owners. Max is really cute Jac and Lilly (black lab girl, almost 4 yrs old) hailing from Scotland.
Re: Max the Springer Spaniel Is your puppy's sire a Buccleuch dog? I saw a very nice litter in St Austell advertised recently.
Re: Max the Springer Spaniel Hello and welcome!!! We love diversity - the more breeds the better! (Though we have a soft spot for spaniels… )
Re: Max the Springer Spaniel Hello there,your puppy is gorgeous.I've got Dexter a yellow lab who is 19 months old.We didn't get a family dog until I was 16, he was a black and white cocker and a procession of spaniels followed him..I wish now I'd taken more notice of the training stage rather than just practising cuddling skills with them ;D
