hmmm, now I have an excuse to post a pic too...
This was 1988. Springer(guess
) is now dead, a few years ago, so was about 14. Takkie is still alive, and very weak, blind(nearly) and deaf. If you go to pat him, he snaps at your hand, cos he thinks he's getting something to eat 
And sometimes he has trouble walking.
Anyway...... this was a happy thread, you have many happy years to come

Yeah, they're supposed to run and hunt and stuff. I guess he did run a bit, but otherwise
Runned lopsided too, can't explain, looked as if he was going sideways but he wasn't.

Awww.....she's lovely Don.....and she can drive too I see!!
I had a Welsh Springer, now got an English Springer [both girls ......so not giddy].
I'm sure you'll have lots of fun and happy years to come with Choccy. She'll become a big part of your family. Amazing how attached we become. Really are mans best friend. Enjoy

Cheers, guys!
Update before the thread gets moved ( ) - Choccy had a very good night, demolished a big bowl full of puppy meat and leftover ham chopped up. Getting very waggy (she was a bit morose on day 1) and follows us around the garden etc.

Enough already with the Choccy stories, I hear you crying...OK, but just had to share this with you.
House trained already at 8 weeks!!!
Honestly, she was pent up and ready to spill this am at 6, took her out and she did the biz, she was obviously waiting for the OK place to do it. Same thing an hour later.
It's happened nearly every time: she waits to go until she's outside, just a couple of wee accidents so to speak.
What a pup.
