Having finally managed to post photos, I thought I would post photos of my five. I have been a springer fan for about 20 years. I currently have three and two cross breeds. I live in the south of france and show and breed springers.

wow they are lovely, especially the first one

Diffinatley got your hands full.

It's not too bad, the 3rd and 4th are my old girls, they are 12 and 13. The last one was the 'mistake'. I work in a dog refuge and last October a litter of 10 pups that were 2 days old were found in a carrier bag. I hand reared them and the other 9 were homed but Crocus was ill. He had been mauled by his Mother, had an infected umbilial cord and didn't eat. At 3 months he was blind and deaf and given a life expectancy of 3 months so I said I would keep him. 7 months on he can see and hear and only suffers with some brain damage which doesn't affect him other than to give him some completely unique characteristics - e.g. his tail stump wags up and down and not side to side! Dawson at the top is 7 months now and Chablie the 2nd is 15 months.

wow i bet they all keep you on your toe's , welcome to ST
