    Shooter your pup is so cute, Springers are loads of fun!

    Are you training him to retrive or for upland? or is he a family dog?

    Congrats on the great looking poop machine!

    Thanx Dutchie. I am hoping he will be a good grouse dog and overall just a good outdoor companion as well as a family pet. All things so far are pointing toward him being great at all of the above. He is also about 99% paper trained so not much poop in the house. He only dropped one coiler on the carpet so far in a week.

    Re: Which dog to get??

    Ya I got him from some people in Nanaimo. I had been talking with a couple different breeders but they were all distant and I would have to have a pup flown in sight unseen. Also would have had to wait for future litters etc. I happened on some people who had an accidental litter of pups. I took a little flack from a couple people who told me that if I was going to get a pure breed that I should have went through a breeder and maybe they are right, but I did get to see records of each of the parents vet checks and health exams.He is an adoreable pup and he has the best temperament. His father was a registered purebred but his mother wasn't registered, and being able to view the pups and the mother before making the decision was a big bonus.
    Here's a couple other pics Angel

    wow so cute. I am really glad you are overly excited about your pup!

    Dogs are mans best friends for a reason, and this is just another reason why.

    congrats on such a little cutie and many years of happy hunting!!!

    PS are you interested in any training? Bopper is going to get a course going sometime soon...

    Dutchie!

    Yes I would love some help training and I have been speaking with Bopper via e-mail. Me being on the Island it may not be feasable for me to head to the mainland for a 2 day training course but we will see what happens. I did just order some training dvd's in and hope to have them in within the next week or so..... hope they are worth it.

    Labs all the way.
    They are worth the shedding.
    And besides...they are only puppies for 6-8 years!
