Who let the dogs out?

Buster the 3 year old Springer Spaniel

First time i have had the breed, but i can say that he is a cracker of a dog. Quiet in the house, brilliant with my little toddler and as soft as anything.

Very intelligent, knows loads of tricks and is very obedient.

Then you take him into the woods for a run..........


:D

200 mph, covers every inch of the place, gets caked in mud, leaps into the canal and ponds.


Nose down, ar5e up and his tail wagging like a nutter

I have never seen him looked tired on a run, impossible to curb him but hits the floor with a thud, when he gets back in the house.

Hes my pride and joy and a mischievous little monkey. I would not have it any other way

Can be seen running amok over Haigh Hall plantations in Wigan most nights, with his wee pal Ziggy the Jack Russell

Meg is my third Springer, I just love them. They are great dogs and as you suggest, gentle around the house and manic on a walk.

Great pics Dave!
I never thought of getting a spaniel before we got ours but I'd certainly get another.
Definately Mischievous but loyal and absolutely nuts :D

My boy Max is the best dog EVER!! Love him to bits. He's 14 now so time very precious. Still acts like a puppy at times though...love this boy!

We rescued him from the army - failed his basic training through "lack of drive" - that sums the boy up...laid back!

I've only read up to this one and already he's my favourite.
 
Bentley and Sparky.jpg

Sparky the Bichon Frise on the left and Bentley the Lhasa Apso. Love them both although Bentley can be an absolute pain in the arse!
 
Some great photos, here is our 2 but they are getting on a bit now, scoobs, Great Dane and mags, jack Russell cross whippet. Mags is the boss and scoobs is scared of his own shadow but what he lacks in bravado he makes up for in affection 😊

He doesnt like it when theres noises outside, fireworks probably the worst but high winds are also bad for him. so he goes where its quietest in the house for him and on all accounts thats the base of our shower. One day I came home and as our bedroom door was shut I found him asleep in the bath in the main bathroom lol

Our dog's 'safe place' is the middle step on the stairs, no idea why but if there is ever any fireworks that's where you'll find him, must've been John Malkovich in a past life!

There so much fun

When i walk him i pass many dogs, the majority of which quite happily toddle beside their owners, absolutely clean as a whistle.

Half the time i am on my own, because he is tearing around at light speed caked in crud, with branches and leaves stuck to his ears ha ha

I will spot him in the bushes about 100 yards ahead of me, blink then is bearing down on me from miles behind.

Got a great recall though and is not fussed about other dogs, so im happy for him to do this

If anyone is active and has kids, i cannot recommend a Springer enough.

I know a few and they are all nuts, but in the most charming way possible
 
We can never work out if our Lab is clever/bolshie or stupid/ bolshie.

We never have our radiator thermostats higher than 3 throughout the house but we regularly find the one that he sleeps by is on 4.
Checked again just now and it is on 4. My wife swears she does not turn it up and I don't.....surely not:o
