English Springer Spaniel

I have an 8-year-old, liver and white coloured Springer spaniel. To me she is a little beauty and I think the world of her.

My fiances family have a 2 year old springer called Buster, and my brother had a dog bred from a springer, so i have a fair idea of what your letting yourselves in for when buying a springer!!! --- Puppy Behaviour --- Honestly, what can i say, Springers are pretty much like puppies all their life!
