I really like Spaniels, but I probably will never have one other than a Cavalier. And even those, I don't really love the grooming part...

Yeah I don’t really like grooming hah

One of my uncles always had black Cocker Spaniels and their constantly wiggling hindquarters might require some getting used to.

Oh gosh!

We were at a parade and i got to pet a English Golden Retriever. Then a Bernese Mountain dog puppy she was only 8 weeks old, they breed them. She was to adorable. I would have tooken her right then and there if i could have.

They were abandoned? That’s sad

Im not sure but she said her sister found them so i was guessing so. Ts way to sad

Ohhhh okay. I interpreted it the other way like she found an ad for them and bought one. But then she said she has them currently so I guess she did find them.

Sorry, I've fallen behind. (And my sister never sent me the video of them It's okay, she's busy.) Yeah, as far as we know they were abandoned. They live pretty far back off a dirt road and the puppies were all the way up by the house. They could have run up that way, but in all likelihood the were dumped, whether on that property or dumped and they just ended up walking there.

But I do have a little more info. I said one friend took a boy, but I didn't know what the other friend took. They took a girl, who was the skinniest. They have several animal-loving kids, so I'm sure she'll get fattened up quick. There's one boy and two girls left. Our neighbor actually has a set-up they sometimes use for stray puppies, so in a few days they'll move from my sister's makeshift pen to my neighbors pen. When they move I promise I'll get pics of them.

I have found out spaniels are not for me a springer was the breed that made the most sense, she is cute but her frantic hyper running stress both me and my mother

I do kind of regret getting a springer no idea if any other breed would have been better

Its less her amount of energy, I like boisterous dogs. Its more how uses it, its hard to explain. We will see how she matures, I have her now anyway!

Aww... That's sad. So you are keeping her, though, right?!

They all are on raw

When she rans around she doesn’t really have a goal except running and jumping. She will run one way then suddenly run another, Fanta would have a goal, run other here, or run to this toy

its not really frantic but thats how it feels. Fanta’s running felt more controlled while Fennels doesn’t

I find it overstimulating a lot of the time. Fanta seems to prefer tugging and interacting with me which helps me, while Fennel prefers running around like mad carrying things and jumping, its cute but doesn’t help me instead makes it worse if I am all ready overstimulated

Oh goodness. Our 3-year-old Dobie does that. He's still technically got another year left before maturity. At least spaniels mature a whole lot faster. Hopefully she'll grow out of it.

Oh that’s good! Personally I love spaniels although I’ve never really met one so idk

Me too. I really want a red English cocker.

Yeah I don’t really like grooming hah

Aw, but the grooming is one of the best parts! I personally love it. Like, to the point that I'm addicted to a dog groomer's YouTube channel and keep experimenting on our dogs... maybe I should become a groomer.

yes no plans on rehoming her! So far she is everything that I needed, just complaining a bit because I really would have liked to been able to get a giant schnauzer, I think they might be my family's (and mine) favourite breed to own. I do wonder if a standard schnauzer would have been better then a springer but I did want something easier

also wasn’t expecting her to stress me as much as she does

Oh goodness. Our 3-year-old Dobie does that. He's still technically got another year left before maturity. At least spaniels mature a whole lot faster. Hopefully she'll grow out of it.

I like grooming as well (not quite as much) but I don’t know if I can be consistent enough with grooming, I do currently have Lulu (plus 2 angora rabbits) to groom. I can not work out how to trim her feet nicely with scissors, it might be a good start for me to actually look it up
