Following on from this dog thread...

This sickens me - I would so much light to punch this woman on the nose and starve her too!

Rant over

Never had a Springer Spaniel so cant comment but we have 2 Boxers at the moment. Brilliant house dogs, easy to train and great with youngsters.

My neighbour keeps springers, boy are they hard work! He does a lot of shooting so they get the exercise they need, unless you can provide a similar outlet forget about it.

Well a good dog != springer spaniel, most of them are born insane. If you want a right good pet dog lad, get yerself a whippet, or if you've a bit of space a greyhound.

+3 for the greyhounds they are great patient and very lazy dogs that give more love than any animal I have ever had. We lost our first one about 2 years ago and now have another 2. Soon I will be looking for another pair to join them. Its your own choice but to pay nearly a thousand pounds to a breeder when there are thousands of dogs in kennels because they seemed like a great idea at the time is madness

PS my dogs actively tell me to get stuffed if I try to take them out in the rain a spaniel will rip your house to bits if you forget to walk it...
