Thread: Welsh springer spaniel

had one years back, he made it to 16 Yr but the last couple he could not do much.
He did a lot of tramping but no hunting with me. Mate grabbed him from the Waitawheta river on one occasion when he miss-judged how swift it was.
Loved water, would think nothing of swimming across the Waikato River in Hamilton North to chase ducks and then swim back.
Took him until he was 8 to settle down but that's largely my fault.

Ps son has a 1yr old English which would make a Good hunter. Needs to settle down and slow down, however in the 3 weeks he was with us over Xmas he caught 3 birds and 2 rats.
I still think the Welsh Springer looks nicer than an English, not so heavy in the head, better colour, and the English can have dominance issues that you need to be careful of.
