Message I would like to know if you have a short eared dog that would be traditionally used for field events is it still liable for shows if it doesnt have the show breeds features? All springers are gorgeous especially mine he is a black and white springer and gets on with every one and typically hyperactive and playful. How ever he has recently contraced prostate cancer at the age of 5 therefore needs castrating which i feel just horrible about doing but if it saves his life then i will do anything. Angel xXxXx

Message I have 2 ESS Muffin and Crumpet. 18 and 13 months old.What a pair of treasures can't imagine life without them. Muffin is the more sensible, loves chasing anything that flies even the odd hot air balloon. She HATES water and wont go any where near it. her aim seems to be to empty the work surfaces, and collect cudly toys from around the house. Crumpet, is the opposite, will dive strait into any water and swim and swim. Loves her food and is by far the bigger dog. (both are females) She loves my son who can do absolutly anything with her including teaching her how to open the door and empty the washing machine !!! they both are very different and are devoted to each other never been speerated since Crumpet arrived as a little girl of 10 weeks who had been to 2 owners and not wanted (no fault of her own) the first thought that the new puppy would be house trained and were horrified to discover that was not the case, she was then sold to a elderly couple who just were not geared up for a puppy, although they loved her, we were contacted knowing that we already had a 5mth old puppy to take her, this we did without hesitation she has neverlooked back. Some people are quite irresponsible when it comes to looking for a pet. Twice the trouble, twice the JOY.

Message Our 4 1/2 month old ESS bitch is very affectionate. However we have a problem with her biting the children. She tends to do it when she is excited but over the past week or so has started snarling at them too. This week she just went up to my son while out in the fields on a walk and snarled and started biting him. The children never tease her and are not left alone with her unsupervised. We have attempted to make sure that they make their higher status clear eg they give her her food after they have finished their meal, win at games etc. I am becoming concerned as she soon will ahve her adult teeth and I am also worried that she could bite other children. I would be grateful for any advice. Thank you.

Message This is my 3rd ess had the 1st one 14 yrs the 2nd 15yrs and could not take not having one. Here is something I wrote after I lost the one before this one it will tell you what I thought of her. Dear Family and Friends: This is to let you know that on August 9, 2004, after looking into her big brown eyes and her telling me to please let go I'm ready to move on. The decision was made to let THE ROYAL DUTCHESS MAGGIE MICHELE OF PINEWOOD move on to a better world where she will once again see clearly and hear as she could before. I could be selfish no longer for she has given me too much. So to my friend my Companion my love. May you run far and free in lush green grass fields where you can run after as many golf balls as you wish. May you romp through the woods until you want to lay and sleep in the sun. May you find clean clear lakes and rivers to dive for the rocks that you so loved to do and to entertain as many as want to watch. May you find an unlimited amount of your favorite cheese and pig ears and eat as much as you want. You have always been so true to me that I promise that we will once again somewhere, sometime, meet again where we will be together through all eternity. I will never forget you. Love, Dan

Boy was I not prepared for him..His name is Glen- Moran ( after the whiskey) and he is full of energy!! I know you dont advise that they be left in the house alone i.e when at work , but my other dog settled well and they do get good runs in the fields when i am home... Glen has nw discovered that my kitchen door tastes good, and as reluctant as I feel, i put him in his cage ...Does any one have any suggestions about the chewing/ boredom.. He is so beautiful and will eventually be a very faithful friend, he knows to sit, lie and play with his ball, but the toilet training still hasnt happened.... I dont remember my other dog (wee jasper/mongrel) being like this.. Dont want to give Glen up what do I do!??

Message Today 12/11/05 is feeling like the worst day of our lives,our ess bonnie past away in the local vets she was 19 months.She developed a illness called Hemolytic Anemia which is a blood disorder where her immune system attacked her own body,while reading up on it i found that ess's are more prone to it than other breeds. she had a blood transfussion and was given steriods over a period of 24 hours but collapsed and died at 10-35am today, just a word on how to check for this illness is they become very lethargic and their gums instead of being pink become a horrible grey colour so a quick check of their mouth a few times a week might help owners going through the feelings we are at the moment with the loss of bonnie at such a young age.I know its a rare complaint and she was probably unlucky to develope it now we need to decide wether to get another ess or not they are lovely dogs none better in my book.

Message We are the proud owners of a 4 year old English Springer Spaniel called Benson (Trimere Tall Order). Benson was bred by Anne and Colin Corbett and when we went to see him at 8 wks old I always remember Anne saying that she thought he was going to be a big lad...Anne you were so right he is absolutely huge. So many people who own springers comment on how tall he is.. he definitely lives up to his Kennel Club name. We call him our Gentle Giant as he is wonderful with our 14 month old daughter, they are a double act, where ever he goes she goes and visa versa. A wonderful breed to have around children, our lives will always be blessed with springers.

Message I am the proud owner of Miles and Grace. Miles is 2 years old and we recently got him a little companion Grace she is 14 weeks old. I originally didn't want a springer but it was my boyfields childhood pet so we got Miles. They are adoreable with very different personalities. Miles loves to cuddle while Grace is fiesty. They both love each other dearly and snuggle up on the settee most nights. I will never be without a Springer, they are loyal and loving creatures. Words cannot express how much I love my boy and my girl!!

Message Hello I have just found this site while browsing through trying to find advice on a skin problem. We have a brilliant 20 month old Springer called Harvey and a rough Collie. I have had many dogs in my life before but this is my first Springer, What a dog. boundless energy, loyal, loving, huge character. We are lucky in that we live 10 minutes away from Ashdown Forest so he is out most days just being himself, absolute pleasure. He will get pheasant up that you had no idea were even there. Deer cows and horses he is fine with but sheep are still a problem. He will stay close off the lead IF got under control in time. If not then he is off. Anyway - he has a skin problem that has flared up the last month or so, Flaky and irritated on his back, our vet gave him a steroid injection last week which stopped him itching immediately but a week later it is back again. I know they are prone to skin problems, (his ears go through phases but Canaural drops and cleaning with Cerusolve clears them up quite easily) but don't want to have to give him steroids as a cure. He is fed on Eukanuba and as I say has loads of excercise. He has always been in the streams and ponds so always wet but it's only in the last month or so this problem has started. Any advice/suggestion or comment would be very welcome. Great site by the way. Nice to see so many other people obviously nuts about their dogs as well.

Message A very nicely composed web site with much to present. As an owner of an American bred ESS it is always interesting to see the differences beween the UK Springer's and their American cousins. God bless and protect you.
