QUESTION RE SPRINGER SPANIELS.

 

I LOVE TO SEE SMALL SPRINGER SPANIELS, ITS PROBABLY BECAUSE IVE BEEN A TERRIER MAN FOR SO LONG - ANYWAY IM BEATING AND PIGEON SHOOTING NOW AND IVE BEEN LOOKING TO GET A COCKER PUP BECAUSE THEY ARE SMALL BUT CANT FIND A GOOD ONE.

 

QUESTION IS ARE THE SMALLER SPRINERS A CERTAIN STRAIN OR WHAT CAUSE IF I CANT GET A COCKER I WOULD HAVE A SMALL SPRINGER BUT HOW CAN YOU TELL WITHOUT SEEING DAM AND SIRE TOGETHER.

 

ANY INFO WOULD BE GOOD THANKS

In Short you can not be 100% sure .

The dam is your best you have to look at a small dam and a average pup from the litter should give you a small dog.

A good working type should be on the small side anyway as large usually means show blood.

Ask about on here for people with small springers for the lines and then take pot luck like the rest of use.

My last springer was small in height but built like a staffy, my latest is 7 months and small and up to now athletic build but who knows what she will be at a year !

But i don't care as she's mine and great !!!!!!!!

most cockers are quite small but they are a real hand full mate i got 2 got an 8 month old one now she is going to be so so hard to train she is out of top class working stuff.

i have had terriers and can tell you this cockers are a lot better. you can find a good one in the shooting times or loot

i took 7 months to find my second one and 2 years to find the first

People often talk about Dog Lines I dont keep any dogs just bitches so you can say I have a bitch line,all my Bitches are small cocker in size soft in temp but fast as feck.My Bitches are all related from our first bitch which is now a grt grt grandmother .

 

The first litter we ever had we used a Druimmuir dog Finn a powerfull traditionall large springer ftw with the drive and temp to match.not one of the pups ever had his size or his looks,but they did have his nose and speed.

 

Ive used a leggy Ftch which again none of the litter looked liked the sire in size..

 

Personally its a springer thing for me as i have cockers as well in the kennels ,but the ESS is my favorurite breed and will allways remain so..

 

ATB which ever you choose

the springers i av kept for the last 25 years are very small due to breeding small dogs to small bitches they are mainley gwibernant they are not k.c reg but even in the odd litter i breed the odd couple of large ones are born iv got some pups due in may and lookin at the last litter now two and a half year old the bitches are very tiny cocker size and the dogs medium size springers.
