Of course she will !!! Good girl sassy !!!! :D

There is one on here I'm racking my brains to remember who it is :-?

I would take her to the vets for tests,she could have a pain or a chemical imbalance both of which could well be treatable :wink:

Alfie kept down his first meal tonight !!!!!

Just spotted Fred as a new user !!! Come on in Fred,they don't bite honest :wink:

It's working guys Alfie looks like he is improving now :D

I might try a gentle leader for Rio he has learnt how to pull on his halti :-?

Ahhhhhhhh I see :wink:

[quote]If the parents aren't excited to get a dog, HAVING to take care of it, (And that includes buying the food AND paying the vet bills. ) will cause them to resent the dog. And again the dog will probably end up looking for a new home.[/quote] Hit the nail on the head there :wink:

[quote]I'm surprised....I would have thought antihistamines[/quote] Me too courtnek :-? Anyway let us know how she gets on :wink:

Do what my sister did drive them mad with doggy talk,she also came to club with me every week and read loads of books about the breed she wanted and about dog training in general. They eventually realised how important it was to her :wink: Could you volunteer at a local shelter ?

Thanks guys :buzi: I know Fred will appreciate it I have given him a link to this thread so he will know how lovely you all are :wink:

It's only a few weeks since Fred lost his other spaniel so this is really hard on him :(

Glad you bumped it up it's lovely :(

That's great DAL :wink:

Wow Nea those pups are gorgeous !!! Keep us posted :)

The vet has given him a 50% chance of recovery :( He still can't keep anything down :(

Excellent advice from everyone :) I can't think of anything to add exept please let us know how you get on :wink:

Little Alfie is a pup belonging to a member from my other site,he is a Springer too so I feel even more upset,he needs all the positives you can send guys,he is very poorly :( story here... [url]http://www.k9media.net/dogchat/viewtopic.php?t=1873[/url]

K's idea sounds good to me :wink: Fingers and paws crossed here for Sassy :( I'm sorry she isn't doing so good maybe she just needs a bit more time to adjust,it must be hard for her.

Oh Marion :( Chin up mate at least your girls were there for you :wink: Like the others said ....you ramble away girl we take it in turns on here !! :)

Wow cute lil pup :D I love the pictures.........I miss puppies :(

How sad :(

Listen to these about springers.... [color=red]they are hard to train as a result of being so easily distracted and hyper. Many are dominantly aggressive. They're dirty (enjoying rolls in the mud) and can be quite a lot of hassle, generally. They're barkers. Many are submissive urinaters. They belong in the country, outside, running the fields. I'd never recommend one as a household pet. [/color] [color=orange]English Springer Spaniels have been bred for a gorgeous appearance. Unfortunately, temperament seems to have taken a backseat in importance to many breeders. There are A LOT of bad temperaments in this breed. I would never recommend them for families with children. Dominance aggression is particularly common. Idiopathic aggression or "springer rage" is also all too common as well. [/color] [color=blue]He wasn't very bright, though, and he had terrible health and behavior problems - severe hip dysplasia, flea allergy, "springer rage", and early onset of a cognitive dysfunction syndrome. I loved him, but I would never have another Springer.[/color] There is a lot of good stuff too but I have never met a bad one yet :( As for rage that is syupposed to be a cocker trait and even then very rarely and mainly in solid colours. :(

Glad all is ok now poor mummy dog can have a bit of a sleep poor girl :) Well done :wink:
