Just a wee post to say howdy before i start bothering people for advice.
I've been a farm worker for the last 19 years and in that time i have had a lab and german shepherd and before that my parents always had lab cross collie dogs so dogs have always been around and about the place.
After starting shooting around 6 years ago i always fancied a shooting companion and so eventually i decided to get a springer. Looked around and found druimmur spaniels and in particular their stud dog 'BULL'. Cracking dog but they had a waiting list at that time for pups. By chance we found a litter sired by bull not far from us and after a short visit we had picked a bitch. I've always had dogs but at the time we had a breeder with 7 flatcoat bitches next door and another 3 lab bitches on the farm, so i thought it would be damned cruelty to get a dog.
It seemed to take forever for that pup to become old enough to come home but as soon as we picked her up we knew we had picked a good'un. (Maybe a bit biased
) 2 sleepless nights with wining and full nights sleeps since then. 
Lucy is now just over 6 months old and things 'seem' to be going fine with her learning things very quickly.
Anyway that's all for now and hope to join in the cracking banter that i've read when looking around on here.
Cheers
