Well, I think here you can a difference between my "old style" and "new style" springers. The older is a big-headed, muscular type who runs through everything and is a great hunting dog. The younger kinda "thinks" first... but let's see when he gets more action with game!
I took my 9 month puppy to a water training day at the weekend run by the Bracco Italiano Club, for some socialising and to improve his confidence in water. Had a great day, and took this the day after. I think the confidence building worked. Helen.
A fantastic photograph, wish I could take them like that. I did notice a collar on your dog, I am always worried that something underwater could catch in the collar and the dog then be in difficulties. Maybe I worry too much?
