The black and white bitch is Pip and the liver and white bitch is Indie.
I'm cute and I know it!
Recall!
Out for a walk on the fells.

Wow thats a million dollar question
, I don't think any particular line springs to mind that are inherantly bad but I have seen Spaniels that have had no thought put into the compatibiltiy between sire & Bitch and hence the snipey head narrow nosed, bulgy eyed, dainty footed things you see about.
but lines I do like, Tony Prices dogs Tawnyhill, I loved the Badgercourt lines such a shame he has gone, I like Chris Bridgewaters Scherzando ( I am sure there are others that I can't think of off the top of my head) and I am hoping that if my breeding programme goes to plan people may be kind enough to say they like mine
we will see, the last litter were stonkingly good, so fingers crossed!!.
this is a pic of one of my pups an owner sent to me this week as she was 1 yr old on 9th Jan

I'm sure I read somewhere that only one third should be docked and two thirds left with spaniels?!
