My Story:

For the past 20 years, we have owned Border Collies. My "old Lady," Saska was euthenised two years ago at 16 years old. Sadly, she was deaf, partially sighted, arthritic and had developed internal issues.
Three months ago we decided on an English Springer Spaniel. His intelligence was surprisingly good. He is a quick learner, has attended socialisation at the vets, a basic puppy starter course and will be continuing with a more advanced puppy class in a few weeks.
I am disabled (use a mobility scooter) so the dogs get plenty of exercise! More recently we adopted a Yorkie and are still getting over the surprise!
