I know it's not a big thing but it's nice to have some good news for a change

My Dad's springer spaniel, Holly, gave birth to 5 healthy puppies this morning. The first arrived at 3:30 am and the last was born at around 5:30 this morning. I am hoping to go and see them later today - the children are very excited at the prospect of some little puppies to fuss over.

That's lovely Joh ,

certainly good news to hear of on this miserable day
Wish mother & pup's well
Will the children be having one

 

[Netty]

can we see some piccies of the little cuties please!

 

[mandymouse]

How lovely Post a piccie please Joh

I will certainly post some pictures when I am able to get some - at the moment, Holly is well and truly attached to the pups and is obviously bonding with them so no chance today of getting pictures, I suspect.

In answer to your question, Gill, no the children will definitely NOT be having one. They already have homes for 3 of the pups and I suspect my dad will keep the other 2. They are all working dogs and he wouldn't want them to go to homes where they will be purely kept as pets - and, besides, with 3 children I think I've got more than enough trouble on my hands

Aww how lovely. I love Springer Spaniels I have my own black and white springer spaniel called bobby and boy are they hard work. He goes on about 3 walks a day one being at least an hour where he is let off his lead in the field. We got him from a farm as well he came from a working dog history.

Thats very exciting news! I used to have a springer and i adored him.

Do excuse some of the gory stuff in these pictures - my Step-Mum took them and some of them are taken very early after they were born.
