mattyg1086 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Going to look at a two 16 week old springer bitch pups what should i look out for. Do i pick the biggest and most outgoing one or what ive just oucked the one i liked best before but that was with my pet stafffies and id like some advice. The gamekeeper i know once bought the runt of the litter from a traveller site and that dog was brilliant so i havent a clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONY R Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Sit amongst them, obviously watching where you sit :lol: . Watch for eye contact the one that seems interested in you the most, not too boystrous or too shy you want the quiet confident one . dont be in a rush to pick one even if the seller looks bored you need the right one you have it for the next 10 to 15 years god willing take your time.

mattyg1086 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 So she has been with us now for two weeks or so but is still very nervous and shy. Whats the best way to build her confidence it is building alowly but is there anything i can do to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Neal Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Trying to work out from the pictures, how old is she? Looks 4 months or so? Has the breeder done any training work with her? Springers aren't naturally timid/nervous, I hope she's not been cowed by any unsuitable training methods. Lots of one-to-one time. Simple tasks followed with heaps of praise & reward when they do the right thing. Unfortunately, character traits set into a dog very early in its life can last forever, hope it hasn't been "broken" :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 She looks great. There is no rush with these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
