Cranfield Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 You will have a good companion and probably a good worker with that mix. It will be interesting to read how you get on. As Mungler sais, lets see some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusk2dawn Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Springadors are becoming very popular now as roughshooting dogs, if hes from working parents and properly trained he will be an excellent allrounder with the best of both the breeds in him. Keep us posted please. D2D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the pup Flash all the best yis yp :yp: It just doen't sound the same in a "Happy Voice" does it My favourite to use is apparently..... " God **** your eyes, Where the **** do you think you're going" Trix usually laughs when I have the "Happy Voice" swear button pushed to on NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash Posted November 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 our old dog doesnt get on with the new one, shes constantly growling at the new pup, when the new dog comes anywhere near. theyve had a few fights. when this happens i tell them both off, but most of the time its the old dogs fault, she snaps at the pup and never the other way round. is there anyway of getting around this. cheers flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 It's only just joined the family Flash. My cocker was put in its place at every opportunity by the lurchers for a few months. I ignored what was happening and it eventually settled down. They are all aware of their places in the pecking order and the situation has resolved itself.

new to the flock Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Have to agree with LB Flash. Give it a few days to settle out the old dog will need to accept the puppy is there and then they will be best friends. NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I moved her near my bedroom, problem solved, all they want is to be near someone. Try it, even move the crate in your bedroom for a few days and see if that helps. Good luck.
