Wookie Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Good luck! Sounds like she's settled in alright though and she's a gorgeous little thing. How big do you reckon she'll get? More springer-sized or more pointer-sized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 She looks beautiful are you going to work her ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_pigeon Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 she's beautiful!!! Good Luck with her and I hope you have many many fantastic years! I'd be interested to know how big she will get? It's a very interesting cross and I wonder as someone has asked before, will Jess grow to more Pointer or Springer size??

hodge911 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) yes she,s going to be worked . can,t belive what a good little thing she is . have only had one misshap but that wasn,t her fault had a housefull of family/friends come to see the new addition and she got herself a little over excited . she has actually gone to the door on 4 occasions now and when let out has gone to loo .she has also stated to respond to her name . second night in cage was excellent no noise/mess . she really is supriseing me . [hope it continues] i,m hoping after seeing her parents that she will be just a tad taller than a springer with a slightly longer leg. will post more pics soon Edited December 3, 2008 by hodge911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge911 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) took the little one for first jab today . vet gave her a good going over and apart from a slightly dirty ear [got drops off him to sort this] give her a clean bill of health . she is still suprising me with her intelligence Edited December 3, 2008 by hodge911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hodge, check out NTTF's training program mate and PM him for any further info as he has absolutely nothing to do with his time being a rich bitch's toy boy :wacko: Cage training start is good start. Gorgeous looking hybrid BTW so keep us all posted LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 6 Year old lab and 5 year old cocker do the same whenever I come home even if I have just popped out for 5 minutes Well done for getting back into dog ownership. I could never go back to not having a dog when out with the gun. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
