Completely off topic, but...

I've had two Springer Spaniels - wonderful dogs but headstrong both of them. As to a name - if pedigreed look at the parent's official names. My last dog was from Guiadera White Lightning and Brixclose Peddler. So a peddler of white lightning had to be a Bootlegger!

Have plenty of chew toys around to "redirect" the little darling's chewing instincts...I finally got the message about that with the last dog and it saved a lot of grief. I used to dislike the look of the Springers but lately I've come to appreciate them...congrats on a new buddy.

The dog's family tree names can be pretty funny. My Golden Beagle's mom's name was "Pure Honey"...hence her beautiful golden color. Dad's name was "Tipton's Ever Ready"...I expect that this was an allusion to his propensity to be ever-ready to make more little beagles...the only thing that this hunting dog hunts is a soft place to sleep. Does yours come from a hunting or companion animal background?

Best
