Getting a new dog this summer?









Last spring we lost Barley, our ten-year old golden retriever. Barley was a wonderful dog – very gentle, affectionate, and was great with the kids. He was also very well behaved and liked everyone that he met! Even when he was older and far beyond his puppy years, he was always energetic and enjoyed being outside and active. It was very hard to lose him and we miss him very much.

It will be time though this summer for us to get a new dog, and I believe I have found the dog for the Snow family – the field spaniel. These dogs seem similar to goldens except that they can be a bit more reserved and perhaps a bit more stubborn. I have been in contact with a local breeder to learn more about them and to schedule a visit to actually meet some of these dogs.

I think they are really beautiful dogs and I love their cute faces. I have included a couple of pictures of field spaniels as well as one of Barley.

I can honestly say in all my years as a vet tech I didn't see too many of these guys, kinda a rare breed, well a rarer breed.

They are beautiful and I love the chocolate color. Very exciting to add a pup to the mix. It's a very lucky pup to have two boys to play with!
