My name is Mr.Zack..!

The honest truth is...we didn't know much about springer's..! But since our beautiful Black lab passed away sudenly of a heart attack...thing,s just wasn't the same at our home.

After grieving for 3 months our vetenarian gave us an old issue of "Dogs in Canada Annual "and suggested a springer spaniel or a Brittany, for the kind of life style we had.

So we found a good breeder and went off for a visit..! We spoke a lot about the differences betwen english springers and brittany's since she had both breeds..!and she knew right away that she had a dog for us and he was a spaniel ...but he was 10 months old..!

She hadn't sold him mostly because he was black and white...people wanted liver and white spaniels. She brought us to meet the dog in the kennel..and there he was springing all aroud us and it was love at first sight...!

Told us his name was Mr.Black...well I wasn't going to give him a name because of the color that kept him behind his brothers or sisters..!

So Mr.Black became Mr.Zack...! Love the breed so much that last year we got him a sister,another black and white springer, who's name was Gamine ( little brat ) since she's not...!

Ichanged the name for Gaïa....! and here I am today with my two cuddle bugs and finding myself another lover of the breed...a springer lover forever...!
