which is where the site begins to go interactive. It's all part of the plan to get a two way feed going on this site, with you the visitor, to build our Springing community.
I've been sent so many questions about your Springer Spaniels that I thought I would create a Questions page so you can find answers quickly and easily.
As this is an interactive page, anyone can post a question here. If you would like to answer a question posed on the site, feel free to add your comments or answers to your fellow Spaniel lovers' queries.
So, if you have the experience to help others, please take the opportunity to share your knowledge with owners,like me, who are looking for help to questions they may not have been able to find anywhere else.
Do you have a question about your Springer Spaniel that you want answered? Well post it here, and if I cannot answer it I am sure one of of visitors can share their wealth of wisdom and knowldge. Combined we have years of experince between us
