Say Hello to Ollie
English Springer Spaniel, 5 years old
He came from Dogs trust .
My favourite thing about Ollie is...
He has a cheeky character that always makes me smile, he's so funny and always steals my shoes and slippers. He has his problems but soldiers on like a wee trooper, he has a swallowing disorder from birth and had an operation to help. It hasn't corrected this but it has helped a bit, we can maintain this through his food and feeding. He has had pneumonia several times but is still a wee star.
The biggest challenge with Ollie is...
To keep him entertained and stop him stealing our other springer Alex's toys all the time. He is a real attention seeker and is always up to something,never a dull moment but every day is a gift which we are thankful for.
The most surprising thing about owning a English Springer Spaniel is...
Nothing surprises me as they are the most loving, intelligent dogs. They are happy if they make their owners happy; simple!
What I wish I’d known about English Springer Spaniels is...
they do need to be exercised and mentally stimulated.
Did you know?
Although originating from the ‘Land Spaniels’ Springer Spaniels are known for their love of water, and love a good swim or just a splash in a puddle or even their own water bowl.
