Congrats! We bit the puppy bullet after looking at rescues for nearly 3 months. So, went for an English Springer Spaniel pup from a local couple rather than a breeder. Had him for 8 weeks now and he's a great dog, but puppies are SO much work. I'd forgotten how much from many in the past, but he's a blank canvas and up to us to train. Both his parents hunted, so we'll see how he does when he's like 8 months old. Handsome young dude, and a real chick magnet.
Update: Benjamin is now close to 10 months old and doing great, and we've survived almost all of the puppy rearing drama. Next is field evaluations for bird hunting, postponed due to the COVID-19 stuff. If he does, he does, if not he's a great dog regardless.
