Snow fun - English Springer Spaniel

dinners · 01-01-2010, 21:06

Managed a few pictures of Fingal in the garden this morning. He's struggled a bit for the last few days as the snow has been too deep for his wee legs and being a tad hairy just now he's had 'snow bobble' issues. Anyway - it's not so deep now so he's been enjoying himself.

I'm afraid my hands were blue so being lazy I just shoved it on auto / sport and got whatever I got. None of this over exposing for the snow and custom whilte balance nonsense today

What gorgeous photos! especially the last one. We've got a cocker Spaniel that love the snow just the same.

Davie · 01-01-2010, 21:14

Yep he's a smasher, great photos too.

Great series, I'm a bit partial to springers as I have one also, these shots show their attitude, behaviour and temperament off to a tee.

Crazyhorse · 01-01-2010, 21:32

Fantastic photos, you've really captured the spirit of the springer. I particularly like shot 4.

I just have a SBT who's not very adventerous and seems to be attached to my heel even offlead and an aged but very game SBT cross who sadly can't really be off lead due to a hip problem.

He's got stubby teeth. For 11 years large rocks have unfortunately been his favourite chew of choice.

No 1 and No 4 for me,fantastic.
