I found a breeder near my home whose female had thirteen pups last Wednesday. I have been looking very hard to find a replacement for my Daisy and now I will have my choice of the litter. I just talked to the breeder a hour ago and she says the puppies are having there tails cropped and there dew claws removed today. She will send me photos soon and I will pick out my new baby in two or so weeks when there eyes are open. I can't wait to see my new English Springer Spaniel, he will be coming home to a house full of the odor of fresh drying bud and more love than any dog can handle. Jon 54
