Well our two dogs had a lovely batch of pups on March first.
The sire and dam are both Tri colored, black, white with brown highlights.
I do know that the dam's father is a dark liver, white with some golden highlights

Guess what we have 3 pups are are liver, white with golden highlights.

The other 6 pups are the normal black, white, and now you can see the brown highlights on their faces and legs, tail.

Is this common ? to have some liver, white tri colored

Don’t know. But I’m a sucker for pup pics. Let’s see them!

WHAT DON SAID IN SPADES! "Pitchers" please.

Thanks to Don Markey for posting those pics for me.

Utterly charming little toots!

Very nice looking pups!

Best dogs there are for stocked Pheasants. When the roosters run, the Springer gets them in the air.

One shouldn't pick based on color... but one doesn't does he? Nice litter... my uncle was the best pheasant hunter I know... used springers when he was younger, britts when he couldn't keep up...

The one picture of the single pup looking up at the camera, is a female pup.

The new owners visited us this past weekend, and at 7 weeks old they had the pup retreiving a duck wing.

So funny the wing was so big the pup had a hard time picking it up, but she figured it out quickly.

Beautiful litter!!
I grew up with a Liver & White Springer from the Spokane dog pound (1965ish), best Pointer & Retriever I have ever been around. She learned from 2 well trained Vishla (sp) pointers. Oh the good old days!!

After seeing these pictures, I think I'm in love!

Great to see this thread pop up again. I wonder how those pups are doing, now that they are a year old. Hope they all got great homes!

About half of them are somewhat local. The wife created a face book page for the owners to share pictures and stories. So some of the owners keep in touch

We were just invited to one of the female pup first field trials late in May, am looking forward to that.

Here is Athena waiting her turn at the Hunt Trials, she is one of the females from the litter.

Above in the early pictures she is the single pup looking up at the camera.

Enjoy.

Athena did well for her first time. At the end of the first run they knew there was one bird left, sure enough a Chukar. She jumped it and the dang thing flew just above the grass with Athena right behind, too close for the gunner, and then it was out of range. We could see the bird fly down to the third set of trees where the river is. Took about 5 minutes, and here is Athena coming back with the Chukar that she caught up with and caught. That bit of color in her mouth is the bird. The next contacts were flyaway Pigeons that the gunner could not shoot at because of the bystanders way behind the handler, Dang bright or lucky birds.
