Finn's actually left tonight  :'(. He's going to spend a bit of time at Lizzie's Barn in Wales. I couldnt keep fostering him as I've got a busy spell with boarders coming in. Had hoped he would have found a home after 10 weeks here but no luck. Feeling really awful about it but I'm sure he'll have fun down there and make lots of doggy friends. What really got to me today though was that this morning on our walk he recalled for the very first time. Was so very proud of the little man  :luv:

Anyone who is interested in Finn should contact the Spaniel Trust still. He's a cracking dog and I miss his helicopter tail already  :-\

Thanks Penny, you've set my mind at ease a bit. I'm terrible for trusting anyone with my charges even if they aren't permanent ones.....

What a gorgeous boy  :luv:
If I could have another one at the moment then I'd have snapped him immediately!
I think a boy like him, at his age would be a wonderful project to start on gun dog work. He sounds like he has a lot of natural drive and with a bit of training on commands might make a fantastic all rounder. and has the face of an angel to boot!  :shades: What a fab project for someone  :D

Good luck with him  :D

I'm sorry to hear that Finn has left you Jo.  I am sure he will be very well looked after and find his forever home soon.

Will close this for now rather than let it end up as a discussion thread and will reopen on request ;)
