George

Jack had been such a model dog that my husband decided that we should get another younger dog to bring on. I would have preferred to have a puppy from Jack however in April this year we were offered a part-trained dog puppy of 10 months, Boundarymoor Aster, or George. We bought him and brought him home and what a wakeup call we got. He is the complete opposite of my calm, contented Jack. George is the definition of a Springer spaniel – never still, everything done at 110 mph, excitable. I’m convinced he has the brain of a goldfish, you know – look there’s a castle, what’s a castle, look there’s a castle. He is bonkers.

Six months on and he is no calmer, although I think he is starting to remember some of his training and on shoot days he tries his best. He is only young and I’m sure he will mature into a ‘cracking dog’ but he will never be as good as my Jack.
