We are really looking forward to the possibility of having a Risingmist dog.
Love the fact that you're a family, looking after the dogs to a professional standard in your home, with a whole host of other furry feathery friends too.
Have really enjoyed reading all the help and advice in the forums and reading the suggested reading books.
Many thanks

Having previously ( being younger!) being the very proud owner of my other girls who both were afflicted by congenital problems. Dal was deaf in one ear and cocker with eye problems.
So in short you breed to avoid any close relationship whilst also focused on individuals who have a great health status. If only all breeders had that in mind. I have been investigating field and Sussex spaniel. In fact, of interest was someone who was breeding working with Sussex to get the hybrid vigour and a dog that suited their needs.
Anyhow enough chat. Thanks for the info. Thanks Adam
