Derby, our new springer spaniel

Derby (pronounced “Darby”) is a Springer Spaniel and is about 11 weeks old.  He’s of the field breed rather than the show lineage of springer spaniels.  We had a great time meeting Derby and his mum and his brothers and sisters.  They were all really beautiful.  His dad’s name is Bushie.   Derby is really cute and is settling into his new family really well, though we didn’t sleep particularly well last night.

River and Derby

He really likes to play with River.  She is so good with him!
