Meet Brinkley!


I would like to introduce the newest member of our family, Brinkley Reynolds! He's a 9 month old Field Springer Spaniel and he is the love of Beau's life :-) We were looking for a hunting dog and decided on this breed b/c of their size and how great they are around kids. He still has a lot of puppy in him but he's too gorgeous for me to get too upset with him :-) He loves Beau's shoes and my bras but he is such a lover and eager to please.

We found him through a Field Springer hunting seminar that Beau found. The Springer Rescue place was taking so long to get back to us and Beau wanted to see what it was all about. I didn't really think we would come home with a dog! It was an amazing experience. There were about 30 people there, all with springer and shotgun in hand. The dogs were all so disciplined and seemed to truly love the sport of hunting. Brinkley (full name Kantagree Brinkley) comes from an amazing blood line, his parents and grandparents have all received the master level of open field something or other. Who knows but we ate it up ;-) It's all hunting related but it might as well be show dog stuff b/c he's SO pretty!

Beau gave Brinkley his first haircut today and what a stunner! He's SO soft! He and my Shelby are getting along beautifully, now that she has proven that this is her house and that he's merely an extended-stay guest ;-)
