[nagdu] having many dogs

[Julie J.]

Brittney,

Her name is Toby and she is a Brittany Spaniel.  It's very similar to 
the English Springer Spaniel.  The Brittany and Springer spaniels are a 
bit bigger than the Cocker Spaniel.   All spaniels were originally bred 
to flush game for hunters in the field.  Toby came from hunting lines.   
She was originally intended to be a hunting dog.  I did take her out a 
few times when she was a puppy, but she is gun shy.   She is very sweet 
and fits in well at my parents home.

Julie
