Yea, I'm really "partial" to the breed.
I'm on the Board of Directors of English Springer Rescue America, the nationwide rescue group for the breed, and I also serve on the Board of Governors of the English Springer Spaniel Field Trial Association, the AKC Parent Club for the breed. I REALLY like these dogs!
I am currently on the road going home from Springer Nationals (this year in Albany, Oregon) where the top Springers in the nation meet each year to compete. It's a fun, fun event to attend.
I'll go check out your guy's picture in that thread.
