Well it's been quite a few months for Wallace and Arthur but for very different reasons.
March 2013 saw Wallace ready for Crufts and looking his best before tragedy struck and he fractured his elbow and had to undergo a four and a half hour operation to put him back together again.

  All was going well with his recovery until two weeks after the surgery he was hit by an infection on the wound that still may result in him going through surgery again to remove and replace implants in his leg that may be harboring the bacteria.
For the moment Wallace continues to improve but it will be nervous times when he is taken off antibiotics at the end of May to see if the infection returns.

Arthur has stepped up to the plate in the show ring in his absence winning best puppy in breed at Manchester Championship show in January, and following this up with a trip to crufts to represent the breed on discover dogs on Gun dog day.

Arthur then continued his winning ways at Welks Championship show, winning best puppy in breed .

 

Arthur also won best puppy in show at the Field Spaniel Society 90th anniversary open show.
