"Tinka"

Tinka is mild and well-mannered to a point where it is almost too much. 

She’d prefer to do nothing rather than risking doing something wrong. And she generally tries to ignore any annoyances in her life hoping it will magically disappear – that goes especially for nosy male dogs.  And if anyone tells her off she’s convinced the reprimand wasn’t minded at her. 

It is said that a springer loves food, but Tinka simply blows the scale. Only when we’re out doing field work is she able to think about something but food. But the rest of the time she’ll do her best working her springer-charm and those sad, but irresistible spaniel eyes, and will aim it at any person in her vicinity.

Tinka is everything I expect a springer to be. Sweet, sociable, mild, and easy going. But also with an incredible sense of smell, and a love for the outdoors. And even though she’ll always find her way through any muddy puddles and loves going for a swim, she’ll refuse to go for a walk if it is raining.
