More about Tim

Tim is a Sprocker spaniel, that’s 50% working Springer Spaniel and 50% Working Cocker Spaniel. He was born in Berkshire, the youngest of 8 puppies in the litter. Tim was very much the runt of the litter and was tiny when born and not breathing. His human Mum got him breathing and temporarily named him Tiny Tim. He was hand reared and got very used to being handled and carried around. We kept the name Tim but dropped the Tiny bit as he is no longer Tiny, which is challenging as he still thinks he should be cuddled and carried around. Like all spaniels, Tim is energetic, enthusiastic, and always on the go. He loves search training as he gets to run through the woods springing over the undergrowth in search of people and his liver cake reward, which he is obsessed with. His favourite toy is a soft caterpillar toy which carries around everywhere. Tim enjoys running with his dad and chasing sun reflections, an obsession he has developed but will never succeed at. Tim is fast, friendly, energetic, enthusiastic, and very very loving. He passed his fast-track Level 3 qualification at the first attempt in April 2021.
