The Most Beautiful Springer in the World
R.I.P. “Housty Blue Nellie” - “Lucy” (2012 - 2025)
Well of course she was the most beautiful...But then... whichever Springer I've been fortunate enough to have in my life has been...
The Springer I grew up with was black and white like Lucy, and had a spotty nose, so I thought the most beautiful Springers had spotty noses...
The first Springer we owned was brown and white and had a white nose, and suddenly Springers with white noses were now the most beautiful...
Our next Springer was brown and white and had a brown nose, and - yes, you've guessed it - now the most beautiful Springers had brown noses...
As you'll see in the photograph above, Lucy was black and white and had a black nose, so for now, Springers with black noses win the Beauty stakes!
(For the avoidance of doubt, “brown” is known in the trade as “liver”, and “black” is known as “blue”)
