English Springer Spaniels as a breed of dog are very intelligent and learn things fast. The Springer is the right choice for either a city or country home because they are so eager to please, loyal and like people. Playful and energetic, the Springer Spaniel can bring its owner many hours of amusement. With proper training the can excel in agility, tracking, retrieving, obedience, hunting, and field trials. They are wonderful with children and are a perfect choice for families. Of course as with any dog breed, children should always be supervised to make sure they are not antagonizing the dog.

Springers are quite friendly, and eager to please their owners. There are people who use the sweet temperament of a Golden Retriever to describe the Springer’s personality. If it is what their families are doing, they are perfectly content with just laying around the house. Human contact helps them to adjust and adapt to different levels of activity. As a breeder we have raised many puppies and we can personally definitely testify to their high levels of affection!

As a breed, the English Springer Spaniel is a medium sized sporting dog, and can weigh anywhere from 35-55 pounds at adulthood. Springers can remain in good health most of their lives which can span 10 to 14 years. There are two types of Springer Spaniels, those that are field bred, and those that are show bred. The field bred variety has a shorter coat and a more active temperament than the show bred variety. Both field bred and show bred Springer Spaniels have docked tails. The difference is, the field bred dogs tail is docked longer. The reason for this is that the tail is an important hunting tool It acts as an alert signal for the hunter.

A purebred English Springer Spaniel has a coat color of either liver and white or black and white. There does exist a tri-color combination in the breed where the coat is black, liver, and white, but it is much more rare and generally requires both the sire and dam to be tri-color also. A white mark down the middle distinguishes them.

If you need a good hunting dog, with plenty of energy, who is ready to sniff out some ‘game’, English Springer Spaniels are the breed for you. Springers are happy to spend all day outside with their masters, they love water and are not particularly sensitive to weather in general. Being a very old breed they have been popular dogs for a long, long time. These dogs are the oldest but best hunting breed around.

I hope this explains why springers are a wonderful fit for a variety of situations, lifestyles and families. We certainly believe and have experienced how these loving animals can find a place in anyone’s heart and home.

When designing jewelry, loose diamonds are the best way to start off. Loose diamonds have a number of advantages over set diamonds.

They can be easily checked for flaws. A diamond laboratory can easily check the quality of the diamond as all sides and the bottom are readily available for inspection and analysis. When a diamond is set then the bottom is often hidden and the prongs or claws can hide flaws.

One can design the type and style of jewelry to suit you around the loose diamonds that you have. One does not have to be satisfied with a setting that is not really suitable.

First one has to get the loose diamonds. This will depend upon your budget and the type and size of diamonds you want. Then deciding on the precious metal to be used for the jewelry. Usually gold or platinum. Platinum is harder than gold but is also twice the price. Gold can come in varying degrees of hardness. 24 karat gold is pure gold and rather soft. Not really suitable for jewelry. 14 and 18 Karat is considered better for jewelry. The gold has been mixed or alloyed with other harder metals such as silver, zinc and sometimes nickel. This makes it more suitable for jewelry. Rings wear out more than other jewelry so this should be taken into consideration.

So having established the quality and amount of diamonds and the precious metal to be used then comes the design. This can be sketched out and then given to a jeweler to make up. Ensure you find a really good quality and honest jewelery, preferably one who is a member of the GIA. Ensure that your diamonds have GIA certificates (or equivalent) and that the diamonds match the certificates. Branded diamonds, although cost more, are better as they have the certificate number etched into the diamond.

Ensure it is very clear with the jeweler exactly what you want and how you want it. Check several times with them until you are completely satisfied.

Most people enjoy giving and getting presents whether it is simply to say thank you or for some sort of special occasion like a wedding or birthday. buying gifts is something that should be thought properly because you want to make sure you get the right present. You could choose to buy a personalised gift like an engraved gift or a personalised mug that says what you want it to. You may choose to get a present that reflects the personality of the person you are getting it for or perhaps you want to show that you pay attention and care by getting them something that they’ve always wanted. Whatever you decide, there are plenty of gift options out there.

For children why not get them a present that educates too. World globes are great for this as they are available in many shapes and sizes and give your child the opportunity to find out more about the world. World globes come in a variety of novelty formats with options such as puzzles that build up to form a map of the Earth.

If you have been invited to a wedding reception then you may want to get a gift that is more appropriate. You can choose anything from men’s and ladies cufflinks to electrical appliances or bathroom appliances such as an electric toothbrush or a teeth whitening kit. Whatever you decide it is best to buy a present that suits the person you are buying it for. If it is for a person you don’t know very well then be sensible and don’t go nuts.
