    Hi there - we recently bought an English Springer Spaniel pup. We knew in advance that she was not IKC registered. I've just found out that her dad IS registered. Does anyone know if I can register her with the IKC with just this?
    Thanks.

    No, unfortunately both parents need to be registered with the ikc and to my knowledge it needs to be done by the breeder

    OK. Thank you. Do you know if it's possible for me to still enter my dog for competitions etc.

    Have you considered agility?
    Springer scan be great at agility, and there are lots of clubs and competitions.
    You just have to start with basic training and when the dog is older 8months to a year I think, start the agility training.
    Great fun too, there are also obedience competitions.

    Thank you mymo. Agility is exactly what I'm hoping to do, just not sure where to start. Can you recommend any clubs? We're starting puppy training this weekend, so hopefully the trainer there will able to advise too.

    Ask around your area,mothers are lots of clubs, but the dog has to be over a certain age to start, finished growing I think as it's hard work and you don't want to damage joints in a growing pup. Some boardsies do agility so maybe ask in a new thread.

    But obedience can start from the day the dog arrives, work on getting eye contact, the basic commands, recall, and get the advice of an agility club on where to go from there
