Ginger would also like to thank Santiago Pinto for handling Jura to nine of his minor points. The rest of his points and both majors were owner-handled.
Jura has the quintessential English Springer Spaniel temperament. Kind, accommodating, outgoing, happy. He is friendly, gentle, and appropriate with all dogs, from puppies to other intact males. He has never met an enemy or stranger and greets children with the same delight as adults, tail wagging furiously, eager to play fetch with whatever his current favorite toy of the moment is. He has a natural unending desire to retrieve and a soft mouth.
Conformation
Jura represents what the English Springer Spaniel should be. He has heavy bone and tremendous substance. A stunning spaniel head with proper planes and large, correctly placed teeth in a proper bite. Jura has superb front structure with an upper arm of proper length set into a well-laid back shoulder. He has a deep chest with plenty of lung room for great endurance. His rear is correct, with a good turn of stifle but without the overangulation too often seen in current show dogs. This leads to a beautiful free single track gait with tremendous reach and drive.
Breeding Policy
Jura is available at stud on a limited basis to select bitches. Strong preference will be given to bitches with good energy and drive, working titles in a variety of sports, and the friendly, eager to please, quick to learn, and willing to obey temperament that defines the breed. Complete genetic health screening as well as good conformational structure are also required. If you have a bitch you would like to have considered for Jura, please contact Ginger Huxley.
