More: I grew up with 2 springers (Katie and Lillie), back in 2000 my dad wanted “the Orvis dog” for our family dog. They were both so special and there for me always. As an adult I have my own Springer, Rosie, who carries their spirit, mine, and her own. I am always my happiest when outside with her, watching her be an Orvis dog, in her true element.
