How to Groom a Springer Spaniel Pup
Grooming springer spaniels is relatively easy to do when compared to some breeds. It is an important part of looking after your springer spaniel pup. Not only the obvious - keeping his fur gleaming and brushed, and his nails trimmed, but the process of grooming is pleasurable (mostly) for the pup. During this process, you will be talking to him and increasing his bond with you; also giving him a physical checkover. He will be learning to be handled and to develop trust in you.
Plenty of Praise
Restlessness will be an issue - he will not yet be fully trained and getting him to be still will not be easy at first. Regular grooming is important, and if you include with this the commands such as sit and stay, it also reinforces his early training. He will eventually learn to sit still and enjoy it.
Importantly, during the process you examine the pup closely and check for ticks, scratches, dirty ears, damaged pads, swollen leg joints and so on.
Any dead hair can be removed with your finger and thumb, though there will not be much dead hair in the early days.
Grooming the Ears
With springers, their ears will often get wet at the ends when eating wet food, so washing the ears will be necessary. It also gets him used to having his ears handled - they need to be checked regularly with springer spaniels as they love mud and water and can be susceptible to ear problems. The length of hair is not a problem on young pups, but will need attention as he gets older. Remember, plenty of praise and soothing talk helps when dealing with sensitive areas.
Get a soft brush for grooming your pup - it will not pull at his coat or hurt his skin. A stiff brush may be invigorating for an older dog, but pups have to learn with the soft brush first, and of course, to sit still whilst being brushed.
Nails
As to nails, they need to be trimmed regularly; they will be either black or white. With white nails the quick and blood supply are easily visible and so it's obvious how far back they can be trimmed. More care is required with black nails. Occasionally, you may draw blood. It's not pleasant for either of you, but will soon stop. Nails are trimmed using guillotine clippers. Most pet shops will have them. Plenty of praise and encouragement goes a long way as he learns to have his paws attended to.
Dew claws should have been removed.
Paws
At this stage it is also a good idea to trim around the shape of the paw with a straight scissors if the hair is too long. Hold the paw and scissors so that the scissors point down and away from the paw and leg.
Feathering
The feathering of the coat, a marked feature of springer spaniels, will not yet be very developed, but get the pup used to having its feathers combed. The feathering below the breastbone, and down between the front legs, on the quarters, front legs and tummy, is not usually trimmed on a pup.
They will soon get used to the routine and enjoy most parts of it, and so should you.

Please help with bio lab..my kids are sick and I work at night..?
which would be easier to get rid of in a flock of chickens, a recessive allele for erect combs, or a dominant allele for feathered legs? why? how many generations would it take?.....
THANKS a frustrated mom and new/old student!!!
It's not hard to breed chickens that will MOSTLY not have the recessive trait of erect combs, but if you try to eliminate it entirely, you'll have to wait several generations to be sure no chicken is heterozygous for the erect comb trait, and then you could have an "oops!" If you get lucky and choose a hen and a rooster both homozygous for droopy combs (why would you want to do that???), your problem is solved. But how do you know? If you get half-lucky and breed a homozygous chicken for the dominant trait with a heterozygous chicken, all the chicks will have droopy combs, but half will be carriers for the recessive trait, and you'll have no way of knowing which chicks they are.
If you breed two chickens with smooth legs, however, they are both homozygous for the recessive trait, and have no chance of producing offspring with the dominant allele for feathered legs. You can see in that first generation that you've successfully eliminated the dominant allele in your new flock, unless someone was flying over the coop at night!
(Fee, try again. You started out thinking straight, but concluded a little crooked.)
Hope your children recover quickly! Good luck!
