Two rough, tough springers out on a moorland ramble! This beautiful photograph was taken on Ilkley Moor in February 2004, and sent to me by these young ladies' owner, Richard Tolson.

Stella (on the left) is 9 months old, and Kim (on the right) 11 months - cousins, with just 8 weeks difference in age.

Richard says “they are always play-fighting, but great company for each other... They both love walking and are from a working background, which is clear to see when they're out, as they show all the instincts of their breed.”
