Hi my springer is 7 months old and has the last 3 days started to run off with the kids cuddly toys and cuddles up to them in her bed she has also been crying and whining,she is due for her first season could this be anything to do with her hormonal changes?

Hi Sally it's probably due to her coming into season, although i would of expected that sort of behaviour couple of months after her season.  I'm sure someone else will might of experienced this.

Warm regards Susan

It sounds as though she's coming into season. Stop her taking away the toys, and force her to behave as normal. It's cruel in the short-term but kind in the long-term.
