Well, you will need lots more things, depending on the method you are wanting to groom him. An ESS is correctly groomed by handstripping, carding, and debulking. Doing that will give you the natural flat laying back and head, and the dark liver/black coats. You can clipper the pattern instead, but it won't look as natural. And depending on the coat your dog will have will depend on how you will need to groom him. Some springers (generally the the more correct show lines) will almost grow natural on their own, and need less upkeep than some of the "pet" quality ESS that tend to grow hair like a mammoth! LOL At this point, you have plenty of time to see how his coat grows, and talk to his breeder about how to groom him. I can tell you that you will at least want to shave the inside of the ear around the ear canal, and the top 3rd of the outside of the ear (breed standard) to allow for better air circulation and help prevent those dreaded ear infections. And you will want to keep the pads and toes trimmed to help with cleanliness.
