I ask every cocker owner I meet the same question - and get the same answer  :005:

Daisy was a grotty teenager until the age of about 16/17 months, definitely had her baseball cap on backwards, spitting in the street,swearing at old ladies - general stuff really  ph34r ph34r :005:

Then I suddenly noticed that I wasn't quite so exasperated as i had been before.  She still has 'moments'  where 'recall' becomes an unknown word (as witnessed by the members on the NF COL walk when the pheasant was much more exciting then me!!(what has my life come to when I'm being compared to a pheasant by a cocker ph34r))

So I would say by the age of 2 you should start to see a difference!  As for the mad 8 yr old - I wonder if he gets enough exercise and stimulation??  Daisy is mental - like the duracell bunny goes on and on and on, but if she's had a good walk, some decent grub and a belly rub she is not hyper and will often fall asleep  :luv: :luv: :luv:

So I reckon Dill is about 8 months old.......................................................................................................................



















12 MORE MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH




just kidding - he's bloody lovely (even compared to a ferret   :luv: :luv: :luv: :luv: :luv: :luv: :luv: :luv:

So when does this 'Kevin' stage start? I hope OH doesn't see this - his name is Keven  :005: Pepsi is 15 months and apart from being really exxcitable when when we get visitors and being generally a Cocker she's really not too bad. I certainly don't feel exasperated by her  :D
