Now Christmas is all but over, I am going to make a determined effort to try and locate what will probably be my last cocker (which saddens me). I was 80 in June gone, and have had 10 (show) cockers over nearly 50 years so definitely too old to change breeds; I often say next time I come, I'll go for a different breed but I don't think that would happen as, although I love all dogs, cockers have my heart. I lost my darling Nina (approaching 14) in May 21 with Cushing's disease and now have just Matte who will make double figures in May 22. Obviously, I am not looking for a puppy but a senior around 4 - 7, preferably a bitch (I found of all the pairs I've had, female/male worked the best). I thought of perhaps signing up for fostering with Spaniel Assist and Spaniel Aid, and have just found a new to me one called 2nd Chance Cockers (from abroad??). I am still very active and have a park on my doorstep. I wonder how much my age will go against me? I would appreciate any comments. x
