We have only been showing our cocker Archie for about 8mths, so am still a novice, But I have had some wonderful advise from breeders in the breed. Two in particular have been wonderful and supportive, even though archie didnt come from their kennels.(dont know if I can name names on the site).
We had met some wonderful people not only from the cocker breed.
Up to now we have only come across one horrible person and unfortunatly she was a cocker person.
So I hope we have many more happy years of showing this wonderful bred (win or lose I take the best dog home)
P>S Good luck to everyone showing on Thursday
