Hi Tess,
I'm quite new here too, and again not too far from you,another one who's just up the M42 in Leicestershire. We often pop to Tamworth to do a bit of shopping. In fact we were at Kingsbury Water park at the beginning of the week.
I don't mean to hijack your thread but I'm curious about the difference between working and show cockers. We weren't told what Poppy is, in fact I just thought she was a pet! Enlightenment would be most welcome.
