I thought I'd enjoy watching the programmes, since there's so little about dogs on TV (and so much about gardens, food, and houses!) but it's a very lightweight thing, so disappointing.  And yet they've got contributions from some good people .... 
 
Surely an audience which can cope with programmes by Brian Cox, Jim Al-Khalili and Ian Stewart could cope with more robust fare? 

:clapping:    I think the same   ;)

I was wondering something similar.  After seeing some recent working class cockers, I thought they looked more like springers, in the facial area.

I love animal programs.  Watched one about dogs and them being able to detect illnesses in humans and letting their owners know that something is wrong.  1 dog kept at his owner, until she went to the dr's and turns out she still had breast cancer.

Doesn't this prove that all Cockers are a class act? - they work very hard at showing us just how brilliant they are.   ph34r
I think it's a very good thing that little Prince George has a Cocker to teach him the important things in life.   :005:

The thing is the general public don't see it like that or take it as 'entertainment' or with a pinch of salt - most believe everything they see or read ....  :shades:
