I thought I saw him on MT and it said he was a collie/cocker cross??

no history on him joules, he's a poundie so their guess is a cross because of his 'unusual' colouring

to me & penel he looks full working cocker - his shape fits, head, ears as well, fur/feathering is right  -  think he's a a blue roan and tan (we of course could be completely wrong!)

The thing about poundies is that its hard to know for sure - and anyway who CARES, hes gorgeous  :luv:

.....as for the oh, show him the picture....how can he resist that beautiful dog!?

He's just walked in from work - and successfully resisted  :'( He's not swayed by public opinion, either - he's the practical one and highlights all the disadvantages of two dogs :(

I would suggest they don't know what they are looking at.

Well, I guess they don't see many dogs!!  :shades:  In the pic on the MT website he does look more lanky and collie-like though and his colouring is unusual for a cocker.

Well surely you could sneak in an OES without anyone noticing?  He won't take up much room after all  :005: :005:  Poor Porridge, he just needs a loving home  :'( :'(

One of you girls helen, rachel or Lyn will have to give in to your feelings ( just like i have recentley) and go and get him. He is so unusually beautiful.

Sure Porridge wouldn't mind.  He would probably be a bit confused judging by his background if someone started putting ribbons and bobbles in his hair!!  ::) Obviously you would have to use a manly blue dye for him though :005: :005:

Looks like a blue and tan Working Cocker to me too. I guess MT mainly sees the show-type Cockers from puppy farms which is why they've assumed he's a cross as he looks a bit different to what they're used to seeing. Lovely boy though - he won't be waiting long for his new home :D

although i would dearly love to take this boy on my head must rule and i really can't at the moment -  we need to sort out our territorial *issue* between the new rescue dog next door and jarvis (which could be a slow process), and it wouldn't be fair on any of the dogs to take on another boy at this stage  :-\ :'( :'(

Much as I might be tempted to trade my OH for the gorgeous Trivia, I have to hope someone else will offer him a suitable home - for a number of other reasons I am unable to follow my heart on this one  :'(

I am sure such a gorgeous boy won't be waiting long - and hopefully, his new family will let us know how he is getting on  ;)
