I've kind of done this back to front as already put a couple of posts in the puppy section before noticing this introductions bit! Have to say though, this site is a godsend. I'm so glad I found it!
We're a family of 5 humans - me (Vanessa), OH (Rob) & 3 sons (Dan, 17. Jake, 12. Alex, 4). We have 2 doggy friends - Mindy (3yr old liver & white working cocker bitch) & Darby (8 week old, mainly black with a white bib & paw, working cocker bitch).
We're very green where training is concerned. We don't have much of a clue. We've just been very, very lucky that Mindy turned out to be such a sweetheart. Gentle, placid, well behaved & really sociable. We want to make sure we get things right with Darby & not just leave it to chance so I've already spent hours reading on here & have learnt so much about cockers it's incredible!
Darby had her 1st jab yesterday & will be able to go out in 3 weeks. We've already got training & socialisation booked for both girls. Until then (& probably long after) I'll be relying on all the great advice & experience offered on here.
Wow, that was long-winded! Sorry!
