Hello all spaniel lovers
« on: July 23, 2007, 09:32:44 PM »
Hi everyone, I was really pleased to find col, and have found great advice and tips while waiting to be registered. Looks like I will be down to the pet shop for a whistle and longline tomorrow !!  ::)

I am new to cocker spaniels; I am the proud mummy to Milly (aka Milly munchkin) a chocolate working cocker aged 10 months. I adopted Milly 2 months ago as a companion for my almost 7 year old springer spaniel Paddy who had been very  :'( after his life long soul mate, his mummy left us for the Rainbow Bridge in March.

I am glad to say Paddy has warmed to Milly and they have become great playmates. Milly is very charming and he didn't stand a chance of ignoring her for long   :blink: It's great to see Paddy  :D again.

Milly is just adorable with an infectious cheeky personality, in contrast Paddy is very laid back, with a wicked smile and the largest springer I have ever seen. He could easy pass of a small St Bernard if he had the brandy barrel round his neck  :005:

Unfortunately they are both runners when they get of their leads  :-\, which I intend working on with the whistle and the longline. They are both great when at home, in the garden, or walking to heel. My problem lies in any scent of game, suddenly mummy becomes history  >:D

I look forward to being a member of your col community.

Hi and welcome to COL  :D

I have 3 working cockers, Alfie is 18 months old and blue roan, Tilly is 2 and a half and is solid liver and Rodaidh is 7 months and golden.

To post photos you need to register with a hosting site like Photobucket and upload them on there and then you can paste them across onto the forum.

Hello and welcome. Paddy and Milly look adorable...I love Milly's style  :D and am pleased to hear that they are getting along so well.  I too am new to COL and have been welcomed warmly although my bundle of mischief isn't actually a true Cocker.  This site is just so full of sound Spaniel advice and gorgeous pics  :luv:  Sally is our 12wk old Springer/Cocker cross...& I am wondering if she will grow as big as Paddy one day...big paws!!  He's a bewty, and its interesting to hear you say he is laid back - people had led me to believe that Springers didn't understand the meaning  ;)

We have Sam who is almost 6 months old and he is our Golden boy.
