Welcome Sam!
I think many of the people who join this site do not yet have a Cocker - but it's not long until they get one!
I used to have a Lurcher Zara and I loved her to bits - she was the ugliest looking girl ever and had a beard - but hey, you could say she had a face only a mother could love!!
I have only been a member for a few months - but I have a Cocker now too. She is a nearly 6yrs old, black & white girl called Sophie who I got from a local breeder in February.
We love her to bits as she is so small and cute - you can see pics of her in the Scottish COL meet thread from Sunday afternoon.
Anyway - you will get used to me rambling!!
Welcome again!
