New to cockers, hello!

[Bentalls]

Hi All    Joined today, nice to 'meet' you all, and I am sure I will be soaking up information like a sponge from here!  Lots of great stuff to get my teeth into, and have already started using 'cockerdile' (love it, it's so apt) from seeing it...I'm glad mine is not the only one   We have a 17 week old boy, Monty, he's chocolate with a white chest - or is it liver?  I also have a springer, and he's liver and white, so I'm not sure whether the terminology is the same!  Anyway, Monty is in full-on cockerdile stage, all teeth at present, and googling brought me here to COL.  I have experience of spaniels but it's been a good 7 years since I had to deal with the puppy stage so am a tad rusty.  Any advice greatfully received

hi to you and Monty and honorary cocker aka springer of no name. 
look forward to Monty's norty tales and your " pulling your hairout"  moments.  Strange how we forget about the puppy times, we never remember how  it was.
your first major job is to post photos of pup and his bro so we can see what we " the family" are dealing with

Thanks!  Honorary cocker aka Springer is Frodo, he is 8 and grumpily coming to terms with the fact that the ball of energy and teeth seems to be staying...I shall pootle over to the photo bit and see if I can figure out how to post some    I have managed an avatar of the pupster, of which I am rather proud
