Lol - that is weird cos that is exactly what I was just doing - running a bath!

Don't know about the glass, might not stop at one - purely for medicinal nerve calming purposes of course!  :P

Well, just thought I would let you all know that we have been unsuccessful this time  :(

The breeder had the dog checked and it seems he may be good for showing after all so she is going to keep him for the meantime (he is only 1yr old so still has a little bit of growing to do).  She was really nice about it and was sorry for building up our hopes - she has kept my details in case her circumstances should change in the future  :(

I am really gutted - but as I said in an earlier post, it obviously wasn't meant to be this time.

I have been back in touch with a CSC rescue rep from the Eastern side of Scotland who I was advised to contact should the breeder pull out.  She seemingly gets a much higher number of older Cockers available for rescue as there are a lot more breeders in the North & East of Scotland for some reason!

So, once again - it's fingers crossed for us!  ;)

Sorry to hear this didn't work out for you.  Where do you live?  Have you ever looked on DogPages to try to find a doggy?  It's a rescue site & Cockers come up for rehoming quite often.  There was one a couple of weeks ago looking for a new home in Scotland, he was a working Cocker though & very lively.

Hi!

Thanks for all your words of encouragement - they have been very much appreciated!  :)

Well, it seems fate is throwing me in all directions as I have had more possible good news from another CSC rescue lady!  ;)

She possibly has a Golden boy, 3yrs old coming in to her who she says is an absolute dream with kids, cats, great in the house, not destructive.....but has one bad point..... :(

He does not like other dogs when he is out walking and barks wildly and tries to run at them - she says that this is something that could be easily be rectified by going to behaviour classes.  This is something that I would have done anyway - but does anyone have any experience of this?  How easy is it to "rectify"?  :(

My son Paul really wanted to do Agility with our new dog, but if I could not sort out the behaviour problem, this would not be a possibility.  

Paul really, really, really wants a Golden cocker - but I was not particularly bothered about colouring as they are just coming to be part of the family - not for showing, breeding etc.

Can anyone offer me some advice - the rescue lady wants me to phone her back tomorrow night to let me know if the dog has been brought into her.  She is giving me first refusal if he is!  :D

Help!!!!  :(

If it were me, I think I would be interested ;) Out of all the problems a dog can have, that one isn't so huge. I would also have thought that with hard work and patience, it could be rectified relatively easily. Maybe if (or should that be when ;) ) you go to meet him, maybe the rescue lady could take you out on a wlak with him so that you can see for yourself how bad it is.  It might be worthwhile to begin with a one-to-one trainer and then progress onto training class. With these sorts of problems, its better to progress slowly rather than throw him in at the deep end.

Failing all that, just send him to me - he'll fit in just fine with my delinquents :lol:

Have just found a really useful page on aggressive dogs (fear related aggression) which is what it sounds as though this golden boy is suffering from.

http://www.doggiedoor.com/aggressi.shtml

I did say to the rescue lady that it sounded as though this dog had suffered some event in its life that was making him fearful when near other dogs - and she agreed and said that with training and time it could be controlled.  :)

I hope so - for whoever takes him to their new forever home  :rolleyes:  

Once again - I will keep you all posted!

not so sure it`s fear related as my dog has that and he`s fine around other dogs and is very submissive to them so never gets into any fights be they minor or not,infact he loves other dogs
