Hi, wonder if anyone can help. I'm helping my mother in her search for a show type cocker spaniel pup. I've just received some updated pictures of puppies we are interested in at 5 weeks and they don't look as 'show' to me as I was expecting. The ears seem quite short and I can't see the classic 'domed head'. I'm wondering if at this age it would be possible to tell? The breeder is very helpful, says they are show type with perhaps a bit of working in the history somewhere. They will be KC registered. Mum looks like a classic show, Dad is apparently show but I've just seen a picture so not 100% sure. We are due to go and visit, obviously, but want to know if there's anything I can look out for. When we bought my mum's last puppy years ago, we were assured she was show but as she grew up it was clear she was more working- we loved her, but Mum wants a classic show type this time. Is there any way to be certain by looking- or, should I request the KC papers in advance, would this help?
Many thanks to anyone who's able to help!
