After 7 and a half weeks we've finally got our orange-roan home!

We've called her Rhona and I'm very proud to say that all her business activities have been on the newspaper. She's sooo adorable one minute she'll be bouncing around dead hyper and the next shes on the floor fast asleep. I'll do my best to try and get a photo on the site as soon as possible.

But really this is just a thank you post for everyone, especially Jane, for all your help and advise in finding our newest member of the family.

Thanks again Marylee xx

your pup is the same age as ours. And ours is an Orange Roan too...

Can't wait to see a pic of her.

at the moment Orange Roans are like Gold-dust. We had a nightmare to find one. Theere are breeders out there though you just have to be prepared to travel a distance and wait until one is born.

You find you pretty much have to get on a list before they are even born just to reserve one.

When we were looking we did find various breeders but all had slight thi8ngs that stood in our way eg the pups had a tail or they came microchipped and the breeder chose to do it - it wasn't a personal choice and you had to pay their price.

In the end we found one though  ;D

My Paddy has a tail and I think it looks great, especially as it's starting to feather and when he's excited (which is most of the time) it looks fab, even when he's wagging it soaking wet and splashing the kids  ;D

I love cockers with tails, nothing better than seeing that little babys tail wagging, although I had a hard time finding one that was not docked.

;DYes Indie has a tail too!!  I was so pleased about that, I don't agree with docking in pet dogs only working dogs, where the tail may be damaged.  Nothing nicer then a dog with a waggie tail ;D  And boy does Indies tail wag, especially when she gets a whiff of her fave treat "puffed pigs snout" ;)

Come on guys - let's not turn this into an anti-docking debate ;) We all love our Cockers whether they have long or short tails :) Snoop has every right to say he prefers a docked Cocker just as you have every right to prefer a long tailed Cocker but as the whole subject has been covered more than a few times before, let's leave it there please :)
