Hello :)

I'm Emma and have an almost 3 yr old black worker- Tilly, this site is great and makes you feel like you're never alone when things are tough!

Have you got any pictures? X

Hello and welcome to the forum - it's the best place for advice and is full of really helpful people.

Congrats on your pup - I have 2 workers, one black girl called Roxy and one chocolate boy called Bobby. They certainly keep me on my toes!

Word of warning though - this site is totally addictive  ;)

My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dogs think I am.

Thanks to you both.  I have been browsing dog and puppy forums for weeks and really can't wait to bring her home.  Although we are being updated on a weekly basis with photos I will wait til we bring her home before posting one - don't want to jinx anything!
I have already read loads of helpful advice and am sure to be hooked by the time we pick her up!

Hello. I'm Diana and I have to confess to being a COL addict. I warn you, you'll become addicted too. I have just become mum to Rory, a six months old white and black ticked show Cocker boy. Like you, I spent months looking and can't believe I finally have a dog. He's not coming home till early December as I'm having work done to the house so I am visiting him and drooling aver his photos! :happydance:

OOO how exciting!!! Congratulations :D

We have had our pup for 8 days now and my biggest but of advice would be to take time off work to get toilet training sorted, LOTS of kitchen roll and lots of wine!  :005:

Its a joy and so much fun! Have you a name for your pup?!

Congratulations! You must be very excited.  We have Tia a black and tan girl and Jake a chocolate boy, they are both working/show cross.  Look forward to your updates and some pictures later on.

Hi Buzby - and everyone else on the forum. I'm new to the board and new to the Cocker spaniel breed!
We also bring home our beautiful puppy in December. She's a chocolate bitch, working strain. Looking forward to introducing her to everyone very soon.
