Hi Welcome to the Forum
We have 2 cockers, one is a blue roan and our recent addition (rescue) is a black and white. I have never come across a more loving breed of dog in my life, you truly couldnt find a more loyal companion.
Fingers crossed that this comes off for you & dont forget to look out for the North West meet ups - we had an excellent one in Bolton last year
you can talk cockers for hours
