"He's a cocker spaniel" !
« on: October 23, 2006, 05:58:11 PM »

Im getting really fed up of people stopping us when we walk Bailey and asking if he's a Rottweiler  >:D (or how ever you spell it)  He's a cocker spaniel and a working cocker spaniel at that! :luv:
In the park, at the shop, even on the farm where my daughter keeps her horse, everyone says how much he looks like a Rotty :005:
He is black and tan and seemingly this is unusual.............wasnt aware of it to be honest, just thought he was the cutest little pup I had ever seen when we picked him :D

So if anyone round my end is on here.................He's a cocker ;) and we  :luv: him loads :005:

worker round here that is black and tan gets called a tall dachsie, a short dobie, a gordon setter, and a  rotty cross

jarv gets called a short red setter, a german shorthaired pointer, a saluki cross ::) amongst other breeds

you'll get used to it ;)

Billy has often been mistaken for a gordon setter  ::) I've even had cocker spaniel owners ask me what breed he is!! They say they didn't know you could have B&T cockers!!  ::)

Dillon is a blue roan, as was the late Bess.  I always have my dogs clipped very short in the summer and quite regularly children would point to my dogs and say something along the lines of  "Look mummy dalmation puppies!"  :005:

Nelly is black & tan & I sometimes call her my little Rottie  ;)

Nooo Lyn.  He's right you know ;)  :005:. According to a lot of the people round here-

This is Heidi our springer and Fern "her pup" ::) .


It didn't get any easier as we let Heidi's feathers grow and Fern reached the wooly mammoth stage...

People were even more convinced and looked at me very doubtfully when I insist she's a working cocker. I can almost hear them thinking "she's obviously a little touched -I shall have to humour her...."  :005:

i have to admit i can't tell the difference between a working springer and a working cocker and i have 2 working cockers but they seem to be the only 2 in this town.working sprigers really do look like working cockers to me :005:
