Hi, Just in case you need a laugh read on, entered Kody in obedience trial Friday night he already has one pass. Heal work 20 out of 30 (it was actually quite bad I think the judge was being very generous) Stand for exam 10 out 10 by now I'm getting a bit nervous as this means we are through to groups (stays) his recall is always good. Set him up, judge says call your dog and he ran pass me to say hello to a border collie out of the ring
I just stood there stunned
then I called him again, he was like a bullet straight in front of me head up almost touching my legs, bum down shame it was too late, we were disqualified for him leaving the ring.(I had comments later saying what a stunning recall) As I came out of the ring my exact words who wants a cocker!!!
wouldn't trade him for the world maybe a title but not the world. I'm sure the devil takes over his body,
or should I say brain. By the time I got home I was laughing, having a cocker is good for you stops you taking it all to serious, little b--ger . Interested to know how old other obedience cocker's are in the UK, he is only 2 and after taking to a friend with cocker's she said boys go silly (or the devil takes over at around 18 months till about 3) Considering easing off the obedience for a while sticking to flyball until he matures, the other cocker in our obedience level is 6 years old. Is that when they calm down enough to stop thinking of naughty things to do instead of what is asked, or is obedience just to boring for a cocker so they have to liven things up. Or should I just keep on, as he does know what to do as proved maybe he just has a wicked sense of humor.
