Toby is adorable and I am converted to cockers in a big way now. He has a fantastic personality. He adores kids and loves playing with them, he plays with the local children at the park as well as my children and he is a real character. He is also a huge cuddle monster, nothing beats having him on my lap snuggling into me sleepily.
I am definitely converted. I adore my English setter Millie, and love lots of breeds, but I have such a soft spot for cockers now and I feel I will always want to have one

I have mostly been a terrier man before little Buster came along.
I wanted another terrier but She Who Must Be Obeyed had designs on a Cocker Spaniel.
Mutuall agreement reached, Cocker Spaniel sourced, and now ??, now our house is a home once more.
I have fallen for Buster in a very big way, his character, his zest for life, his companionship and last but not least, the devotion and love he gives, 24/7.

I could gush for England about Cockers.  They are simply the best dogs in the world.  I got my first blue roan Cocker, Teddy about 33 years ago (we were thinking of getting a Sheltie!!). Despite becoming epileptic from the age of about 8, Teddy lived to the age of 14 & was a wonderful companion.  Teddy was followed by the late, great Robin (the wonderdog). He was an Orange & White & was just soooo special. I lost him 3 years ago yesterday at the age of 15 years 9 months & there isn't a day goes by that I don't think about him.  Whilst we had Robin we acquired Bess who is now very nearly 12, she is the first bitch I have ever had & although I love her to bits, she's very different in nature to the dogs, she's more independent & not as loving or clingy as the boys.  She will allow me to pick her up for a cuddle & will stay on my knee for a few minutes but then when she's had enough she struggles & climbs down.

Last weekend I adopted Dillon. He's about 5 years old & due to an accident in his previous home has only one eye.  He is extremely loving just like the other boys I've had. He's very much a Mummy's boy, as soon as I sit down he's there on my knee, if I'm standing up he climbs onto the back of the nearest chair & nudges my hand so that I stroke him, he just loves attention & is a real cuddle monster.  He likes nothing better than to climb on my knee & sleep whilst I'm watching television in an evening. Although I've only had him a week, I can't now imagine life without him. He had a little fight with Bess last week over a Bonio & it worried me to death for a couple of days but now everything has settled down & I have a wonderful, beautiful pair of blue roan cockers of whom I am very proud.

OK - gush over.  It's someone else's turn to gush now.
