Four Paws: Holly, wonderful special cocker pup
« on: December 28, 2010, 07:16:18 PM »
The best I can do for now - will enlist help tomorrow to get more pix of her


Breed: Cocker spaniel
Age: 18 weeks old (was 8 weeks old at 1st vax on 28/10)
Dog Friendly: Yes
Cat Friendly: Yes (but being a pup may chase)
Child Friendly: Yes
Fostered: Cardiff

Holly is a very sweet (but can be timid) cocker spaniel girl, and she is also partially sighted.

We want to rehome her with another older (not another pup though) sighted dog, especially as her sight may deteriorate. A lot of things scare her at the moment so am gently socialising her. Her greatest love is to run around on the park offlead and then cwtch up with you.

She may go blind but 1st and foremost she is a puppy and a cocker spaniel so will have needs applicable to her age, breed and other abilities (or lack of).

It is a condition of adoption that she is spayed at six months old

She is currently living with her sister Ellie, 2 other cocker spaniel adults and 5 cats.
However, we do not rehome 2 puppies together so both of these cocker pups will be rehomed separately.

Please put in an application in the first instance if you are interested in Holly.  Approved applications will be home checked.

Details of our adoption procedures and adoption application form are  here

Jan 2011 Update
These pups are fantastic and typical cockers - their eyesight isn't really too much of a problem at the moment, mostly because they don't let it be (and neither do I) + even if they do go blind early in their lives they will cope very well with it and have as normal a life a cocker should have.
As all pups are they're into everything and think life's wonderful. They love other dogs, kids, people, everyone they meet on their walks. Their recall is good when out and about - they're always offlead on the park.

 :005:  You should worry - NOT!

They are beautiful pups and both deserve the best home possible.  Partially sighted or blind cockers cope very well with the help of a steady older companion, I'm sure they will both find the perfect home.

Holly is still looking - such a shame that I get all the puppy snuggles and no one else does ;)

The delightful Holly is now reserved and if the homecheck is passed she will be going to live with another cocker girl we met yesterday sometime during February
