Welcome Janey -

I found my pup after 4 months of searching and he will be coming home in just over 5 weeks!! COL is totally addictive - I find myself on here in the evenings, during most of the day, however I am sure most of that will change when little pup is taking up most of my spare time!!! :) :)

Regarding your pups name - have you any idea where you want to start? Do you want the name to relate to the colour, I found that looking on baby naming websites really helped me get inspiration!

No doubt will speak to you more when the little one arrives! Good Luck

Hi Janey,
welcome to col, its very addictive here!  I have a black boy called Ben, he is 3 now.  feeling very broody for a new pup, making it much worse reading all about lucky people getting their pups.

Is yours a boy or a girl?

what about
Inca
Ebony or Jet?

Hi Janey and welcome to COL. My name is Kate and I have a black 5 month old little boy called Sam. COL has been a great help for me, there are so many people to help with your problems and give advice but most of all it's just nice to find somewhere where there are like minded people who love their doggies.....

I bet you're so excited about bringing your puppy home.....

What about Ellie, Tara, Bella, Lucy, Holly...just trying to think of names that your daughter may approve of.

I didn't have the naming problem as my friend who I got sam off had given all the pups names but she was very fond of Sam and spent quite a lot of time with him so he had started to recognise his name by the time we got him. Anyway, it was a good thing because 5 kids (2 only part-time, belong to OH) couldn't agree on a name ......  ;)

Hi. Welcome to col. I bet you can hardly wait! I have a working cocker called Fern. She will be 7 years old in June (but thinks she is 2). What about calling her Bramble, Plum or Cherry?

Hi Janey
I am new to this too - just putting my comments on and must have been on at the same time as you!
Lucky you, getting your puppy so soon. It looks like we are going to be waiting until next year.
Best of luck!
How about Jet for a  black puppy or maybe Ebony?
I always have trouble finding a name for puppies - ours are Meg and Suki and we had a Westie named Scruffy.
Meg was named after my godmother Margaret who gave us the money for her, and Suki is a Saluki cross, so her name came from that! 
You could always be really weird and call him Snowy!!!!!
Best of luck....

Hi and welcome i'm fairly new to this site as well. I have a 14 month old black cocker boy name Murphy and on Saturday he'll have been with me for a year!!

I like the names Ebony, Lottie and Maisy, I think they are nice girly names.  :D

Good luck for when you pick her up, i bet you can't wait!!!!!!

Today must be the day you are collecting your little girl!
Best of luck and please let us know how you get on in the first few days (if you have time to log on!)
When you have a new human baby, people tell you to sleep when baby sleeps.  Perhaps with a Cocker baby the advice should be to log on to COL when pup is asleep? :005:
Hope you can put pictures on soon.

Hi Janey

I got my puppy last *** (* wks today) she's a working cocker called ****. She's in my arms as I type this as she keeps going for all the cables!! >:D  

Don't believe anyone who says it's easy!! I'm still trying to prepare a stew to go in oven, which I intended doing when I got up at 6am with madam here!!!  She's a good time waster :luv:

She is so tired but determined not to stay in her bed in the day unless you stay in the same room!!  I was hoping to get the camera set up on the computer today to put on a picture of her, but **** has had other ideas of how to spend my day off!
I'm lucky I work * nights a wk and only one of the days I'm trying to sleep and look after her as OH here with her the others.

How about Bracken or Bramble ?

Good luck with names and your best bet I've found is to prepare your home as if you were having a crawling baby around,

Or how about 'Mischief' I'm sure she'll get into a load like this one here!!

hi cazza.your day seems a mirror image of mine.up at crack of dawn,and never seeming to get things done.yes its just like having another baby!molly is 9 weeks old today too.she went and had her first needle today,although the breeders vet had given her one already,my vet said they like to start over again.she was very brave,and soon showed off to the vet how sharp her teeth were by biting buttons on my jacket.we lost a pup to parvo a few months ago,only had her 3 days before she was taken in at the vets,so i am a little paranoid with molly but she is so different,full of beans.
