Hi Maria & Blue,

If you know Emma you are probably quite local to me in Wigan  :D

Our boy is Billy and he's a three year old Blue roan.

Aren't cockers addictive, we are also debating as to whether to get another :D

Welcome to COL. I knew someone once who had a blue roan cocker called Bluey and his pal was a golden called......yep, you guessed it, Goldie :D

One bit of advice I would give you re getting another puppy is to wait a bit longer :wink:  Its generally recommended to leave at least an 18 month gap in between them so it cutrs down the chance of any rivalry. My two youngest are only 5 months apart and they are hard work so be prepared!!  When they are pals they are best pals but when they are not, they are  :twisted:

Hope you enjoy the site and find it useful.

Welcome Maria & Blue

Nice to have you with us.

I would just like to echo Gill's good advice about not adding another Puppy until Blue is around 18 months old, by this time you will have him perfectly trained :wink: which will make him a great role model for your new addition.

just to thank you all for the lovely welome you've given me and a big thank you for the advise about getting a new playmate for my blue, :D it's very much appreciated and we are going to wait until blue is older before we take the plunge, :(  but you know what they say - good things come to those who wait! :D
