Gotta say Gill, your cockers are in cracking shape! My vet would LOVE those two. Betty would look like a right chunk next to 'em!
Betty got scalped once at a groomers, what they call a 'cocker cut'. When I picked her up, I didnt say anything, just paid and fled the scene, chicken I know, but I was gobsmacked, and quite devistated. Her hair grew back in no time, but alot curlier, she had these kinda flicky bits sticking out all over.
Now have a fab groomer who listens to what I ask for, and shes got her lookin great again!
Just enjoy the hastle free walks for the next few weeks! No twig, leaf, sticky bud, dried on mud removal required!
