Chloe would be hopeless.....she could only assist in causing mayhem  ph34r :005:

If a person was in need of mega cocker cuddles and kisses, she would be perfect, other than that....forget it  :005:

Heidi does good "mouth to mouth"  :005:

Hearing Dogs for the Deaf use a lot of cockers  :luv: 

i didn't know that - Marley's very good at barking when the doorbell and phone rings  :D

I don't think making a noise is a lot of help for a deaf person  :shades: :005:

  ;)

ooooops :021:  :D

If it was 'seeing off the poor bloke trying to deliver a leaflet' Tiff would be perfect.

Other than that Tiff would get a 'decline' stamp  :lol2: :lol2:

Really admire dogs that do this tho.  And good on ya for helping out with this  :D

I think Holly would have made a good PAT dog and I now regret not putting her forward. 

Ebony would be good at assisting in the fight against identify fraud as she is very good at paper shredding  :lol2:

I couldn't help laughing at that. :005:

Duggie runs to the phone when it rings, and the door when the bell goes, he might be quite good for a deaf person (if he didn't gnash ankles on the way back. ::))

Both Misha and Roly will run to the cooker when the timer goes off.  Usually there before I've even heard it :D

They'll smell when the food is ready! :005:

Tia sits in the kitchen waiting for food to be cooked, I was making toast, and she came to get me when it popped up! :D Although, I doubt she was giving me actual assistance, she was more likely just hoping for a bit! :005:

Jasmine can empty the tumble dryer, she has had no training for this its just her sock fetish that drives it. However its all dragged into her basket then slept on so not ideal!!!!

They can also fetch the post - then fight over the post - then shred the post!!!  >:(

Cocker Spaniels are like chocolates you can never have just one!

Poppy also does the toast thing! I put some on before work then wander around getting ready. She sits and waits by the toaster and always comes to find me as soon as it pops!
Poppy is now one! Watch her first year!
