Title: Hi
Post by: 100cents on June 11, 2004, 07:20:18 AM

Just wanted to say hi and warn you that I'm probably going to be on here asking loads of questions!  I've owned dogs before - labxcollie, Jack Russell and a sheltiexlab but hopefully on Saturday we're going to be collecting a 4yr old rescue cocker named Dollar. As I've never owned a cocker spaniel before I've asked around and been recommended this forum.
Really hoping that we're going to be lucky enough to be his new owners as I think he's going love where we live .  There are open fields and rivers to the back of us.

Congratulations!!  You must let us know how your first weekend goes - at least you can walk him in that wonderful countryside you described!!  We can't wait until our 8 week old is big enough for walks - before he destroys our garden completely!!!  Have fun and keep in touch!   :D

Thanks everyone.  Really looking forward to seeing the little chap tomorrow.  Jo - Iwent through pretty much the same thing with my old dog who was a sheltiexlab who specialised in a wall of death routine around the lounge :D .  I was so glad when he'd had all his injections and could take him out for walks which a least wore him  out - a bit!

Hello and welcome to COL  :D

Guess the fields and river might swing it for Dollar if he's got anything to say about things!

Looking forward to seeing photos.

err He's a lemon something.  Still learning about the colours at the moment.  Don't know  the difference between lemon and white and lemon roan. Dollar originally came from working stock but didn't like it that the labs got all the attention :lol: Second home -  the family dumped him at the boarding kennels we got him from because he snapped when a child fell on him when he was asleep.  He met some children round Pets at Home yesterday though and was a little angel.
Took him out for a bit longer walk round the woods near the fields and showed a great deal of interest in the most digusting ditch in the area!
