New puppy
« on: January 19, 2012, 11:47:29 AM »
hello everyone,
 my name is Mick and in a few weeks i will be picking up my Cocker pup. I cant wait! Ive not owned a dog for nearly ten years and the decision to own another  has been discussed between my wife and i on and off for a couple of years now. But i think we we were finally swayed by my 7 year old daughter who ever since she could talk has wanted a puppy. :lol:
  Ive gone for a working strain dog as although he will be a family pet i would also like to train him a little to retrieve as i shoot a fair bit. Ive added a pic of little Louie at only four weeks old. Hes a little cracker :D

Hello and welcome Mick!  You're right, he is a cracker :luv:  Odie is our 2 year old golden show boy.  Hubby and I waited until our 2 daughters were over 5 before we got him and it's great to see them all playing together :luv:  Enjoy the forum, lots to read and join in on.  Lesley

He looks like a good healthy chunky pup on that photo.

I bet these few weeks wait will be killers.

It was 12years since we'd had a dog before we got our puppy and I tell you it's lovely to have a dog again.

Hi and welcome! You will find so much support on here as I did myself when we got Clover, our first dog in over 15 years, back in July. I expected a bumpy ride, and there were times in the early weeks when I wondered if I had done the right thing,  :005:  but mostly she has been a little star  :angel: and I can't imagine not having her now. She makes me smile a million times a day! I'm looking forward to seeing more pics and hearing all about little Louie when you get him!

Hi and welcome, you are right he is a little cracker  :luv:

Time goes so slow when waiting to bring them home.  :-\

We have a 13 month old working strain golden cocker and she is everything we could have hoped for and more.

Enjoy the forum, its pretty addictive you know....  ;)
