Hi adie
Glad you posted on the board and see you have had great advice from other members.
Personally I think you have think what sort of cocker you want! :? Sounds a strange statment I know but you ask a breeder of a show cocker compared to a breeder of working cockers what the dogs are like you will have 2 completely different answers and sometimes build and look. breeding over the years have shaped the dogs into the ideal dog for the job either show work or pet. I'm not saying one or the other won't do just some breeders try to get particular traits in the breeding, best thing to do from my opinion is ask around use the info on this board as it is priceless.
Oh don't rush your decision he/she will be with you for along time to come.
good luck in your search
