Warning *Rant needed for sanity*
We took Maisie for her second cut yesterday. Her first session was just a bath and puppy tidy up, she came back clean and tidy but it struck me that the length of her ears was a bit short but I was wasn't too concerned so off we took her again yesterday.
However when we collected her, apart from ridiculously short ears 'again' she didn't look very different. I asked when she would be able to have a 'proper' cocker cut and was told NEVER because she wasn't a show cocker but a 'mixture of everything' and the only cut she could have was one to keep her tidy
Despite my disagreeing with her, she was adamant she was correct and that Maisie was basically a mongrel spaniel. My hubby took over then (think he recognised the stabby and killy look on my face), paid and we left.
It's left me upset and doubting now what my little girl really is.
I know it doesn't make any difference because I adore her but a so called expert has put a seed of doubt in my head that I haven't got the show cocker I've always wanted.
