thank you both so much. i was confused as i have never owned a cocker before and then i began meeting lost of other cocker owners when out walking and i could see a physical difference in show and working types but one lady says that Popy is a working cocker but i don't totally agree as she seems to have more feathers to her hair and longer ears than a typical working cocker.
hmmm....you'll find when you go walking that a lot of people know more about your dog then you do
i think that you'll have to do the nodding, smiling and agreeing thing to this lady's face, and wander off knowing that she really doesn't know your dog at all.
that's what i do when i'm told my dog is not a working cocker, he's a springer spaniel, or a small pointer
