We have just got home from visiting Buffy.  I can't believe how much she has changed in one short week! :luv:
She is so confident and outgoing, trotting out to see us with no fear at all (mind you she is only 4 weeks old, so I guess she is a bit young to be scared!)  We are very glad that now the pups' personalities are starting to show, we are still happy with our choice.  It is a bit scary at 3 weeks as apart from markings, there is not much to go on.  Now they are up and about and we are really pleased we chose her (or she chose us!)
Her mum is as adorable as before, and was really pleased to see us.  There was one pup who Dominic liked today but that was because it stayed in the bed for the longest time and was last one out to come and see us - its markings were cute, but we are still pleased with our selection of Buffy! 
She was happy to be cuddled and Dominic was over the moon when he called her and she came to him (You and I both know she only went to him because he was on the floor patting the  ground, but will let him think she is starting to learn her name  :005:)  She was climbing all over Trev and Dominic and I was taking photos.  Then I suddenly realised it was almost time to go, so I gave up clicking and got down to the serious business of cuddling her!  She is soooooo cute.  Kept nibbling my ear and licking.  Her tail never stopped wagging the whole time.
We are going back to see her next Sunday, which is lovely because it is mother's day and not going to be an easy day for me, but luckily her breeder is happy for us to visit whenever we want.  (She is very lucky that she lives an hour and a half away, or I would be there every night!)
Anyway, I know you wanted pictures, so hope these work.

She's just darling! What a beautiful little face!  :luv: :luv:

Sounds like she's going to keep you on your toes if she's escaping and stealing food at 4 weeks!  :005:

Wow - she's a real cutie :luv: Even with Ellie at nearly 6 months just looking at Buffy makes me want another one - now!
Hope the days don't go too slowly 'til she arrives.

Naturally when I was at Crufts yesterday I told anyone who might be interested (and a few who might not!) that we would be collecting our Cocker in just over 3 weeks.  One lady who had cockers was very interested and asked about her colouring, breeding etc.  When I said she was black and white, she asked if her facial markings were symmetrical.  I said they are not quite, and she said she would not do well in the show ring.
Now I am only planning to do companion and fun shows, but had thought I might take her along to a couple of "real" shows as she will be my only pedigree dog (nothing against companion and fun shows, cos we love them and they are our hobby, but just thought I might do the "real" type occasionally with Buffy! :005:)
Is this lady right?  Will she never get anywhere if her markings are not symmetrical?
I have yet to watch the video of Crufts with Cockers so am a complete novice because the only cockers we have ever watched at "real" shows have been blue roans, so black and white is new to us.
Any advice from anyone who knows!
Having said that, I honestly don't mind if it means we can't go into breed shows - as I said we love our companion and fun shows - just wondering aloud really!

I don't think that's right but someone on COL will know for sure  :D

Was it the lady on the discover dog stand with the two cockers by any chance ??
