The Cocker Greeting

[kookie]

al mine do it except Cleo, and its sooo funny to watch them try to find something if there is nothing at hand, Alfie and April usually are greeting you togeher with the a bit of the same thing stuffed in their mouths.
Ive been greeted with allsorts from an item of washing, to a tin of beans, (Cleo used to open the kitchen cupboard doors when we were out, so the cockers had loads of tins to choose from)

Thanks for all your replys and I agree with you it is a lovely greeting, especially combined with the cocker waddle that Shadow is also a dab hand (bottom) at

I think it's a cocker thing! 

Totally agree  All four of mine greet us with either a soft toy or something when we get up,when we come back from being out shopping   
Buster though always steals whatever the girls have in their mouths,so he is usually walking round with four soft toys hanging from his mouth

[Terri Carpenter]

Holly does it - she runs round in a panic until she finds the right toy and then shows it to you while doing the cocker wriggle.

Pippa and Sadie only do it occasionally - Sadie always makes me laugh because she tries to bark - not so easy with a toy in your mouth

[mikenlisa]

Bertie does this too, he picks up the nearest thing to him and he paces up & down, bending his body and wriggling his bum at the same time, breathing like a horse Poppy just looks at him as if to say, what on earth are you doing, you weirdo

My Daisy does this every morning and whenever I've been out  ..usually with her teddy ..but if not anything thats handy    Georgie does'nt do it.

[ruby ruby doo]

Yeeah Ruby does it too!!!   along with the dememted singing with her mouth full!! and yes with nothing to hand she will take a large towell out with her instead !! don t mind the early wake up call cos she is so sweet!!

[kalami]

Aww Bella doesn't do that 

[kellyjayne]

Yep, toby greets me with a toy in his mouth (sometimes two!) It's very cute at 5.30 in the morning when I get up for work

[Linz13]

Yip, Murphy does it and Maddi is starting to.  Parading aroung grunting like a bull!

As many of you have already said, it is one of the loveliest things in the world a cocker running toward you with a toy in its mouth and tail going faster than anything!  (Could we harness this power for a new power source - all that re-newable energy, forget your wind farms!!) 

[chickrockguitar]

Haha. That sounds so funny! What a greeting. I hope my soon to be Cocker is one that does it.

[Doggone Mad]

When Hamish gets up in the morning he always loves to grab a favourite toy and comes over with it in his mouth for a cuddle.  Doesn't let it go, just holds onto it tightly usually until I've popped his lead on to take him out for his early morning toilet dander. Dead cute !

[Woody's Mum]

I think the whole thing of a Cocker greeting, toy or not, is filled with utter, utter joy!  There can't possibly be a warmer welcome in the world.   

Utterly agree ... its just

Jagger and Molly dont do this, but I would like to know how to teach them, might stop them jumping up so much lol

Sadly Coco just jumps up with the toy in her mouth    It doesn't stop her barking either as she has perfected a way of barking whilst her mouth is stuffed full of teddy bear!
