Newbie here! well after 4 years of talking about getting a dog we finally took the plunge and got our new edition last week. he will be 9 weeks old on Friday and rusty is a golden bundle of joy (well most of the time).
i spent all my life with dogs, all golden retrievers and since leaving home i have missed them terribly. he was the only golden dog from a litter of 7 we were the first to see them and wanted him immediately. he is the cheekiest little thing and only cried the first 2 nights. toilet training is hard work and not going too well at the moment but I'll keep working at it (any advice gratefully received).
its more hard work than i remember especially having my little boy as well who loves rusty dearly, but i know it will all be worth it.
i found cockers on line by accident and so glad i did
