Thanks everyone, it has been kind of left hanging, so hopefully a bit of closure is whats needed. We're going to the garden center later to have a look at something that wont grow too big.
Livercake he is a show cocker - with thanks to all the great information and advice given on here i have learned so very much, i have done it the right way, and i feel iv asked all the right questions and am very happy with the breeder who shows and judges. My partner wanted another 'Charley' which i told him wasnt a good idea, as if we went to a reputable breeder the dogs would probably be worked and the pups would need far more than what Charley needed with him being a little 'diluted'. Hope you understand what i mean?
At PAH is a nightmare place to go, or rather a nightmare place for my OH to take me!
