Hi and welcome. Im owned by Purdey who is a 6 month old Blue Roan with Tan cocker.

If you look at Alfie's pedigree, you will probably see either some SHCH (show champion, I think) or FTCH (field trial champion) which tells you he is a show type or working type.

Judging by the tiny pic of him, he looks like a show-type, but if you post some bigger pics, it will give us more idea  :D

Welcome to COL  :D

If you post Alfie's pedigree on the Genetics & Breeding board we might be able to tell you if his full show type or working type or both and you never know some of his littermates might be on here  :D
