Good to hear your new boy has claimed his position on the sofa ...a sofa not a sofa if there is not a cocker curled upon it

Oh that is lovely news.  Welcome to the mad world of cocker ownership.   I am sure Eddy will bring a lot of fun, love and laughter and maybe the odd ' what have I done"  moments into your life.

Need to see pic's when you have some.

I have Three Spanglies now . Our latest addition came to us in June, she came from a home where she had been kenneled outside from a pup, she is now 22 months old. She doesn't seem to have had the best start in life as she is very nervous and cautious or everything and everybody. Although she is now in the house she dives outside at every opportunity and hides under the hammock. She does seem to be getting worse, she has started stealing things and hiding them outside, but we will not give up on her, she is a beautiful dog. The saving grace at the moment is that she adores my 12 year old son and goes to him for affection. She does not play although she does wag her tail at us and then runs off  . She will take food off any of us but woofs it down like you are going to steal it  .
We are just glad we found her when we did, she is hard work emotionally but we love her.
Good luck with Eddy, glad he is doing well xx

Hi,

First of all, its great to hear you are adopting a little cocker, i wish you and the family every bit of success.

One of the biggest bits of advise i give cocker owners is to register with this site with you have already done and use it, ask questions, read threads....... (aswell as removing all cream/white carpet/sofas and so on from your house  )

We have learnt loads from the site over the past couple of years and are grateful of everyones input.

I fell in love with my Pippa in May when I went to babysit my three grandchildren for the weekend only to find that as well as the children and my daughters whippet I had my daughters friends two cockers to look after and I fell in love with Pippa who was described to me as naughty, I was also told that her owner didn't know whether she would keep her. Well pippa at that point was 18months old and left alone with the other older cocker for at least 7/8 hours a day, no she was not naughty she was an intelligent dog who loves company and was desperate to learn. After my weekend with her I told my daughter should this lady want to rehome Pippa I would love to be her new mum I am retired and have all the time in the world I also have a thirteen year old poodle and a three year old Chinese crested powder puff and last Sunday I got my Pippa she is a joy very quickly settling in, I do 10 minutes obedience with her a day and we enjoy our walks and of course she loves the company.
