All Louie wants to do is DIG. Does anyone else's cockers do this? KATE ?

Yep, mine (if I'm not watching)!  And she's got bigger paws than my terriers so can make the holes bigger quicker!

Storms a digger too! Louie is gorgeous Pauline.

Yep, Ollie has had his excavating moments as well, though he's nothing like as bad as he used to be.

His favourite is the beech, sand is soft on the paws as you burrow down.

Thank you Claire. My boy Reef looks so like your Storm.

OMG how cute x

Edie is partial to some excavation, not obsessive, but seems to believe there are untold treasures to be found in spots where the missus has her favourite plants (LOL), and in corners of the sofa (she could be onto something there )..

what a cute pupster

Mine too...

and that`s how she looks afterwards...

Our Ollie likes to dig, likes to dig plant roots up and then chew them.  Also obsessed with tugging and chewing plants and shrubs.  We discourage the behaviour but probably only doing puppy things as he's 16 weeks old, hopefully he'll grow out of it.  Marc

Hi Pauline

No, Dexter's not a digger (you can't blame him for all Louie's naughty bits! He definitely only passes on his general loveliness...), although I understand cockers are known for it.  Phoebe would have been a digger given half a chance but I never let her and fortunately she seems to be growing out of the desire - but not the one to trash the inside of the shed/kennel (it now has several more ventilation holes than it had).   Swap?!!!

They don't call them the undertakers for nothing  

The first time I gave my first cocker a retrieve (dummy)  in a wood, he took it off and started to bury it  He did it a couple of times as a puppy but never did it again until the end of  last season when he started to try and bury pheasants    (senile dementia was setting in  )

Fortunately none of my other cockers dig.

Barney never tried digging until one day at the beach he saw a lab doing it and thought it would be fun to join in.  Thereafter, he dug holes wherever he could but he has never tried to bury anything.  He isn't so bad now but has a relapse now and again!  The others aren't too bad but they have all tried a bit of excavation now and again. 

yes, both of our dogs dig but usually not until they have covered all the ground first: Lately Kelly (the pup) has taken to making a bee-line for the garden and digging in the carrot row! she pulls them up and runs off to eat them!
