Hi I have just chosen my first working cocker spaniel puppy not an easy task they are all beautiful. It is a dog from Wiillows litter (see pictures in Photo Gallery). The breeder is very friendly and knowledgable and is keen to make sure the puppies all go to good homes.

We hope to do a some gundog training and maybe a bit of agility with him. All the family are very excited about collecting our lovely puppy in August. I think that we will spend most of our time between now and then counting the days.

Any helpful hints and tips would be greatfully received.

Hi there and welcome, the forum is great for advice as I have found being new. I too have my first cocker and now wonder why on earth I never had one before. Look forward to hearing all about your new family addition.:)

HI and welcome to the forum.

It is lovely to hear that new owners wonder why they didn't have a cockier sooner, rather than wish they had never had one!!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, you will get lots of advise from everyone.

Hello and welcome, I'm sure you will not regret your decision to get a Cocker.

Hi Jackie, glad you joined this forum its great for anything you want to know, little Gibbs is doing fine, makes me chuckle the way he just sits and watches the others running round and playing, not a care in the world.    See ya all soon x

Hi

Cockers - once you are hooked that's it they are an incredibly special dog and I could talk about them all day (apologies to my ESS who I love too) - it took me 20 years to find this breed after getting to know two local working cockers but me and hubbie are hooked for life now. 

Enjoy

We're hooked too. Jura is growing up fast, looking for instruction and ready and willing to learn. I just hope I am smart enough to keep up.

Welcome to the forum. I bet the days drag until you get your pup! If you have any questions as Ali says just ask and you will find much advice.

Welcome to the forum I too shall be picking up my new cocker very soon from Jacquie (Breezybrook) I'm counting down and looking forward to having her home with me.
