[Misc] OT - Cocker Spaniels

[Lincoln Imp]

I had a Cocker, she was beautiful but she passed away last year. I was looking for a dog a few months ago & decided on a change as I didn't want to compare the new dog to the lovely Floozy so now have 2 sprightly Cockapoo's.
I would highly recommend Cockers either of the Spaniel variety or the Poo variety!!! Both lovely breeds. I got my pair on Pets for Homes.

We were in exactly the same position. Dear Pickle lasted for 17 years and helped bring up our children. Daisy the Cockapoo has all the qualities of a loving spaniel and doesn't shed hair. If you do go down the cockapoo route take care who you buy from - preferably a member of the Cockapoo Club - and make sure you see the mother.

We have a Patterdale Terrier, think small black labrador with whippet rear end...Not really a recognised breed, but certainly enough that people know what he is when they see him. Great temperament, does like a good long walk and swim, will eat anything (including sheep poo) and thinks he's a lap dog. We got him from Wadar's rescue in Lancing...He's a good boy

Joking asides, I agree. Love labby's or an Alsatian or a Retriever.

So you like big dogs.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

So you like big dogs.

I do yep, they seem more intelligent and loyal, just my opinion like.

You fink my Jack Russell is thick mate, do yer ?

Eh? You think intelligence and loyalty are related to size? That's mad.

Anyway, back on topic - well, the topic may soon be changing to 'name that dog'. Went to see some puppies today. Obviously adorable.

Graham or Douglas.

For me Colin is out, oddly I know a few Colin's and sadly I guess Nigel is out too.

So Graham it is.

Thanks for doing the hard work for me.

Jeffrey or Stanley would have been our choice, but it came with a daft name Rocco (and it had already stuck)...

Stanley

After one of the men that tried to kill our club? No thanks.

 

[Albion my Albion]

We had her put down on Tuesday.

I was going to say Tuesday might not have liked a dog on her but because I know it's a sensitive issue I won't. Oooops.

Patterdale terrier. Not small, nor big, great temperament, good with kids, love footballs, very loyal, not common or fashionable so you won't look like a hipster ****.

 

[B-right-on]

Another vote for a Cockerpoo here. Our Max is 6 months old and has firmly put himself into the hearts of our family in the 4 months we've had him. Went for a Cockerpoo because of the temperament with kids and that some of the potential issues with thoroughbreds has been bred out of them imo.

I might also add they're,good at catch, and rolling in goat shit. Miles better than a spaniel, unless you need help finding your Stash!

We have an Alsatian Lab cross, or mongrel as we like to call her. Amazing dog. Never understood why people pay through the nose for a pure bred with all their inherent health problems.

If you're going for a spaniel, go for a Sussex - they are in danger as a breed:

Trig, if you don't already, look at ' All sorts dog rescue' where mine came from.

They are up beyond Henfield ! http://allsortsdogrescue.org.uk/availabledogs.aspx

They don't seem to have many dogs at the mo - Good Luck !
