dantsw13, did you steal my dog!? 😉 Looks just like our working cocker bitch, really are lovely dogs.
b r, that’s one of the best looking working cockers I’ve seen. They really are beautiful liver coloured.
To the OP, just know what you’re getting yourself into if it’s a working cocker. Massive responsibility in terms of 1) giving them enough exercise, and 2) mentally stimulating them. Exercise is the priority though, their exercise requirements are high even for working dogs. Not sure what your home situation is, but the ideal would be your wife being a stay-at-home mom, so she can take them for multiple walks during the day, and you as a mtber taking them for an extended and high-pace ride every couple days so they can stretch their legs.
I don’t want to sound like a wet blanket, I hate being lectured as much as the next person, but only get the dog if it fits in with what you’re able to offer it. Rather piss off the seller than have an unhappy dog (which leads to unhappy family environment, etc.).
If you do feel it’s a good fit, then you’re in for a treat, they really are a fantastic breed. I’ve had loads of dogs and won’t look anywhere else but working cockers from now on. 😉
