I miss our cocker who died this year age 15. She was everyone’s friend, bombproof in every way, gentle, mischievous, biddable and stubborn. We took her everywhere *sigh*.
Our adopted Welsh Springer is a different dog entirely and very hard work.
Buy from a reputable breeder, make sure you see the dam (mum) before you see the pups. Train and socialise as soon as possible.
