Working Cocker Spaniel .

[Pinkfoot]

As some of you may know I had to have my 3 year old working cocker ( in my avatar ) put down when he showed the third episode of " Cocker Rage " in attacking my daughter and wife . ....... That was last week end and now we have an 8 week old black bitch . And so the work begins .............

 

Bad news boy.

They old cocker often get like that.

I had to put my lab Tommy to sleep at only 8 and a half ,best dog I ever had .

Never thought I would be so upset over a dog.

But you get to have a puppy and start again. Love pups , love training dogs too.

Good luck old boy with your new scatter brain hound.

Thanks Goosey . Always a challenge but the rewards can be huge . A little and often is the way

I only use Labs now , wildfowling is hard on spaniels , but they are always up for it and very good at it , they just get cold.

I love training them , they are up for any challenge too.

Hope you got a good one .

Must get back to painting.

It's hard to concentrate , I can hear my brother and his mate shooting crows and pigeon down the Fen.

Love the working Cockers, mental at times but lovely dogs. I always thought the lemon coloured ones were more likely to get the rage? And I think a previous post is bang on with they're comment about the kennel club. I will never buy a dog that is kc registered. They breed them to close meaning they get problems. Had a working Cockers in the past who died at 18 months and game keeper near me has said they have had a lot of problems with Cockers dieing young

I really felt for you with the situation with your last dog, such a shame.
