Now he is 14 weeks and much bigger.
I'd love to see yours :D
I like them.
their really pretty dogs. :)
yep i think so too :)
They don't fit my lifestyle but I think they're good dogs. Poor breed, though, with all the health problems.
I'm also more partial to English Cockers. I like their personality better and I think they're cuter. No offence ;)
It's ok, everyone has there preference. English cockers are a bit bigger and more hyper, thats why I like american cockers.
It's sad for there health problems, I agree. Missy died for what we think was kidney failure. :( she was only 20 days from her 8th birthday. She died on the 4th of july :( :(
See, I like more active dogs. So they would suit me better.
Sorry to hear about your girl :(
Cockers really aren't my type of dog and like Sarah, I also prefer the English for the same reasons.
I love them. I have four. I don't have any pics. though. :( I have one of Alex on his page but thats it. I would rather have rottweilers or something though. They would suit me better. Even though rotties are better, i wouldn't give up my babies for every penny in the world. Alex, Tyler, and Buster are sable and white. Fanny is black and white. They are my life. Like in my signature:
Love my dogs, I'll love you
Corner my dogs, :mad: I'll corner YOU! :mad:
funny huh? ;)
i have a cocker spaniel too. she is a beautiful 11 year old girl. Her full name is Jessica James Bond, but we just call her Jesse. :D

Bandit(mom's dog)looks i lot like Sammy He is 4 years old and loves my cats(my 6 year old cat sometimes smacks at him has he walks by)and me and mom's birds(the birds are never left alone out of there cages with Bandit or cats with out my mom or me in the room)He is so cute,loving and a good guard dog
My roan cocker spaniel is a year old. I love them; there's a breeder in our family that's where we found her. I love the American breed. Yours is such a cute little guy!
Pepper was an active Am. cocler. Very playfil and loved to run in her younger years. She didn't much like to play with toys though and only did so once in a while to please. She lived to 14 with only ear infections and dental problems (which wasn't her fault). I'd never buy from a breeder though. I had thought that their health problems from being overbred for so many years had been overcome, but then I hear from so many people that their cockers died young from problems. All of these people got their dogs from breeders. HMMM leads me to think that all the AKC breeders have poor quality, inbred dogs. Must be because they breed for colour and beauty. It's funny how the puppy mills and byb's have overcome the cocker health problems. My's grandfather's cocker was from a mill and it lived to be as old as Pepper. My uncle same story. Either its our family that only has the good cockers or it was the mills around here churning out good ones (by chance?). No breeder cockers for me though.
A well bred cocker is truly a wonderful dog, very loving and faithful even if they do have health problems, but if you end up with one with rage syndrome, it can be your worst nightmare. I have had both
I've never heard of a cocker getting rage syndrome. I though it was only a springer thing. Guess I learned something new. Too bad though. At least you are wise enough not to judge a breed from having one bad apple.
