We met him today! He is definately pure cocker. Buff and sable in color. His tail is docked, but long at 4 inches. His "twin" showed up at the original shelter a day after the rescue got him, so we all think somebody let them go on purpose because they couldn't sell all the puppies in their litter. They were impressed at how my little sisters handled the animals in the room, being gentle with the cats that were running around and that they could get Autumn to follow commands well. They were impressed by Autumn's behavior and that her teeth are so clean for a 7 year old. The vet checked out ok and they are ok with limited vaccinations. I was impressed that Wally didn't show a single sign of protest when I was picking at his mouth and toes trying to see if he'd pull away. Hopefully we get him. All we have to do is pass the home inspection, and we have a 3.5 story house filled with kids toys and papers to clean. Tomorrow is a spring cleaning day for sure.
