Max needs a registered name...

I know, I was SO suprised when he did that, but I do try to limit him doing that high as I don't want my baby boy to get hurt .

We are hoping to do agility with him, but he has two different-length lips ( ) so the judges informed us, although he has such amazing conformation, it may bring his placings down to thirds... . We did a 'puppy-show' when he was a 6-month old, and he came second, so proud of him, although we only got one picture of him with that rosette, or god knows what he might have done with it!

Agility is a lot of fun! I suggest before you even start with agility getting a hip test done, cockers are popular breeds for Hip Dysplasia. My girl has been doing it for 3 years and we just found out that she has hip dysplasia and she has been working through all of that pain. There was no signs at all, but I pretty much put her in so much pain. I also suggest not doing such a big jump for such a small dog, that can be really painful on there joints.

Mmmm, I think I might be going to be taking Maxter to the vets sometime soon! I'm sorry to hear about your girl, I wouldn't be surprised if any cocker would do it through pain, even though they seem to want to play more than cuddle, they are still one of the most loving, loyal* dogs ever!
