Just in defense that there are good cockers out there, we had Kaycee until she was 12 years old. And you never met a sweeter, gentler dog. Now you know I love my Golden Girls more than life, but Kaycee was the best behaved dog I have ever owned. I'm sure my Golden Girls will be that way when they get older because they are already sweet enough, but Kaycee came to us at 7 years old and could not have been a better
"first" dog for Helen.
