Cocker Spaniel Puppy

[dogfighter2111]

Hiya,

Well I have a deposit paid on a 2 week old English Cocker Spaniel (will be 3 weeks on Wednesday). We wanted a Blue Roan, and requested this from the start. We were invited to go out and see the litter last weekend which we did but from what I saw the puppies only had Black spots with a white coat. I was unsure what to think, but i am hoping that it will look more like this in 6 weeks:



I have also been reading about some small problems that others have been having with their puppies e.g. Urinating when Excited etc., but from what I read I got the impression that they were American Cockers and as the breeding is different I am unsure what to look at.

We had a Cocker Spaniel but we sadly lost her at 13 years of age early this year. It broke our hearts, but we wanted to buy another and here we are We got her when she was 4, so we have no experiance with a puppy.

My questions are will it be likely that my puppy will turn out to be that same colour in 3 weeks time? Also what can I expect from the Puppy? and what should I look out for?

Thanks
Mike

I do not know alot about English cockers, but I can tell you that it's colour will change to roan. It starts out white with black spots and soon changes to blue roan.

Good luck with your puppy! And welcome to PT!

nah, the reason for the name is that I am heavily into Aviation and it is based on a Dogfight. A term used in WWI when the British Aircraft would engage in combat with the German Aircraft and Vice-Versa (Air-Air Comabt).

Thanks
