I was giving advice about cocker spaniels. There must have been a lot of dog groomer abuse cases that year because I was talking about learning to groom yourself as a lot of groomers weren't to be trusted and cockers need a lot of grooming. I can't believe it but I said I liked cockers from byb's and mills better than akc breeders. Its still true from my experience that show cocker live shorter lives and have more temperment problems, but it just sounds bad reading it. I think show breeders have come a long way in improvements now.
