Re: American Cocker; Secret Hankering.......


I met some in Northumberland a few years ago and was quite captivated myself. I did laugh though as their boy was called max but originally the wife had wanted to call him Heathcliffe but the husband absolutely refused as it would have been him walking the dog on the moors calling out "heathcliffe!". Tee hee.
They seemed very personable and sweet but the coat does require some work if you keep it in show coat style.
HTH

Re: American Cocker; Secret Hankering.......


I think they are lovely dogs and proper dogs, I have many friends in USA who work them often as gundogs and know some who do agility too.

The coat puts me off - to keep in good condition requires loads and loads of care - I'd end up chopping it which would make such a fabby coated dog pointless ;(

Coat is a bit labour intensive if you want to keep it in show style, but you can have a good pet trim to make things easier (just make sure you find a decent groomer). Also can be prone to itchy flakey skin

My sister has 2 they a lovely dogs very loyal, and intelligent, enjoy a lot of exercise and love to play.
can get over excited easily.
i will try to post some pics soon.
there coat does need a lot of attention, if keep long, she brushes them every day and i groom them for her every 4 weeks.
but you can have a shorter pet trim.
