thanks. well, i do have a question on cockers.
some have really short ears, others, long...?
some have straight, others, curly coast...?
and, lastly, what is the difference between working and showing?

Saffy please stop adding new topics. This can easily be asked on your other thread

Hi saffy

Yes, you are right, some cockers do have shorter ears than others, and different coats.
Often the blacks have particularly curly coats...whereas the roans tend to be more sleek (although this doesnt always apply, it may be a case of ringing different breeders to find out what the parents have)

Millie is from a showing background rather than a working one.
She is slightly smaller than working ones, who tend to be almost springer like sometimes. Also their ears tend to be shorter ( showing cockers have longer ears and the fur on them is, generally, kept longer)
The majority of cockers are showing ones.....

Show cockers tend to be easier to get hold of, but make sure you get a good one. A lot of "breeders" dont know what they are doing.

Try ringing around and find out about the parents coats etc. I personally prefer the sleek coats, long ears look.

Any preference on colour?
