That a Cocker Gill? We used to have a cocker a few years back, turned into a fat little fecker...RIP Dillon. Got a Springer now and he is absolutely looney, so much so, FLIS wont allow him in the house. She's away this week so no doubt the house will be stinking of dog by the time she returns

Yeah she is a Cocker, and her mum is quite small so I don't think she is going to grow to be too big. I'm home all the time right now so hopefully I will be able to train her well enough to not be too much of a wee monster  I can't wait to get her, it is going to be so good for me to have company in the house when I'm home alone. Hopefully she will be a wee angel by the time you come up Ange!

Good luck. You may know this, but if you don't... Puppies CHEW everything. So, if you don't want to spend a fortune replacing hats, gloves, shoes, underwear, glasses(specs) or anything that might possibly fit in her mouth, then keep it out of her way. Buy her plenty of chew toys. Do not underestimate how bloody destructive they can be. Get on top of the house training ASAP as well. The one of our dogs we got as a puppy probably cost us the thick end of £5k in material damage to house and contents in her first year. She ate the following. One Cartier Tank Basculante watch. Watch was repairable, strap needed replacing. £300 Two pairs of Oakley M Frame shades. £280 One cycling helmet. £90 Three pairs of riding gloves. £105 Eight pairs of shoes. £500 innumerable items of underwear - she basically had a penchant for stealing dirty knickers out of the laundry and chewing the crotch out of them. Not mine I hasten to add! God knows how many pairs, but it was several dozen and probably double that by the time we factor in bras - let's say £300 Two pairs of specs £380 Every carpet in the house got trashed with her incontinence and vomiting up of unsavoury things she'd eaten. Cost of recarpeting. £3k She even chewed HC's purse and several of her bags and one time stole cash out of her purse and chewed that. Fortunately you can get mangled money replaced. |

Apparently cocker owners often nickname their pups 'crocodiles'  Jens parents old dog used to steal shoes and bury them in the garden so a shoe would go missing then turn up months later covered in dirt. Their new dog Bliss is actually really good and doesn't really chew many things that she's not supposed to. I've already bought Willow a load of chew toys and teething chew things. I'm going to get some of those puzzles as well where they have to figure out how to get to a treat. Apparently that can keep them entertained for quite a while. |

I'd say ‘Get a cat’ but you should see the state of our sofa. That and they're getting to the old, weak-bladdered stage now, so they're starting to struggle making it to the litter tray before letting go in a corner somewhere. Pics as soon as you get her, Gill. And not the one you showed me three times in Manchester

I'm ready for the bites as well- Bliss was quite bitey at first as well. It's going to be a bit of an adventure, I'm sure I'll be posting in here a lot to regale everyone with the latest details

If she aint house trained, the biggest tip I have is buy her a cage.,...they make house training a doddle apparently not that I had to house train mine as he has a dog flap to go to the garden whenever he wants to. |

Obviously not because she's going to maul anyone at the moment (except maybe with licks ) but for my own peace of mind as well. Imagine if she dissapeared and I hadn't had it done  Only possible problems will come from low income families etc who will argue that this is making owning a dog less affordable but I'm not sure that's a good argument. |

Microchips aren't just for finding owners of bad dogs. They are also for finding the owners of good dogs that are lost, or finding out who left the dog to starve in a bag. Vets can (in some cases) read the chip to get an animals medical history, and the EU will only allow animals to travel across borders if they are chipped. Getting animals chipped or freeze-marked is the very least a responsible owner should do. |

It's only £20 isn't it? How much does a dog cost to feed in a year? Must be a bloody fortune! If you're so low income you can't afford a one-off £20 you have no business owning a dog IMHO. edit: agreeing with SDG FAOD |
