I figured I might as well start a thread for the English cocker fans amongst us..
We lost our little cocker Tink a few weeks back and I put a deposit on a pup from a breeder in VT. I’m pretty far down the deposit list and it looks as though I won’t get a pup until mid summer. That’s a long time to come home to no happy spaniel. So, when I saw that there were a couple female pups available from a kennel in Georgia, I sent some pictures to my wife. It didn’t take much convincing and this pup will be here late next week. We’re still in negotiations over the name, so any suggestions are welcome. I like Piper or Phoebe, but they’ve gotten a lukewarm reception.

This was beautiful Tink, she’d find and bring me any bird she could, including any hapless sparrow that the cats killed.

Those all black ones can be hard on your heart....

Copper? Penny? Cedar?

Gypsy

Tobey!

That color and those eyes I’d call her honey plus it make things fun when you come home from work looking for her

I’ve never owned one but I sure like em. Back in early January, I took my kids to an English Cocker field trial. We had a blast and loved the dogs. The English Cocker people were darn nice to us outsiders too. We have had the pleasure of meeting battue’s sweet dogs on a few occasions too. I’ll have one some day.

That’s a fact. I’ll be looking for another black one when I get a call this summer.

Just went upstairs and told my wife I fell in love. What sweet looking dogs.

Found my buck for me:

So cool, but it doesn't surprise me.

I've been wonderfully impressed with the english cocker that Santa brought my kids three years ago. I had border collies my whole life and was reluctant to get something else, but have had great fun.
I'm fumbling on posting some photos.

These two were getting it done this fall. First ducks for him.
"Sprite" is 20 pounds of dynamite on ducks.


She makes her living on pheasants though.

DakotaDeer that is awesome!

Sprite has the look of some good blood in her. Memory tells me there is a least one best Cocker breeder in the Dakota’s.

I can’t get a good look at Willowcreeks Dog, but he sure is getting a well rounded start.

Addition: Came drifting in, Tim Ness in ND.

“Tip Top Texas Rose” looks like a winner from here. I wouldn’t bet against Her being able to pound out a couple muscle ups.

Addition: Looking at her again, she has those crazy eyes. I’d take her in a heartbeat.

The expressions of the dogs in this thread tug at my heart. More and more the older I get.

"Sprite" is from Tom Ness at Oahe Kennels near Bismarck, ND.
