Cocker Spaniel Fan

[Nellie]

Hello, I'm new here as you can see. I'll be getting a Cocker Spaniel puppy on Monday, she'll be a 3 month-old red American Cocker. I will probably name her Emily. I'd love to hear what I should expect or any advice for training, grooming, etc. And meet new friends!

Oh another new little one. I just got an English Cocker a week ago Friday. He is 9 weeks old now.

Even though I also have a 3 year old gold American cocker, I still ask a lot of questions. The people on this board are great and you will get lot of helpful information.

Good luck to you on Monday! Pictures please.

 

[Nellie]

Thanks. And pictures will be given when the pup comes home.

Welcome Nellie. You'll have to check out Kelly's notes on grooming. Very informative and easy to follow. Good luck with your new baby. Are you adopting her or is she an actual purchase?

She will be purchased from a breeder near my area. And yeah, I will certainly look into that.

May I ask who? Anyone who we may know? Also, where do you live? If you're anywhere near any of us, maybe we can be of more help too. Are you purchasing her as a pet or going to do any performance events with her? Inquiring minds want to know LOL! :lol:

If you name her EMILY she will be a angel forsure.

Best of luck and can't wait to see pictures.
3 months old is such at a right age too.
