He's a lovely boy @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7
Cocker Spaniels are great family dogs. You're right, after a while it's hard to imagine life without them.
The only thing that can get dicey about him is his temper. He's got a lot of personality, and is very, very protective, so uneasy around certain strangers. He kind of makes me nervous at times, with how aggressively he'll bark down people that get too close to my family and I. I respect the loyalty, but he can overshoot sometimes. Then, with people he is comfortable with, he's the biggest boob you'll ever meet, an absolute goober.
I've thought about getting a Westie. I would only need a name for it. In fact, perhaps Westie would be a good name. Then I could say that the Westie is decadent and divided.
Do you run into the issue where he's too smart, and sometimes you wish he was dumber? With our dog we have to be very careful what words or body language we use, because he picks up on a lot and he's smart enough to know exactly what he can get away with. It's both cute and terrifying how, once he sees me pick up my lunch and put my work boots on, he'll race up to our couch, jump on top of it and start gnawing on the furniture and barking, as if to say, "Where do you think you're going, BROTHER?!?!" ;-) Never a dull moment.
Thanks @RichardTheBruce 👍
Oh definitely too smart. He's picked up so many words we literally have to use code for some of them! My wife trained him from when he was 4 months old and his obedience is amazing. I adore our walks together, and luckily we live in an area of Surrey that has lots of beautiful countryside.
All part of the fun mate! They all have their own little quirks. No Dog is the same 😁
Absolutely. Wouldn't change it for the world. I think we actually got a cat that looks like a dog, though, because I've never seen any dog but mine jump onto the top of a couch and sleep on the uppermost part like it's a bed. :))
He's a White Swiss Shepherd Dog (aka Berger Blanc Suisse) and, if his parents are an indication, he will grow up to about 60 cm of height at the withers and up to 40 kg of weight...but so far he is only 9 weeks old, weighs 7 kg and is just...cute. We're a bit anxious about how our cats may react, but there have been enough voices that told us that it will very likely turn out ok. And we're totally excited and can't wait to spend our nights carrying our new family member out to pee in time :-). I'll keep you posted.
On Sunday, Albus turned three months (13 weeks) old. I guess he's up to 12 kg or so by now and has almost outgrown the transport crate we bought (used) as a temporary solution. He's much less of a polar bear cub in the meantime, but even more of a bag of fleas. I'm afraid at this stage he's not always beneficial for my blood pressure, but hey...he's also cute and fun. When he's not busy molesting us with his milk teeth. >:)
It reminds me of the old joke:
What do you call a dog with no legs?
Call him whatever you like. He won't come to you!
I'm sure the missing legs won't matter if the dog can expect a treat... :o3
Yes, I find that a treat makes any pet much more alert. Funny that...
And here's the warning sign I created for our driveway gate (the image is AI-produced, the lettering is a free "Jurassic Park" font):
He's as fit as a butcher's dog. :)
I wonder how our dog will react to it. After all, he has never seen or heard fireworks, although a recent shot from a hunting gun nearby didn't really impress him. I guess we'll try and put him in his bed in time (actually a cage...so he won't run into our cats during the night, but he's ok with it) and trust that the noise will be bearable. We do live in a normally quiet country neighbourhood but quite a few families nearby insist on participating in those fireworks. And I admit that at least some of those rockets look marvellous.
