Cat's have thumbs? :s my cocker uses his dewclawsas thumbs to hold bones and stuff

My Mum has been up with her little sheltie and today I was clipping the dogs nails. Teddy has dewclaws on his hind legs and Rosie (Mum's dog) does not :/ The more you know lol

Honestly, I just think the price of dogs in general is high at the moment. When we were looking for a cocker puppy, I saw red cockerpoos for sale £1000 and half the litter was already reserved. Mongrels in general are about £450+ in our area. A litter of staffy/poodle/boston terrier on my street...

I think she got Marshall from Paw Patrol, a kids' cartoon. John because she thinks it's funny and Brown because he's brown.

Thanks :) he is lovely but an ass sometimes haha! Hopefully that's him heightwise now. I got a cocker for their small/medium size. I was in my husbands work a couple of months back and one of the guys had a lovely flat-coated retriever. Ted was the same size as him.

Teddy is now one years old and has reached 21 inches at the withers :eek: I'm pretty sure he has a bit more growing to do as well as he is still a tiny bit bum-high. I'm thinking there may be a bit of springer somewhere in him. He looks like a show cocker in a springer body :/ please excuse his...

So sorry for your loss :(

Congratulations Violet :D she's lovely! Judy my second baby was easier as a bump :p but is still absolutely horrendous at sleeping 2.5 years on. His sister, however, slept through at 8 weeks.

Sooooo cute! I like the name Abel and Red lol. When we got Teddy, my then-3-year-old wanted to call him Marshall John Brown! Strange child.

Why stop at one. I'd have them all ;)

I would worry less and maybe try to be a bit calmer when trying to redirect his behaviour. I also would have read more into the adolescent phase of dogs as I was completely unprepared for that one. Teddy is now exactly 1 year old and a complete Kevin the teenager. He is lovely, well-mannered an...

I do Teddy myself. He isn't a show dog and has a relatively easy coat for a cocker. I clipped the longer hair shorter on his belly and legs the other day as with it being winter it just gets disgusting and he is constantly in mud, bushes, bogs etc.

I have a cocker spaniel and I really wouldn't recommend one for your mother in law's situation. Or a cockerpoo (or variant of.) My cocker spaniel needs at the very minimum an hours brisk walk a day and he's only 10 months old. This is off lead to so he probably covers about 7 miles. The breeds...

Hello, I used to live in Wales. Cardiff has been my favourite ever place to live. I also lived in Aberystwyth, Neath Valley, Newtown and Brecon lol.

@Flobo can't say I've noticed the donut bums xD... or willies either

I am anti-docking with medical exemptions. With regards to the uppy tail, my ex's sister had a bichon and it constantly had it's bum hole on show. Ted is very leggy and rangy, almost like a mini-setter. He would look odd without a tail.

Shetland Sheepdogs, my mum has one and she is an angel. Never destructive or bitey, even as a puppy and a lovely, small size. Tolerated being at home when my Mum worked, dog neutral, amazing on and off lead, house-trained herself. She takes as much or as little exercise given (not anymore as...

I feel like me and Jasper are on the same wave length.

Thanks Terry. Had a look at her website. Will try and give it a go :)

So I'm looking for some good links/ ideas for things to do inside with Teddy in the evenings. If it's training, then a bonus. I think someone posted a link to basic training that was in ladder-like steps? If that makes sense. Or a programme of training would be good, that we could work through...
