[and the horse you rode in on]

Cockers are field dogs. Most of them also have field champion finishes.

Some rarte cockers are suitable for both dog shows and field trials. There are other seperate field trials bloodlines that aren't nearly as pretty. Most cockers are good only for peeing on the floor whenever they get excited.

Okay, well, I knew there was a reason I prefered Labs, Newfies, St. Bernards, Mastiffs, etc.

SPeaking of which, lunchtime. Time to go home and be accosted by the white tyrant.

Which is why, when the kid wanted a Cocker, we got an English Cocker. She's far more "birdy" (you have to watch her around the parakeet) and she's got a heck of a nose. She's able to track really well, and hopefully will one day get her tracking title if I ever get off my duff and work with her. She's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but she has the best of intentions.
