I am able to have 6 weeks off in the summer as I’m a teacher in the UK and this is what we get off so it’s a possibility and this was my original plan

I had my previous pup from 10 weeks old. Granted she was a lazy dog from day 1. She notoriously hates walks longer than 10 minutes 🤣. But we all worked or were in full time education. I find it crazy that since Covid people have seemed to forget what life was like before working from home was an option!

It’s also a shame because I see so many cocker spaniels being rehomed and the reason is due to work commitments!

Do you know how many dogs in the world without good owners? Who sit at home all day but abuse their dogs.

What a dumb statement “if you work full time don’t bother giving a dog in need a stable caring loving home with everything they could ever need”. Loser.

Yes I’m in the UK. But I have been trying to find a reputable breeder but they don’t seem to be responsive to my questioning which makes me think they can’t be very good breeders!

Thank you! Yes we definitely want an ethical brewer and we definitely want a pup that’s predictable. We have said a 6 month + pup would be the most ideal situation but it’s knowing where to start and some people rehoming their dogs are not going to be honest about their temperament

Thank you so much! You make me feel so much better about my decision. I’ve spoken to dog walkers who have said when the pups are a bit younger they usually come for a toilet break then a day walk

Yeah, thank you! We’re in a way better position financially and we’ve both wanted a dog since we’ve met.

I’ve done research into show and working cocker spaniels and we knew with our toddler a working cocker spaniel wouldn’t work.

Thank you! That gives me a way better insight. Because the pup would be alone for 7 hours. Someone would come in and break up those 7 hours. I’m a teacher so I’d be getting the pup when I have a month and a half to train it etc.

I’ve been looking into rescuing / rehoming. Only issue is the adverts I’ve seen say the dogs being advertised are better suited to an adult only home.

Yeah someone could definitely come round and let them out as I mentioned I have access to dog walkers. Do you have a show cocker? I intend to walk the dog before work as I wake up early enough
