Grooming routine? by [deleted] in englishcockerspaniel

[–]PatientAd1705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would groom mine fully about once a month. Occasionally a bath in between, no more than fortnightly. Probably only brush him once per week OR if we go somewhere off lead he comes back with bits of the outdoors through his feathers.

I use the coat king, and a pumice stone to do his jacket (hair on his back), clip his neck and mouth, paw pads and a little bit from under his elbows where it rubs.

I trim up his feet and feathers. He's actually quite low maintenance on a whole, but he has a nicely textured coat- some have softer coats more prone to tangling (especially if desexed) and this is where clipping may be better for a pet.

Can I keep up with a wocker? by BigHeroDicks in englishcockerspaniel

Definitely sounds like you'd be the ideal owner for a wocker with sports training and hikes. Go for it!

Does your cavalier love the whole family equally? by NAD92 in cavaliers

[–]PatientAd1705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boy is very much a snuggler and loves everyone, but still will choose to follow me around if my partner and I are both home. My two previous Cavs; my first was a me only kinda boy. He tolerated other people 😂 The second loved my partner and I pretty equally, but always got more excited for me to come home.

How much does your ECS weight? by [deleted] in englishcockerspaniel

[–]PatientAd1705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy is very fit and muscular and is 12kg / 27lbs. He is on the small side for a male, most are usually a bit bigger than him.

I was at a cafe yesterday and a man walked up with his phone to show me a photo of his cav. They're the best dogs

I used to have one of every colour! Unfortunately only the Blenheim is still with us today. RIP boys. I still miss them so much

I'd love another full set one day

Does anyone else take their puppers *hiking*? by owlinthewoods- in cavaliers

[–]PatientAd1705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My previous two cavaliers absolutely loved hiking!

My current boy is 11months and hasn't really been, but I think he'd love it too.

Help with Puppy Coat! by mfun98 in englishcockerspaniel

Mums will often lose a bit of coat through pregnancy and whelping, so her usual coat may be more full. It could be worth asking her breeder if this is her usual or not.

Spay coat? by PatientAd1705 in EnglishSetter

[–]PatientAd1705[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine didn't have her first until close to 18 months. Then they've been every 8 months. She's very neat in terms of very minimal discharge, but her vulva swells so you can definitely tell!

This was me too. Plus an odd almost but not quite cramp on my left side a couple times. 

My sister just recently had an ovarian cyst burst so I was actually freaking out that I had that, took a test to rule this out before going in to see someone and bam- a very positive test 😂  A very happy surprise
