mally 832 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'd be tempted to try a talk you mrs into getting a cocker mate. I don't know anyone who works a king charles either and i've covered loads of shoot days etc with the photography over the years. A couple of OAP's have them in the village i live and they struggle to walk around the block (the dogs not the oap's!!) I don't think they've got an hours work in them let alone a days work mate. You would be far better with a cocker mate 4 Quote Link to post

Tell your wife , that the cocker will be more of a (healthy) dog more so if from working lines, And if your going to spend cash why not get better dog all round, and bitch cocker will only be a small dog anyway, If she got any sence lol, she should go for a cocker.

stroller 341 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Lovely breed of dog as a pet but they have loads of health issues there is a huge row within the kennel club as they are saying over % of the current breeding stock have a genetic flaw relating to skull shape, brain damage etc. Im sure if they are brought up as a worker they may potter on with the terriers but a little cocker would be better Quote Link to post
skycat 6,173 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I see one or two pet cockers (not show bred) on my walks: they're not trained for hunting, but they're always on a line somewhere, working away with no prompt from their owners. Nice little dogs and from what I gather they fit in well as part of the family too. Just make sure to get a field cocker rather than a show bred one: those poor things are so heavy coated and with ears that damn near sweep the ground. http://www.particolouredcockers.co.uk/cockertypes.htm Quote Link to post
bigdaz 688 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Get a cocker pup tell the wife it's a KCS, by the time she susses she won't part with it. 1 Quote Link to post
barraboy 28 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 CKS bred to be lap dogs, seen some rough and ready ones that are great for a stroll with the family BUT if you're looking at something to hunt and use its nose afraid its a cocker every time, like comparing an afghan with a lurcher Quote Link to post
Billy Warren 43 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 fort this mite be the case but i can't get her to change her mind it's k/c/s or a ball cross yer i know cant get any fever a part. it will be moor of a pet than a working dog Quote Link to post
Mooch. 177 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Sounds like you have two options: 1. Get a new wife. 2. Leave the KCS at home when you take the terriers out. It might be called a spaniel but generations of in-breeding have made it useless as a working dog. 1 Quote Link to post
