It's official...

my folks are getting a puppy!!! They just sent in the deposit for a male pup from these two beauties!

Sire


Dam


field-line English Cockers! They decide on a working cocker instead of a Brittany, in the end, with the cockers being the easier housedog and closer-working off leash.

Pups due around the beginning of May, so puppy pictures hopefully to follow as soon as the breeder gets them to us! I'm sooooo excited for them!

And one will look good with Macky! The female reminds me of Macky a TON

Puppies puppies everywhere!

They are going to be gorgeous puppies!!! Can't wait to hear about puppy.

I'm quite sure my next dog will be a working Cocker, I know so many of them and have never met a bad one. I actually wanted one before Katy, but my Dad is an arse and won't have another breed of dog in the house, other than sighthounds.

Gorgeous! I briefly looked at field-line Cockers when I was looking at smaller breeds of dogs, but I couldn't find any breeders I was happy with nearby.

Can't wait to see puppy pictures!

Oh my gosh, the dam is gorgeous!!

Beautiful!

Yay! I like mama a lot.

You best post lots of pictures.

That dam is VERY pretty. I don't see that coloring very often on cockers but it's very handsome. Congrats to your parents!

Those are some seriously stunning dogs. Like, I really want to steal them. I love spaniels, and even more then that, I love working spaniels.

What a beautiful pair.

I hope you will post lots of cocker baby pictures!

That is too cool!

Thanks for all the well-wishes, guys! We're really excited.

The breeder said that this is repeat breeding, and last time these dogs produced (of all things) 1 black and tan, and 3 reds! LOL So there are some interesting recessives in there. My parents are kind of hoping for a black and tan, but it doesn't really matter to them.

As soon as pups are on the ground, I'll flood you guys with pics. Luckily, we're in bird dog central, so it was actually quite easy to find a breeder with hunt-trialed (both parents are Field Champions, actually), health-tested field cockers - go figure. The breeder is only about 3.5 hours from my parent's house. Sporting dog central here in the midwest.

Ooo how exciting! They are beautiful - can't wait for pups!

I'm so excited to see their cute pups!

Those are some pretty dogs can't wait to see puppies!! This forum is going puppy crazy!!

And here I was hoping to pawn off a lazy Keeva sibling on them in a few months!! heehee

Congrats on the incoming 'baby sibling'! LOOOOOOVE the working field dogs!

Exciting times ahead.
