    Are your cocker spaniels show or working type?

    If they are working do you work them??? (what do they do when working??))

    If they are show type do you show them and how did you get started ???

    Millie is an English Cocker show type but I don't show her or work her we just started training classes (a rather bit late)

    I have an English Cocker show type. I don't show him. He's Chocolate Roan and has the fluffiest cocker coat I've ever seen, so couldn't be shown. :lol:

    Used to have a Blue roan show type but she was not to standard (she was very tall and more like a giant cocker!) so she was a pet

    I used to have a Golden show type, never showed him as like all my others he was just a pet. He was highly intelligent and so easy to train even if he did have a few oikey tendencies. He was always covered in mud and muck and is probably the reason I'm so drawn to short haired breeds these days.

    Two WCS, one solid black, one fox red.

    They aren't old enough yet and are still training, but they will work on the local pheasant shoot beating/picking up, and will also do agility.

    My cocker spaniel is a pampered and spoiled type.

    Case in point:

    Bob is a solid black show type
    who goes out 3 times a day, comes to work with me
    and we also do 2 training classes a week
    Monday is Agility and Sunday is obedience and fun agility
    Cockers are very active little dogs, and love nothing more
    than to be out and about

    The difference between the show and working types are really quite amazing aren't they! Especially the domed head in the show types compared to the flat broad head in working.

    Very much so - its like two different breeds
    We have a show type in the street and he is LOVELY, but so different to your guys. No drive at all to work with people, he just loves to go off on his own sniff sniff sniffing with his wee tail wagging like mad
    pretty, but dim :)

    I've just got a Working type cocker - when she's old enough we're going to train her to work - Scurrying - Got to wait another month before we can start her off though, might try her with agility too when she's older :lol:
