After 4 years of discussing, debating and finally settling that this is the right time to add to our family and we would like to get a cocker spaniel puppy after Christmas/New year (dd2 birthday 5th January and she has been the one who has been the instigator so will be part of he birthday present)
We have spoken to local vets to register interest in puppy parties, puppy club and having him (must be a boy) registered with them and they have been so helpful with us choosing the right breed for our family (DH and DD2 huge runners so once he is old enough he'll be going on long walk/runs every day) The vets have given us a list of things to check when we go to looks for him (such as must be with mum, age, if tails been docked make sure they have the official paperwork and checks etc) however I am now stuck where to start looking as I do not want to get sucked into a puppy farm ?
