Hi
I am looking for some advice from owners of these lovely dogs.
I lost my beloved cocker spaniel 8 years ago and its taken me a very long time to contemplate owning a dog again.
We now live in a house with a very small garden (but lots of nice walks near by) and feel a cocker or springer might be a bit too high energy for me now.
I have been reading extensively about the breed and on paper they seem very suitable for us. However I have heard a lot of negative things about their health issues, even when buying from a scrutinised breeder.
We work from home and are really looking for something that's a bit of a lap dog and easy-going. I couldn't get something large like a rescue greyhound as my garden is far too small.
Generally are they as gentle and loving as I have heard they are? I have no personal experience of the breed, having had cockers and labradors previously.
Thank you.
