I could easily do another cocker. I'm super sad as there's a breeder with a bitch I *adore*.. made contact near a year ago, said if she bred her in future.. I wanted on the list.. told me they had no plans at that time. Fine. 2ish months ago I see they ARE making plans. Contact again, no reply. They want performance homes only.. but I think they are meh about selling to a Canadian as I can't come up with much else in our super brief contact..
But after seeing that dog's drive combined with super pretty.. I don't want less....
I'm bathing Arson weekly.. though the crestie people say less bathing = less blackheads/ acne/ ick.. I am using a bar of black magic face soap I got for myself on him though.. and it's helped my blackheads..
Quicker to trim him.. but he get's fuzzy faster than the cockers. He gets stubbly bum.. I have been shaving his face weekly, and his back (mohawk) and tush about weekly too.. but most crestie folk seem to go like a month at a time. Everything about him is different from the cockers... He cuddles with Smudge the way I always wanted Smudge and Cider to..
LOL, pain to photograph.. He's freshly groomed and definitely shiny though. Sadly still missing a pair of jammies.. so these are all he has so far. And he's cold enough to want his bum covered.
