I see from your pictures that Tucker is a little cocker. Start getting him groomed NOW! It is wonderful that you are taking your time to find a groomer that has a rapport with both you and Tucker, and not to sound mean, but you should have considered the cost of getting him groomed EVERY 6-8 weeks before you got a high maintaince breed like a cocker. Its wonderful that you are brushing him, esp if you plan to keep him in full coat. Not brushing him can lead to mats, which makes grooming painful. Even if he is not fuzzy yet, at least get him to the groomers to get him used to the sound of the force dryer and the clippers, as well as just being in the groom shop. If cost is an issue, consider grooming him at home. Be sure to buy high quality grooming supplies, not the $20 clippers from Wal-Mart. With home grooming you will have to plunk down a lot of money at once, but in the long run you save.
