My cockers are wonderful - if very wilful. My OH walks them off the lead (we are in the sticks) about 4 to 5 miles a day.
When i take them out - they have to be on the lead along the road, but off road they are scatty - chasing each other.
Just recently we have had awful bother with "sticky willies" (little round burrs) - don't know the proper name - does anyone else call them that?
What a job getting them out of the long hair. They do look good afterwards though.
Love the little so-and-sos lots
