  1. I’ve had 9 Cockers over 50 years, everyone of them a gem. The last 3 have lived over 16 years. I’ve got a 2 year old puppy now and I’m 73 so I expect she’ll be my last. Every one of these steps is true except the television one. They are the most loving, loyal dogs.

  2. They love you so much and usually have a favorite person. They have a mind of their own and oh so smart! My Gracie is 10 years old and still acts like a puppy. She wants us to both be together with her.
