  1. We love Crocker spaniels, we are on 5th one, which 4 have passed. They have been such good dogs, very smart, and no problems with shedding. We are thinking about getting a new one to go with Reese, for company.

  2. I have a golden cocker great most of the time but has bouts of aggresion which over the yrs has got worse vet recons its close breeding i have 2 be very careful when out walking him such a shame

  3. Sandra, don’t give up.Having been thru the training with Casey, his last vestige of the aggression is occasionally against our older female. She’s so sweet, but now almost bling and sometimes intrudes on his space, walking into him etc. Gotta be careful there, but otherwise fine. I must admit we needed training also.
