  1. Hubby got his first Cocker at 2. Got mine when I was in 2nd grade. We’ve been married 52 years and have had Cockers the whole time, one even went to Italy when we transferred there. Currently we have 7 which is 3 generations of pups. One is our Boomarang baby. When we have sold puppies we have always said if you can’t keep it or don’t want it for whatever reason is I want the dog back. We became friends with a young lady and eventually she was in a situation where she asked if we would take him back 3 years ago. He’s now 6. We gladly took him. Life with them is great …. even when we travel in our motorhome.
