Things I know

Hi
Two weeks ago I didn't know there was such a thing as a low D whistle. Now I know how to make one. (It turned out not half bad...)
Happy Whistlemaking

Well, ours are that... but... there's just something... different enough the American Kennel Club started keeping a separate stud book for the British ones.chrisoff wrote: Really? How so? Ours are blinking nuts. Hyper, happy and friendly things.
American cocker spaniels also have a year shorter life expectancy.

I also think that in recent decades they have a tendency to be higher-strung and at times snappish. Bad breeding practices, I think. That may have been corrected to an extent though.Walden wrote:Well, ours are that... but... there's just something... different enough the American Kennel Club started keeping a separate stud book for the British ones.chrisoff wrote: Really?
