Let's say hello to Alfie
Cocker Spaniel (English), 3 years old
My favourite thing about Alfie is...
His willingness to please and embrace lots of different activities be it hiking up a mountain, trick training, agility, gun dog training or paddle boarding.
The biggest challenge with Alfie is...
He is nervous of traffic and can struggle to settle in the evening if he hasn't had suitable activity/ enrichment throughout the day.
The most surprising thing about owning a Cocker Spaniel (English) is...
The speed at which they pick up new things.
What I wish I’d known about Cocker Spaniels (English) is...
They are terrible at lead walking without regular and consistent training.
Did you know?
Cocker Spaniels' paw pads inspired the sole for the first ever boat shoes when Paul Sperry witnessed his dog running on ice without a problem.
