Please take into consideration all costs of dog ownership and be certain it fits into your budget. You will need to allow for the cost of quality food and veterinary expenses and, if you don't have one....adequate fencing. Also be aware that this breed needs to be professionally groomed every 4-6 weeks and requires frequent brushing.
Dog ownership is a MAJOR responsibility, and should not be taken lightly under any circumstances. We only want the best for our puppies, and want them in homes where they are considered important members of the family, not "just a dog". A puppy depends totally on you for all his needs, and is no different than bringing home a human baby. They need lots of love, attention and structured discipline. Dogs in general, and English Cockers especially, are very people oriented, and look to you for leadership and companionship. If you feel you are not up to this lifelong commitment, please consider waiting to buy a dog until your life is better suited.
