Hi, i need some advice. I've finally decided to go for it and get another little dog, and had my heart set on a ckc, however my boyfriend saw a cocker spaniel and 'fell in love' with him! anyway, yesterday we actually picked the most adorable little golden coloured cocker spaniel and i was happy with the decision - we've even picked his name (i would big time prefer a kc..but i'm tryin to learn to compromise, also i know it would prob remind me too much of my last little darlin and then id be a manic depressive), anyway, I just popped into my friend to tell her the excitin news and she said that no way should we get cocker spaniel cos they are working dogs and not for pets like kc. now im totally confused and dont know what to do, i have to give the lady who has the cocker spaniel pup an answer this eve, and she's a really nice lady so i dont want to waste her time. basically i want a dog to spoil,take to the beach, woods and other long walks,to cuddle up with me when im home alone watchin a movie..the usual, i dont want a big dog like a golden retriever, even tho they are class, for me i just prefer smaller.please advise...im all confused and dont know what to do...thanks a mill
