What a little sweetheart,lovely choice!! what happened ith the other pup? x

 

[Petsrlove]

Thank you...we think he is amazing! Long story on other pup, we just felt he was not the right fit for our family. We just fell in love the second we saw this lil guy and KNEW he was the one! We think he is a Chocolate/White Roan Parti. Can see spots coming through his chocolate.

Congratulations. We bring our puppy home on friday too.

So have you met either of these puppies or did you just pick them based on looks? They are both gorgeous dogs!

 

[Petsrlove]

No, unfortunately. They were both across the country from us. I have researched for months and tried to pick reputable breeders and then I went for looks and temperament on what they told me and pics I saw. I would have loved to been able to met them prior, but that was just not possible. What are you getting???

So is he being shipped to you? How exciting!

Ours is a tri colour technically, but she is mostly black and white. She has tan eyebrows and a tan bum, that colour may develop more, but it doesn't matter either way to me! She is all black on top (except for a white forhead) and then all white on the bottom. It looks like she was dipped in white paint! We had a choice between her or her sister who is a blue merle. Her sister had gorgeous colouring and before we met the puppies i was leaning towards the merle. However i fell in love with Olive so we went with her.

I saw on another thread of yours that you like the roan colouring. I had never seen roan colouring before coming here and I think it's beautiful. I asked the breeder i am going with about roan colouring and she had no idea what i was talking about! I've tried looking for roan puppies around here (not for me, but just out of curiousity) and i can't find any. I had started to wonder if it was something found mostly in english cockers, but it looks like yours is a roan so i guess they do exist in North America!

 

[Petsrlove]

Yes, they do exist in North America, BUT I have been looking for MONTHS and have only seen ONE other than mine. I am the same way as you, until being on this forum, I had never heard or seen one, so they must be rare...maybe not so much in the UK? I LOVE unusual and unique so he caught my eye. Your Olive sounds just beautiful! I can't wait to see pics of her! I love your avatar pic....ohhhh, isn't it sooo exciting! Yes, I am a nervous wreck to go to the airport!

 

[Petsrlove]

And yes, you are right...from what I have researched, Roan is mainly in English Cockers and is rare in American Cockers... No wonder I had such a hard time finding one!
