Description:
Poppit and her brother Popcorn are pure bred Cockers from a professional breeder. They were given as a gift to a woman by her daughter. Although see appreciated the gesture, she really doesn't want a pair of puppies. As a benefactor of Pet Rescue by Judy, she knew just who to call to find them good homes! And that is what we will do. Like a lot of cocker spaniels, Poppit seems uneasy around children so we think it best that she go to an adult home. They both enjoyed playing with my Bassett hound and wagged their tails when my cat sniffed their crate. Poppit is smaller than her brother and rather dependent upon him. It is our hope that they will be adopted together. They seem quite petite, but of course they are still quite young. Please be aware that Cocker Spaniels require more attentiona than the average bear - they require grooming, attention to ear and eye health, and lots of love. Of course, the love part is easy with a sweetheart like Poppit!

***Are you familiar with the Cocker Spaniel? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, they are cheerful, sweet, and sensitive. The Cocker Spaniel is respectful of its master's authority without much challenge. Merry and endearing. A happy tail-wagger. Gentle and trusting, with average intelligence. They are lively, playful and devoted. Cockers will do okay in an apartment if they are adequately exercised, and are fairly active indoors. A small yard is sufficient. The American Cocker Spaniel is smaller than the English Cocker Spaniel and has a different conformation. The name "Cocker" comes from the woodcock, a game bird these spaniels flushed particularly well. Today, the Cocker Spaniel serves primarily as a companion and glamorous show dog. It can also be used for hunting, tracking, retrieving, watchdogging and agility. They have a life expectancy of 12-15 years.
