MY PERSOAL OPINION
The Cocker Spaniels should have docked tails. Docking is done within 2 or 3 days of birth when the nervous system isn't fully developed. I've seen docking done and other than the mother's anxiety over separation, it takes about 3 seconds usually without more than a squeak from the puppy. It would be very dangerous to anesttetize a puppy. The Cocker Spaniel is an underbrush hunting dog. They wag their tail when hunting. An undocked tail can be injured and even broken while they work. If undocked and unshaved, the tail can get caught by briars and thorns. Neither the AKC or the American Spaniel Club prohibit or encourage docking but all the illustrations are of Cockers with docked tails. Tails are docked for the same reasons that dewclaws are removed - to prevent injury.
Jarvis Cocker es conocido por haber sido el líder de la banda inglesa Pulp.
Influido por el synth-pop, el rock y el glam, moviéndose entre la oscuridad del new wave y la luminosidad del pop, haciendo de la diferencia un orgullo, Jarvis Cocker se convirtió en un auténtico ícono de los noventa.
Luego de una extensa carrera al frente de una de las bandas más reconocidas de la música inglesa y unos cuantos discos, editó su primer álbum en solitario en 2006 denominado "Jarvis". Su último trabajo demuestra un Cocker más adulto y preocupado por el mundo que heredarán sus hijos.
Actualmente está radicado en París junto a su esposa Camille Bidault-Waddington, una diseñadora de moda, y los hijos de ambos.

Sporting Group: The merry and frolicsome Cocker Spaniel, with his big, dreamy eyes and impish personality, is one of the world's best-loved breeds. They were developed as hunting dogs, but Cockers gained their wide popularity as all-around companions. Those big, dark eyes; that sweet expression; those long, lush ears that practically demand to be touched' no wonder the Cocker spent years as America's most popular breed.
This is a traditional pub in Sheldon in Derbyshire. I was looking to find some old red phone boxes and came across this red box at the side of the pub and I thought they looked well together.
Yes, that is what it is called by the locals. The polite version is simply the rock. Located in the Barrington Tops near Glouscter NSW, Australia. My wife remembered seeing this on an old episode of The Leyand Brothers, so when we were in the neighbourhood it was a must see. (For scale the it is around the 8-10 metres high!)
This is one of the few rock formations that acutally looked like its name, even from 3 sides. And the locals say that it gets snow on top of it during winter..... make of that what you will!
And next time I am up there I will get the proper co-ords for future reference.
