After a cat photo, it's nice to balance things with a dog photo. This is my niece's dog, Lucy, who we visited in the summer! Lucy is a lovely dog, probably slightly older than Lina but not by much. Despite her resting here, she is very different to our laid back Lina and a terrible food thief, if she thinks she can get away with it!! Don't be fooled by those innocent eyes!!

Dave: Hey Eva, where are you going?
Eva: Somewhere over there.
Dave: But you do realize that we are actually all over here right now.
Eva: I'll keep that in mind. But, I think there may be something more interesting over there right now.
Dave: Does it have something to do with ducks or geese?
Eva: What makes you say that?
Dave: Several historical experiences.
Eva: Well, let me tell you that this has nothing to do with ducks or geese.
Dave: Well, that's a relief. I thought you were swimming after birds again.
Eva: Yup, neither ducks nor geese. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a pelican to find. I saw him fly by a few minutes ago and I think he may have a fish for me.

This photo is why we can't fully trust her off lead at the cabin. Those Brittany instincts run deep. Very deep.

About the Breed
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. The Cocker is the AKC's smallest sporting spaniel, standing about 14 to 15 inches. The coat comes in enough colors and patterns to please any taste. The well-balanced body is sturdy and solid, and these quick, durable gundogs move with a smooth, easy gait. Cockers are eager playmates for kids and are easily trained as companions and athletes. They are big enough to be sporty, but compact enough to be portable. A Cocker in full coat rewards extra grooming time by being the prettiest dog on the block. These energetic sporting dogs love playtime and brisk walks.
This is Dewey, our newest Tibetan spaniel.
Hanne: He's a Scandanavian Tibbie. His Dad is from Finland.
So this photo was a quick capture on my old iPhone whilst playing in the garden. Just proving the old adage that the best phone is the one you have with you!

A dignified and mellow hunting companion of kings, the Clumber Spaniel is the largest of the AKC flushing spaniels. For those who can handle some shedding and drooling, the amiable Clumber is an amusing best friend and a gentlemanly housemate. Clumber Spaniels are powerful bird dogs of heavy bone, built long and low, with a massive head.
This is her typical look basically saying "I did not empty the bin all over the kitchen floor, and I do therefore deserve a biscuit!"

A dignified and mellow hunting companion of kings, the Clumber Spaniel is the largest of the AKC flushing spaniels. For those who can handle some shedding and drooling, the amiable Clumber is an amusing best friend and a gentlemanly housemate. Clumber Spaniels are powerful bird dogs of heavy bone, built long and low, with a massive head.
Cocker spaniels were originally bred as hunting dogs in the UK, with the term 'cocker' deriving from their use to hunt the Eurasian woodcock.
The breed was first recognized by The Kennel Club (KC) in 1892. In the United Kingdom, two distinct strains of the cocker spaniel have developed, the show strain and the working strain. While both strains share the same breed ancestry, selective breeding for different purposes has resulted in notable physical and behavioural differences.
According to the KC, the size of a show cocker is 15.5 to 16 in. (394 to 406 mm) at the shoulder for males, and 15 to 15.5 in. (381 to 394 mm) for females. The weight of a show dog should be 28 to 32 lb. (12.7 to 14.5 kg). Show cockers are bred to meet the breed standard, and typically have more domed skulls, longer and more luxuriant ears, and a thicker, silkier coat with prominent feathering on the legs, chest, and tail.
In contrast, working cockers are bred primarily for field performance and hunting ability, particularly for flushing game birds into the air to be shot, and then using their eyes and nose to locate the downed bird and retrieve it with a soft mouth. As a result, they are often slightly taller and leaner, with flatter skulls, shorter ears, and shorter, finer coats that require less maintenance. Their feathering is minimal, reducing the risk of debris getting caught during field work. Additionally, working cockers tend to have higher stamina, quicker reflexes, and a more intense drive to work, which makes them highly suitable for active environments or gundog roles. Their high energy levels and focus can make them more demanding as household pets without proper training and mental stimulation.
Despite these differences, both strains remain part of the same breed and share many of the friendly and affectionate traits characteristic of cocker spaniels.
Cocker spaniels are the second most popular dog breed in the UK according to statistics released by the KC with 22,211 registrations in 2009, beaten only by the Labrador retriever with 40,943. In third place was the English springer spaniel with 12,700.
