Welcome Friends!

English Cocker Spaniels are an active breed and appreciate a good run at least once a day. Zipper (above), will be turning 6 years old this month. Zippy's temperament is friendly and outgoing. Very little bothers him, he is an easy-going happy boy. However....should he feel he has not been given adequate attention he may show his annoyance by spreading the contents of the kitchen bin around the house! Very naughty. Fortunately this does not happen often.

Zipper's favorite activities include eating, sniffing, meeting people and other dogs, roaming off leash, swimming, car rides, kangaroo spotting, playing ball, walkies, protecting our yard from feline invaders, tummy rubs and sleeping. Zipper is very gentle with little children and smaller animals.

Zippy doesn't like bath time, taking medicine, hot weather or mum and dad leaving for work in the morning.

Sooty and Zipper love to run in the wide open spaces. This photo was taken in at an oval near our home. The small black streak at the top left hand corner is Sooty. Both photos were taken early in 2006. At this time we didn't realise that Sooty had hip dysplasia (Sooty was diagnosed with hip dysplasia this week and mummy cried for a whole hour after leaving the vet).

Sooty has just turned 8 years old and is also male. He is very affectionate with a joyful, sweet disposition. Sooty loves food, sleeping, being cuddled, playing ball, rides in the car, swimming, kangaroo spotting and walkies. Sooty doesn't like visiting the vet, staying at kennels or being parted, for any length of time, from his family pack.
