Love working cockers. This thread really depresses me, the missus won't let me get a dawg

This is my first cooker after years of Labs, he runs on rocket fuel and never stops. When people mention Dogs and SHTF I always think my dogs would earn more then there keep with regards food etc and this doesn't include security and companionship. I train my dogs for shooting and family life and couldn't imagine life without a dog or two.

Thanks Jack, but I found the pics via google.
We're a Scottie household though, and the couple of months between losing our last one and the new furry tornado moving in were the worse time in the last eight years.
I just don't get how some people are willingly dogless.....

there's plenty of dogs in "rescue centres" needing new homes, that's where I'd be heading IF I wanted another dog, I don't think our Cairn terrier would be very amused though!
We have 2 Lurchers they are very vocal when people come to the door which is great as they have BIG barks they are both daft with people but will alert us to other people. They also get protective when out and about if we see someone on our walks and they don't fit the area (no dog in the middle of nowhere sort of thing) they'll heel until what they consider the threat has passed.
They make great family pets and have a huge prey drive both are rescue dogs from the local Dogs Home the problem with rescue dogs is sometimes they come with "issues" that require working through.
If at first you don't succeed, excessive force is usually the answer.
recently our neighbors hamster escaped and somehow found it's way into our living room , the jack Russel was on it like a flash and since he made his first kill it is like he found his purpose in life !!!
He is continuously searching/ hunting , the instinct is so strong .
In a shtf situation he will probably be great at rabbiting .
never tell her that, she has enough issues when one of the cats bring home a mouse or frog
