It was warm and cuddly and friendly, and I like dogs anyway, so I have nothing against it and wouldn't want it to come to any harm. That sadly is as far as it goes. The breed holds no appeal for me. Luckily Sprog thinks it is wonderful and cute, and she's the one who is house training it right now The good news is that it will only require one 10 minute walk a day, and apparently they are very placid and good with children. Which is more than can be said for a cocker spaniel puppy!
