This

Please take into
consideration all costs of dog ownership and be
sure it fits into your budget. You will need to
allow for the cost of adequate fencing, quality
food, veterinary expenses and grooming. Average
costs can vary, but average between $30 to $70 a
month, not including emergency medical care. This
breed requires frequent brushing to prevent
matting and needs to be professionally groomed
every 4-6 weeks.
Dog ownership is
a MAJOR responsibility, and should not be taken
lightly under any circumstances. We only want the
best for our puppies, and want them in homes
where they are considered important members of
the family, not "just a dog". A
puppy depends totally on you for all his needs,
and is no different than bringing home a human
baby. They need lots of love, attention and
structured discipline. Dogs in general, and
English Cockers especially, are very people
oriented, and look to you for leadership and
companionship. If you feel you are not up
to this lifelong commitment, please consider
waiting to buy a dog until your life is better
suited.
