I wasn’t trying to worry you trigg! There was a time that it was linked solely to cockers, but as you say, modern research has it linked to other breeds. I guess that its the downside of line breeding. You get amazing dogs generally, but will get the odd wrong’n.
You do have a handsome pup...
Cockers are incredible. Make sure its from working stock though. The show cockers can turn crazy out of the blue. The workers look much nicer and they are soft as pudding! An ex partner used to train and work them, so I’ve got a real fondness for them now.
Be warned though, you need to exercise...
