Hi to all my name is Simona and I have an insane passion for the English cocker spaniel.
I have grown my dogs with "maternal" love respecting their hunters nature and inseparable and affectionate friends for the whole family. Having a four year-old child and waiting for another one I can quietly affirm that the held cocker "mordant", in the years passed for guilt of breeders not much serious, today is a dog balanced and serene that well suits him for the family life and to the "injustices" because what they suffer from children is really this, entrust I have seen to put them tassels, dresses and bonnets for dolls! Who has babies I believe that also confide in the calm to be able to have a dog in the house able to be able to be compared with them with extreme sweetness. The equilibrium and the joy of the cocker that it is expressed in the continuous movement of the tail, for its tenacity, its passion is also a stupendous companion of life always careful to the family demands but also a good assistant in the hunting... sport for which it has been being for years selected, but being extremely fast and versatile well it suits him for whatever type of sport as for instance the agility... in short an incomparable friend for everybody! I beg me let's remember us that beyond a delicious aspect and an irresistible look the cocker is also a hunting dog and as such it must be respected.
The purpose that I will try to pursue in my just initiated adventure is, first of all, look select healthy dogs and to maintain entire all physical qualities of the English cocker spaniel, characteristics that have abducted my heart and I also hope for the heart of those people that will have the fortune to possess one of it...!

... Neptune is the cocker of the owners to the third floor, right side... Neptune is the Badoises dog , or more exactly of Madmoiselle Badoise, that she studies law to Assas and she organizes parties with other cocker owners that study law to Assas. I have a great liking for Neptune. Yes! We esteem a lot , perhaps in virtue of the complicity born by the fact that the feelings of the one are immediately accessible for the other one. Neptune feels that I love him; its desires are evident. The beautiful one is that it persists to be a dog, while his owner would want that it was a gentleman. When it goes out in the courtyard, to the leash of tawny leather, it looks with greed the muddy water puddles that there are in the idleness. His owner from a dry hit to the yoke, he lowers the buttock up to earth and, without so many ceremonies, it is licked the attributes. Athena, the ridiculous whippet of the Meurisses, makes him slobber as a slippery satyr and it pants to the only thought, while its head is filled with imaginations. The particularly funny thing in the cockers is their swaying walk when they are in a facetious mood; it is like if small rubber bands under the legs projected them upward but softly, without starts. This same movement also shakes the legs and the ears as the rolling with a boat and the cocker, small nice ship that ploughs the dry land, hands in these urban places a touch of maritime of which I am greedy. Neptune, to conclude, is a big glutton, ready to everything for a crust of stale bread. When his owner passes in front of refusals place , he throws as a crazy in direction of the one, with the tongue loafers, wagging the tail. For Diane Badoise is a desperation! According to this noble soul, her dog should be as the good society girls of Savannah, in the confederate South before the war of secession, that they could find only husband if they faked not to have at all appetite. And Neptune makes the hungry Yankee instead.
