As a child I had always had a love for animals in general
and a passion for dogs and horses in particular (don't most little
girls? ;)). My solitary hours were spent pouring over nature books,
long walks in the woods, or over the drawing board sketching and
painting birds and animals. I took an interest in purebred dogs
at about the age of 10. I have been involved in English Cockers
since 1976, and acquired my first dog, a blue roan bitch, in 1978.
My first dog proved not to be up to snuff for the breed ring so
I concentrated on obedience with her and contented myself with
studying the breed and making future plans. During this early
time I did note a couple things I thought worth working on ---
No one at the time, it seemed, was trying to breed for actual
dual purpose dogs (hunting and showing) and there was the distinct
absence of solid liver in the modern showbred English Cocker gene
pool, a fact that was true all over the world. Here, I thought,
were two goals that would be challenging and, hopefully, would
have something positive to contribute to the betterment of the
breed.
