๐ฆ Spaniel spotlight! Weโre excited about this one! ๐๐
Meet Morgan the Sprocker (English Springer x working cross) and Minnie the Working Cocker, the spaniel duo behind ๐๐ถ
Morgan joined the family in 2016 as an eight-week old Sprocker puppy who was the result of accidental breeding.
Imagine a toddler with a packet of blue sweets ๐ญ a couple of cans of Red Bull and after a quick sniff of speed. Thatโs Morgan. Morgan is CRAZY.
Whilst he appears outwardly bullish, he is actually quite a nervous dog. He is ball obsessed and I mean that most sincerely. Problematically so. He is super intelligent, learns tricks really fast and is an excellent dog model and professional poseur.
Morgan is also the most affectionate dog Iโve ever known and will never be found away from my feet earning him the nickname โVelcroโ (amongst other far worse names).
We adopted Minnie in February 2023 from Spaniel Aid UK. Originally called Bunty, Minnie had been found as an abandoned stray in poor condition.
Minnie lives up to her name. With big ears, a pointed face and huge eyes, she looks just like a little brown mouse. She was named after Minnie Mouse as she really is mini but has a BIG personality. And just like Minnie Mouse she loves to accessorise! ๐โจ
She adores people and LOVES other dogs, delighting in making new four-legged friends when she is out and about on a walk.
Minnie is super affectionate and trusting and her favourite place is to be snuggled into someoneโs neck. When she is tired, she makes herself a burrow and sleeps just like a mouse ๐ญ
Unsure of her breed makeup we did a DNA test which revealed she is 100% working cocker spaniel. Imagine, Morganโs surprise to find he was the mongrel of the family!!!
Adopting Minnie has been great for Morgan who loves her company and we think of her as the missing piece of our furry family puzzle. With a head tilt that is on point, Minnie has gone from abandoned stray to most pampered pooch in the wag of a tail ๐พ
