Just to clarify, the puppy will obviously be left alone when I go grocery shopping, gym and daughter's playgroups etc but not for consecutive hours on end. In my pre-baby life I was working a 6 day week as a full-time engineer so in comparison I feel I spend all my time at home. Must also add that I have previously owned a Golden Retriever that lived to the ripe old age of 15. Toyed with the idea of another Golden but decided that a Cocker Spaniel suited our life more.

I have been looking for a Cocker Spaniel puppy for a few months now with no luck and after seeing others have some success posting here I thought I would join and see if anyone can point me in the right direction. My husband and I have a one year old daughter. I'm sure that is why I have not had much luck with breeders. I personally see it as a positive as it means that I am currently only working 2 days a week (and will continue to work part time until my daughter starts school). All interactions while she is little would be heavily supervised. We are located in regional NSW approximately 5.5hours from Sydney which has meant I have been unable to attended any show events to approach breeders. We have a beautiful new home in a quiet cul de sac which in addition to a fenced backyard has a very large parks and walkways within 50m. As for our lifestyle, my husband and I are both in our mid-twenties and very active. I have been in contact with our local obedience club and plan on joining their weekly classes once we find our pup. I am after a solid (no preference black or gold) or black and tan coloured male. Ideally located in NSW so I could visit and meet the breeder in person. We are in no rush for our puppy and are more than happy to wait but I can't even get to the point of being on a wait list at the moment. The lovely breeders I have spoken to are not breeding solids. Hopefully someone can help!
