Description:
Faith is a lovely, loving puppy. Originally adopted from a designer breeder, this little Cocker Spaniel/Shih Tzu is in need of a new home. My heart is broken. Her owner is going in for chemotherapy and no one, including her own sister, will care for her dog for her. In tears, she called Judy and asked that we find her puppy a new home. Of course we will, but how sad we are for this lady!
After picking up little Faith, Judy came straight to my home so I could take some photos of her. They aren't the best because it was twilight. This puppy was so scared ~ she kept looking toward Judy for reassurance. Because of the lighting, my flash was going off. The third time, Faith let out a scream of fright. Isn't that sad? Judy got down next to her and told her it was ok. She quickly calmed down. The interesting thing was how she responded to my husband. As soon as she heard his voice she lifted up her head and started wagging her tail. It gives me assurance that she is going to be ok. We'll find her a loving home, I know we will!

***Are you familiar with the Cocker Spaniel? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, they are cheerful, sweet, and sensitive. The Cocker Spaniel is respectful of its master's authority without much challenge. Merry and endearing. A happy tail-wagger. Gentle and trusting, with average intelligence. They are lively, playful and devoted. Cockers will do okay in an apartment if they are adequately exercised, and are fairly active indoors. A small yard is sufficient. The American Cocker Spaniel is smaller than the English Cocker Spaniel and has a different conformation. The name "Cocker" comes from the woodcock, a game bird these spaniels flushed particularly well. Today, the Cocker Spaniel serves primarily as a companion and glamorous show dog. It can also be used for hunting, tracking, retrieving, watchdogging and agility. They have a life expectancy of 12-15 years.
