Returning puppy to breeder Has anyone does this?

I just found our cocker spaniel on a database and he was a show cocker (I never knew that there was a difference in temperament between working cockers and show cockers in those days).

Even so I will say, although he was a delightful bundle of energy, he was also very determined.

I'm not sure Maybee was his kennel called Alpstatt?

I'm a little out of touch with the world of Bernese now ( But Id have one tomorrow :-) )

I have an eight month old golden cocker spaniel and he too is very determined. He has a lovely nature though and he is a sweet little chap. I had underestimated how lively puppies are though , although we have had a dog previously. He certainly keeps us busy. DH and I are working as a tag team at the moment so we get a breather from him. I wouldn't like to have a dog if I was single. It takes two of us to deal with one little puppy. I dont know how we managed three children, a job and a dog previously. Age obviously has a lot to do with it.

His daughter has taken over now and they’re called Liskarn. They now breed Newfoundland’s, Australian Shepherds and Russian Blacks. Must have stopped breeding Bernese.

They are beautiful dogs aren’t they....

I'd never heard of Australian Shepherds so I looked them up and was surprised to read:

The Australian Shepherd is a breed of herding dog from the United States. Developed in California in the 19th century

Crikey. I didn’t know that. I did meet someone with an Australian Shepherd pup a few years ago but didn’t google it at the time. I do write down the names of any dogs I meet when out walking so I can greet them by name next time I see them. People must think I’m mad as I say hello and goodbye to them if I bump into them again. If I don’t write it down I’ll forget.

I assumed they were Kelpies like Red Dog ( a film I loved but can’t bear to watch again).

I thought they'd be like a German Shepherd or Australian cattle dog, not a dog with long fluffy fur.
