I wanted to have a dog for a long time, but my parents were not to be persuaded. They said in each case: “You are still too young for a dog.When you are older and you have you´re own house, you can hold as many dogs, as you want. So I had to give contently with my stuffed dogs and gave up the long begging for the first time.A few years passed , at that time I was only 6 years old. Then with 11 the topic “dog” approached again and I caught to speak about it. One day my father drove with me on a Dog Show into Nürnberg. There were many breed of dogs, which I liked, but at that time I actually had only eyes for Golden Retrievers and said: “If I ever should gotten a dog, then it should be a Golden Retriever! “My opinion had not changed within 5 years. But I did not have a chance to convince my father to buy me a dog. “A dog in our house that is impossible”, he said in each case. To my 13 birthday I got a dog book from my aunt, in which all of the FCI recognized dog breeds were. I paged through the entire book, until I stopped and regarded to me exactly the picture on the side. Over the picture stood" English Cocker Spaniel” . I passage immediately the characteristics and was inspired by the breed, although I probably did not see them ever in my whole life or it was not really noticeable to me at least. I showed it to my mother and she also found the Cocker Spaniel in the picture totally beautiful, although also she had not ever seen such a dog before . In the next few weeks it was the only topic of my mother and me. We hadn´t dedicated father into this thing yet, because we both considered it better , to keep it for us first times . I inquired further about this breed and wanted to find out as much as possible over their nature and their character. There mum came the idea to search a breeder in our proximity and to ask them for a discussion . In the Internet, on the side http://www.jagdspaniel-klub.de we found a set of breeders in our proximity without cogitate for a long time I clicked one of these homepages spent lots of minutes in this page. Then after approximately 5 days I sent a email to the breeder Mrs. Gerhard (Snoopys). I asked her if there are present puppies and whether we could come and visit her to inquire about these breed. She wrote back immediately and said that it would not be a problem to come and visit her. So we agreed up on a date with it and 3 days later we drove to her . I was very excited and was pleased. I saw hope again that my dream will come true. The 15 minutes in the car seemed eternally to me . As we arrived we heard already very loud bark from the garden Suddenly there was a hurdle of dogs running around the corner and they jumped at us highly. I was surprised of the extremely dear natures of this dogs. Mrs Gerhard informed us extensively about this breed and already after a short discussion we knew a lot. Mum and I were in love with these dogs. On the way home mum and I sweared us to do the best to persuade father´s meaning , what was not very easy. At first he did not let talk with himself at all. After a few days my chances got better. I had very many good arguments ready and nothing could be and I always had the last word. Mum and I visited Mrs. Gerhard still more frequently. She showed us also the completely small puppies, but I was fall in love in the 4 months young, black Cocker male . After somewhat longer time I could persuade mine father in addition with me to drive to Mrs. Gerhard to look at the dogs. My father conversed with Mrs. Gerhard while I played with the dogs .After short time I saw everything in the face of my father . It was clear, it won´t give a little dog. With the argument "the floppy ears does not please me " the discussion terminated on the way home. I was very sad about it. My whole trouble was in vain. In the holidays, was my father 1 1/2 weeks on a business trip and there we had not forgotten the dogs ye. We uses the opportunity. Mum and I decided, to take one of Mrs. Gerhards dogs for this time on sample. Mrs. Gerhard agreed with it. Thanks for that! Of course it was immediately clear that it should be the black meanwhile 4 1/2 months young male. Holidays were beautiful with Sammy, how we called him, with agreement of Mrs. Gerhard. But my father came unexpectedly already came home one day further and we knew that only, when he stood before our entry door. To the question, what the dog makes here, I answered that he is only in care. My father set himself nerved into his armchair. All suffered under his bad mood, only Sammy. One could do mine, he knew what the matter was and he wanted to do everything to remain over here. He set himself lively forward the armchair and begged through pinch and bite into the feet of my father for attention. And see he turned his view to Sammy. He slowly took his hand and stroked him carefully. We had observed everything from the rear It was as in film. All was perfect. The bad mood lowered itself immediately. My mum and I loughed. On the next day my father drove with the words : "I´ll think once again about it, but not too many hopes " to work. Again in a bad mood I went to school and came also sadly, despite B into the Maths test, which actually was very good, home. My mum was pleased and give me the tip to call my father. Not straight enthusiastically of the idea I did it finally nevertheless and told him of Maths. He was so proud and lucky that he just said: “ Keep the dog”. I thought I had cross-examined myself. I was the luckiest girl.So I finally came to my Dog.Now he is of us. Dad loves him totally and goes regularly with walking him or plays with him. Who would have thought that! I learned not to give up. Thanks Karin for this lovely dog. I love him. He is the best I ever had.
