 CARA's Little Star
Chandler
Submitted by: Suzanne Boquet
Story:
Chandler was Chuck and my first dog
together in 1986 and my first cocker since I was a very
little girl. I apparently had a little parti cocker when I
was two or three and all I remember is crying when my dad
told me he died.
At any rate, Chandler belonged to some friends of Chucks,
and they were going to have to get rid of him due to him
fighting with their other dog. He was about 3 when we got
him and just the most beautiful guy. Buff and the big wide
cocker face and eyes. It was love at first sight and he was
such a great dog. Regrettably, he got ill and had to have
his spleen removed. I don't really understand what happened
and the Dr. said he should have been fine, but he never
really recovered and we had to have him put down less then a
month later, he was only 8 years old.
But while we had him, we found someone who was looking for a
nice looking dog to breed her pretty red cocker with and so
we had mated Chandler with her and got to choose a pup. She
was a beautiful dog but had what I call, "head noises" but
had 6 darling puppies.
