Message from current owner/carer:
Tom is an adorable MEDIUM size dog which is very gentle & loves to manja with people. Just as any other cocker, there should be extra care on their ears and paws, or infection might occurs. Which means it is a must to be groom professionally, it is advisable to bring Tom to groomers at least once a month if you do not have proper grooming skills. Besides, wish to remind that cocker do sheds their hairs frequently, you should brush their hair daily and bath them once a week.
Since Tom is a male dog, instinctly he will do marking. But he is trainable, i've trained him to pee & poo at a spot, and he did it most of the time, but we have to expect his instinct will drives him to mark his territory.
When Tom first came, his teeth are filled with tartar, we have brought him for scaling, which means extra care have to be given to him, such as you must not feed him with canned food or human food, it is advisable to feed kibbles.
We have paid for the vet bills, but we are not going to ask for any refund. What we ask for is the new owner to neuter Tom. The new owner will have to provide us a deposit of RM300, once the dog is neutered, we shall refund in FULL. This is to ensure that Tom will not end up being bred without proper care. We will remain our right to claim back Tom if he is not being neutered within 1 month.
