Have just fallen in love with a nice soft dog bed for Harvey.

I know he's only little now, but what size should I get so it lasts into adulthood?

Medium is 22" width, Large 26".

Hubby will rue the day I discovered the muddy paws website!

If you buy the large at least there will be plenty of space if you decide Harvey needs a friend!

PMSL!

Duncan just choked!
 
Otto has this bed http://www.gorpets.co.uk/products/1.htm, it is 32 inches. He is 21 inches to the shoulder and 21 inches from shoulder to base of tail, and has PLENTY of room in it!

I would say 22 inches would be fine, as a fully grown CS is about 15/16 inches to the shoulder, but if you want him to have lots of room 26 inches would probably be fine too!
 
Must admit my first thought was kingsize minimum......Patches I was naughty this morning....got up at 5 and let Ruby out for a wee and then went back to bed. Felt mean putting her back in the puppy cage so she ended up on the bed.....Im on the slippery slope!

Poppy has that bed too, its lovely and squidgey. She has the 18" size though as she's only a JRT and likes to snuggle.

If you buy too small a size and puppy grows out of it, I'm sure if you have any cats they would be more than willing to take posession.

Oh I know Harvey will sleep on our bed too, I'm not too proud to admit that!

Soo...here's his night-time bed, I just want a bed for downstairs snuggling too!

I reckon those Spaniel eyes means most of them end up on their human's bed.
 
Henry has a 36 inch crate, he is quite tall though, so he needed the large size to allow him to sit up.

When I was buying all his stuff before I got him I forgot his size so bought with a labrador in mind cos that's what I was used to - he rattled about like a pea in a bucket!

My dog crate is quite big too, as I bought it for a Border Collie.

I have gone with the 22 inch for now. If he's anything like Jasper was, he'll much prefer sleeping on the settee and our bed to a dog bed!

Figured he'd be more snuggly on the smaller bed whilst he's young.

Just taken delivery of a "How to train your Cocker Spaniel" book and a DVD. I am determined not to make the same mistakes with him as I did with Jasper. I WILL be able to have Harvey run off lead and recall.....I will I tell you!

ETA: Hen is gorgeous!

Do you have any pics of his as a pup.....actually I'm going to make a separate post!

Should that not be 'How your Cocker Spaniel trains you'?

Quite possibly so, Slinky! LOL

If all else fails I can use the training book to bop him over the head when he has "air head" moment....Jasper had many.

I wonder why I opted for another show bred one!?!

Thank you! He is a rescue, so no puppy pictures - the picture of him in his basket was the first full day I had him, he had allowed me about 3 hours of sleep the night before, hammering on the kitchen door and shrieking to be allowed out

I was so pleased when he actually went to sleep in his actual bed that I had to take a picture to send to my mum, who I had just a rather long, tired and emotional conversation with (I need my sleep)

However, he sleeps in his bed every night now, has never been on my bed except for a special Sunday morning lie-in treat
