I have a loving male cocker spaniel. He is 4 years old and is my little baby. I love to take him to a lake or in a field and let him run free. It makes me feel alive seeing him enjoying his freedom. I also take him on bike tours or when I go skating. He is very sociable and loves to play and just hang around with other loving and sociable dogs like him. He is not castrated because I believe it takes the life out of an animal (the instinct and its freedom). I love to be in nature and with animals, like every animal lover, I sometimes feel like animals have deeper feelings than people. I don't believe in violence against any animals but simply in firm and repeated commands that lead to success. I also believe that no animal should be forced to do tricks anything that is unnatural to its nature.
