Hell, I don't want to put a damper on English Cocker Spaniels - but generally speaking, they are rather silly in nature. That's not to say they are not cute and adorable. But generally they just are not on the same street of cleverness as that of a Corgi. American Cockers, at least the ones in NZ, are much less good natured than are the English variety and the Americans tend to be more highly strung. But I do love the good looks and the coat of an American Cocker.
It will pay to think twice before getting this Corgi puppy because she has a history you know nothing about - and I'm not just talking about her recent history. Her background - parentage - might be questionable. The ideal is to know exactly what you are taking on for the next 13-15 years and be in a position to consult with responsible breeders of your puppy.
The USA is full of Pembroke Corgis - despite its vastness of size, it should be the easiest place on earth to get a nicely bred Pem. With your internal airline services, no Corgi in the USA should be unobtainable. Maybe your breeders are pricing themselves out of the market. Corgis are half the cost to buy in NZ and there is a big demand for them here as well.
