American Cockers History

We have been showing Newfoundlands for well over 15 years and have enjoyed many ring successes with this benevolent breed. My Daughter Jade was desperate for a dog of her own to show, she found the Newfs too much of a handful. Having always admired the American Cocker, for their beauty and glamour but also their playful fun loving nature we decided to share our home with one or two... LOL

I fell in love with the American Cocker and now could never see my life or home without one. The breed has an intrinsic nature which fills your heart and home. My partner calls them feel good dogs as they always make you feel good when they are near. Never sad or sorry the American Cocker is full of joy and life.

Our dogs are our pets, we keep a very small kennel deliberately in order to keep that one to one relationship that both the dogs and i crave. Because of this we sometimes have retired show dogs or two or three years old who may be available to a loving home. It is not that we dont love these dogs it is because we love them so much that we feel they deserve to have a wonderful home life being 'the only one' for some lucky human!

Obviously there are the 'special ones' that stay with us no matter what. These dogs share our home and our hearts.

As a breeder i only ever breed to keep something back. I try very hard to find the right mate for my girls to try to produce a Cocker Spaniel which is both beautiful, functional and sound in mind. I check and research pedigrees and try to find combinations which i feel will help to preserve this breed for future generations. You can be confident that the puppies i breed are brought into this world with care and consideration, they are then raised with love, cuddles, and a warm and happy environment. I try very hard to give each and every puppy the very best start in life so that when they leave here they can be prepared for a new life and can become priceless members of their new families.

I just hope you all can love this breed the way i do.

Just another update to let you know Dusty is in her element. She has well and truly settled into the family. Elliot is in love with her and so are all his school friends... J Jarman

They were most taken with her at the vets and the vet knew of you. They said they dont get many dogs like that in and what a fantastic pedigree she is. I keep saying it but your dogs are a credit to you and we are very lucky to have Jazmine xx ... S Arnott

Neo is the most loved and spoilt dog on the planet! Everywhere we go with him he is admired for his temperament and of course good looks...he is such a poser and loves attention... thank you for making such a diffeence to our family with our gorgeous Neo xxx.... S Lewis
