Puppies
This page will hopefully guide you to litters of puppies known to us either by reputable show breeders or a family whose bitch has had a litter to one of our stud dogs, whom we would recommend. Details of the litter are shown with some photos and a contact number. Please note we cannot be held responsible for any problems that you might occur, we can only recommend from the knowledge we have at this moment in time.

Our dogs are pets first and foremost, they are dogs who play with our sons and romp around in the fields and sometimes share our beds. They are not caged up but we do advocate crates for safety purposes. I have my dogs eye tested and hip scored where appropriate and DNA tested if parents are not clear/normal, to enable the breed to prosper in health. We care for the puppies within a family setting, when they are not feeding & sleeping they meet the other dogs and our 2 young boys. We welcome enquiries from genuine, honest cocker lovers. Our puppies will not go to homes where both parties work full time as I feel a cocker spaniel needs plenty of human contact, we will be quite strict on where our puppies go and may also ask you to complete a questionnaire in order to ensure the right home for the right dog. I also know other reputable breeders and will pass on the relevant information.
Cocker Spaniels are lively dogs who love human contact. Before purchasing a puppy it is worth while researching the breed well by using a variety of sources, Most libraries will stock the books if you do not wish to purchase one. Dog shows are a good way of meeting a variety of cocker people and to chat about the pro's and cons of the breed.
Remember puppies are lively, playful, mischievous and willful. They have sharp teeth that can bite when playing and claws that scratch when little and can get into all sorts of trouble. They need lots of sleep to grow, but when they are awake they need constant supervision. They are a big dog in a little body and can quickly become dominant if allowed to be, which is a recipe for disaster. You need to assert your dominance over the puppy and make sure it is the lowest in the human family pack. Although they are great family pets they can be over exuberant when young children are around and some children may actually be scared of a puppy. Be honest with yourself as there are still too many dogs in rescue centres, a dog is for life. The average cocker lives to about 13 years some longer unfortunately some shorter. We know of some 15 and even 16 years old.
One of the main endearing/frustrating characteristics of a cocker is its love for its owner which is mainly focused on the pack leader 'YOU'. The pack leader will be followed wherever they go no matter if the dog is fast asleep or not, it will appear as if by magic on any excursion around the home i.e. to the toilet, kitchen or bath. This is the same no matter is you have one or ten cockers, the only difference is you have a larger crowd waiting for you.
If you decide to buy a cocker think about the colour, sex, genetical / inherited problems, the pedigree behind the dog, temperament, life expectancy, vet costs / insurance, feeding costs, training and exercise requirements and grooming requirements . Cockers are a fantastic breed to own so don't be put off but do your homework and enjoy!
Litters of cocker spaniel puppies are advertised below.
Please be considerate to the owners and call only if you are genuinely interested. Remember the cost of a good litter can average around £1500-£2000. This price is fluctuating massively at the moment so don't take this as gospel. New license laws have been introduced and the cost of breeding has increased massively and every breeders situation varies so price will also vary and have to take into account individual breeders circumstances. You will know what is right for you and your budget but the quality of the puppy and the breed lines will speak for themselves.
