The fantastic irony with field bred English Cocker Spaniels is they are both a great bird dog and a great pet. This is the balance the vast majority of our clients seek: full-time family pet that is great with kids and will go with them anywhere; then when taken afield can switch into high gear and be an exceptionally strong bird dog across a wide variety of game.
we hunt with our Dogs
The English Cockers that make our breeding program have guided with Gene for years at a Orvis Endorsed upland bird hunting Lodge and a 100,000 acre upscale hunting lodge. They must hunt heavy, challenging cover for four species of upland game birds and be able to work independently, with other cockers and also pointing dogs. The rest of the year is where cockers equally shine as our family pets. This again is the great irony with field bred cockers: they areas good in the field as they are with the family in the home and on a outdoor adventures.
of the Highest Quality
The foundation for our cocker breeding program is based on three factors. First is sourcing dogs directly from the U.K. where the breed has long thrived. The direct-from-U.K. parentage in many of our dogs incorporates some of the finest field bred cockers anywhere in the world. Second is sourcing dogs domestically from field champion dogs and dogs selectively bred from U.K. parentage. Third and lastly, we breed the dogs we personally enjoy in the field and at home.
