TO BE HONEST AND FAIR
TO PRODUCE HAPPY AND HEALTHY DOGS
TO PRESERVE THE TRUE INTEGRITY OF THE AMERICAN COCKER SPANIEL
TO SHOW TO WIN ....................................................
( but to never lose sight of having fun
and being true to my dogs )
I do not breed that often and I do not breed for profit. I do this for the shear joy involved in raising and showing American cocker spaniels. I take my time and research pedigrees as well as consult mentors who have had many years of experience in the dog world. Health certificates are a must and I do participate in OFA and CERF registries. My dogs are home raised by me and my two children, Trevor and Emily. My puppies are mentally and socially well balanced and are usually placed in homes that have children. I will not alter a dog nor hide a defect. I do not breed a dog before the age of 2. So far I have been blessed with the breeding decisions that I have made. I do screen prospective buyers and I will take back or remove a dog/puppy that I feel is not being cared for properly. I am ethical, kind and honest. I always want to remain true to the health and well being of this breed.
