Heart says yes wallet will say no Whistle

I like the idea of the dog choosing us, he had a good chat with me tonight and as his ad says they have some champions in their lines,

How do you check out KC pedigree lines? With all the strange names you could put owt down if it wasn't checked Neutral Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

You can buy for around £30 a fancy pedigree chart from the KC that will confirm what is on the pedigee you will be given,by the way the two pups look grand I take it they are working stock.

Yes Working stock with what's been told a good line and no illnesses

Mother bred by Ian Openshaw out of FT CH Chyknell Gold Star and FT CH Danderw Druid.
Father bred out of FT CH Timsgarry Simpson and from FT CH Black Mamba.
Too many field trial champions in both dogs to mention.

Looking forward to meeting them Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

get the breeder to supply you with a vet check certificate and a good breeder should give you insurance for the first few weeks against illness etc, it comes in a puppy pack from companies like pet plan (the best in our opinion)
Also have the puppy microchipped. Doesn't provide absolute proof of ownership but goes a long way to establish you at one time did own the puppy if there is an ownership dispute later on for any reason.

Over 40 years experience in training-breeding-showing-judging -racing (Afghans for fun)- rescue- tv and advertise work- and finally 21 years of running a large boarding kennels ( licensed for 116 dogs) goes into my advice.

Yep, the breeder we got our dog from had our dog microchipped in our name, docked, insured for a month, KC registration stuff, food, a list of do's and do nots and a stinky piece of blanket from her bed with the smell of her mum, sisters and brother on it to help her settle. We got her from this breeder because all our friends had. We all (including the breeder) walk together at least twice a week - can be up to 10 related spaniels at any one time. Other people think we are some kind of chocolate spaniel appreciation society when they see our pack coming along. We also all go away with the dogs for a week over the new year period where we always rent a big house that accepts dogs somewhere. It's great fun - 10-18 people and 8-10 dogs in one house! When we go on holiday without the dogs, either on our own or with our friends, all the dogs go back to Jackie, the breeder, where they get taken out over a farm every day and get to sleep in her house/on her bed. The breeders partner runs shoots every year and we sometimes take them along as flushers or fetchers for a bit of fun. Get paid too in cash and pheasants!
Here's a pic from this years holiday with our dog (nearest to me), her sister, her mother, her aunt, her uncle and her granddad!

Some good lines there, have worked with similar dogs with that pedigree. £800 is pretty rich and you are paying for the FTCH lines which is great, but do you really need it if you don't intend to compete with it?

£300-600 is a good range for working Cockers, low end is generally good workers with no awards ( not necessarily a bad thing, competition dogs vs beating dogs is a whole topic) and at the high end it's more FTCh's. Over £600 is paying for name.

Breeder should provide you with full 5 gen pedigree up front, if not walk away.
