Best Cocker Spaniel Breeder

[TheLeadbetterLife]

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a good breeder of Cocker Spaniels please?

Asking for a friend (really!)

Many thanks!

Show or working? If show contact the breed club. Check what health tests the parents should have had before breeding.
And it’s very much buyer beware! Look at how many dogs they have and how many litters each bitch has.

As @Wolfiefan says, show or working?

If working, I can suggest a number of FB pages to joins and clubs to contact to ask about breeders.

Working cockers are lovely, but need a lot of training to rein in their prey drive.

Thanks, they're looking for a show dog / family pet. They're in the London area - is it best to look up breeders in that area or try to find recommendations?

I'd both look up breeders and try to find existing owners and find out where their dogs were from. It's a shame they've missed Crufts - the cocker stand there had both show and working and people to chat to.

@TheLeadbetterLife they need to be prepared to wait and travel too. Contact the breed club.
