D’s experience

  • About D

    I started in cocker spaniels 11 1/2 years ago. I bought my first Cocker for the purpose of agility and companionship. I discovered while training for this performance sport that there were many more. I started in obedience conformation, rally, weight pulling, tracking, and agility.

  • What makes D’s program special

    All puppies are born and raised in the house. They are well socialized before going to a new home. If the weather is permitting they experience the outdoors. They are exposed to as many sites and sounds as possible. They have plenty of toys to play with and enjoy. This also helps them develop their natural instinct to retrieve. All our puppies are family.
