Nutrition and Care in Cocker Spaniels
                            A little more about us...

We take deep, and thoughtful pride in what we produce and how we care for each
and every dog. Only the utmost love and attention is provided to have the happiest,
and healthiest cockers they can be. Breeding to the AKC breed standard, to the best
of our ability.

A puppy is a big responsibility and we ask that you research, ask questions, and
realize, a puppy will become a dog that is a lifelong commitment.
We are always available for new buyers, and experienced buyers to ask questions
about our puppies, or any concerns that may arise.

When buying one of our puppies, you are required to sign a simple care contract
stating that you will care for the puppy to the best of your ability.
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to hold a puppy that is available. All
deposits less the purchase price of the puppy. At this time, a signed and dated
"Deposit Contract" will be submitted between the buyer and breeder. That will reserve
your puppy until new home placement, at this time, the remaining balance will need to
be paid in full, at time of pick-up.

Puppies are very limited here. We don't breed all the time and when we do, it must be
to the best of our knowledge in mating two healthy, standard correct dogs. We want
our puppies to give you happiness throughout it's entire life. We also expect you do
the same for them.

Because we have an un-denying love for each and every puppy we raise, we do not
sell our puppies as breeders. We want them to go to caring, and loving families instead
that love them as a pet.
For this, we require a spay/neuter agreement.

 Food:

Cockers need good, wholesome, human grade food, so does any dog. They shouldn't
be fed by-products, or by-product meals. If you look on most grocery store brands,
the first ingredient is a by-product. (chicken by-product, by-product meal etc.) The
reason it says "by-product" is because they use all parts of the animal. They are not
sure what part it is so, they call it a by-product. Cockers need good nutrition and you
need to be sure what he is eating. If you want a healthy dog for life, you need to read
the labels and ingredients, and make sure there are NO by-products, and the first 10
ingredients should be readable and you should know exactly what it is. (they should be
something you would eat). Do not buy grocery store brands for your dog. You should
be feeding them premium food. ALL grocery store brands contain corn. Corn is a
filler, and is known to cause blockage, which could potentially lead to unexplained
death. The very first ingredient should be a meat, such as chicken, beef, lamb etc. If
not a meat, it should be a vegetable. If the food bag says "Lamb and Rice" then the
ingredients contain chicken, that is a bad food. You are not paying for chicken,
your're paying for lamb and rice!
If you want food that is good for dogs, or cats, don't go to the grocery store, go the
extra mile and go to a food store that specializes in holistic dog food brands. Your dog
will thank you!

Go to our "
Links" page, and scroll down under "Pet Foods and Other Companies".
There you will find, dog foods that are holistic, and good for cockers. None of them
contain corn, or by-products.
