Meet the breeder
I'm John H., the breeder behind A&J Kennel located in Howe, IN. At A&J Kennel, we are a family-run program dedicated to raising high-quality Cocker Spaniels with love, care, and purpose. Our puppies are raised in our home and socialized from birth with children and other dogs to develop confident, well-rounded temperaments. We are committed to giving every puppy the best start in life. They are introduced to litter box training early and come up to date on vaccinations, deworming, and are thoroughly vet checked before joining their new families.Our passion for Cocker Spaniels goes far beyond breeding it’s part of who we are. We are dedicated to raising healthy, beautiful puppies while supporting the families who welcome them. We offer ongoing breeder support and are always here as a lifelong resource.At A&J Kennel, we don’t just raise puppies we raise lifelong companions.
