I'm Elena O., the breeder behind Astor Hill Cockers located in Fairport, NY. We are a small show hobby owner and breeder. We are a cageless kennel of sweet, healthy, and beautiful cocker spaniels. Our dogs are our family. Our dogs live in our home with us and are so loved. We are breeding dogs with merry temperaments. It is impossible to not fall in love at first sight with our Cocker Spaniels.
Q. & A. with Elena
Why did you start breeding?
It started with a pet, then a show dog, and then I wanted to continue further and breed. The rest is history.
What makes your program special?
I am a conscientious breeder who cares for the welfare and future of not only my dog but the very breed itself.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
