Q. & A. with Nancy
Why did you start breeding?
As a young adult, I was determined to own and cocker spaniel. My first cocker was an AKC champion and once I attended a dog show, I was forever changed. Now, 30 years later I have bred over 50 AKC Champions, Best In Show Dogs, National Breed Club winners and overall healthy, happy, merry Cocker Spaniels.What makes your program special?
I don't breed a lot of litters. I plan my breeding's carefully based on my desire to preserve the breed by producing healthy, happy dogs that are true to the cocker spaniel standard. All of my cockers look the way cockers are supposed to look and are merry, family oriented dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
