    From the very first conversation, it was clear that David is not just a breeder — he’s someone who genuinely loves these dogs and takes tremendous pride in where they go. When he offered to personally drive all the way from South Carolina to Rhode Island to deliver our new Cocker Spaniel, we were honestly blown away. That kind of dedication tells you everything you need to know about the man. What made the experience even more special was how communicative he was throughout the entire trip. He kept us updated every step of the way, and never once made us feel like our questions were too much. He was warm, patient, and genuinely happy to talk — about the puppy, about the breed, about anything we wanted to know. You never felt like you were bothering him. When David arrived and we finally met our new pup, it was obvious the dog had been loved and well cared for. Healthy, happy, and socialized — exactly what you hope for. If you’re looking for a Cocker Spaniel from someone who truly cares about the breed and the families they go to, look no further. David at Hartwell Cocker Spaniel Kennel is the real deal. We are so grateful for the whole experience and absolutely in love with our new family member. Thank you, David! 🐾

    Right when we thought all hope was lost in finding our forever fur baby our hero David came to deliver us our precious Snoopy. We love him so much already and will forever. David was very helpful with everything we needed; whether it came to meeting us half way or even delivering Snoopy if we needed. He was very knowledgeable on everything about his puppies and you can tell he loves what he does as a breeder. We highly recommend David if you are looking for a sweet cocker spaniel puppy, especially with how hard they are to find.

    David was amazing!! He was SO communicative and on top of things - even after I brought my Petey home. He sent regular photos and videos of Petey while I was waiting for him to come home. Petey is SUCH a well-adjusted dog. He's calm and curious and smart -honestly the perfect puppy. The puppies are raised like family with David. These puppies already are used to being in a real home and being around other adult dogs, and being held and cuddled. When I picked up my puppy, I was able to meet all the dams and sires, and every one of them had the best temperament. Thank you so much David! Highly recommend this breeder for a well-adjusted, cuddly and adorable pup!

    David was wonderful to work with! He allowed us to pick the puppy up a day early and was accommodating to our busy schedule with 4 young kids. The puppy is literally everything we have wanted and more! We just lost our beloved cockapoo Ollie, and our girls have been so sad about it and now that this little puppy stepped into our lives we all have so much more joy to share around the home. Very thankful for David and his sweet puppy that we now can say is a part of our family!

    David was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive to all of my questions and even sent videos of the puppy while we were waiting for him. He is very knowledgeable about the breed and takes very good care of his dogs. Our puppy is beautiful and not afraid of anything. He has a very good temperament. I highly recommend David to anyone looking to purchase a cocker spaniel. He breeds them very responsibly and is very very good.
