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 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.
