I'm Vickie U., the breeder behind Nonnies Cockers located in Sarasota, FL. Breeding show dogs and beloved family pets since 1980. We care deeply about the health and wellbeing of this breed. It has always been our goal to produce beautiful, healthy puppies with wonderful temperaments. With this in mind, we consider a variety of factors when making breeding decisions, and we only breed dogs that are excellent representations of the breed standard. We provide each of our dogs and puppies with a great start, raised with love and great care in our home. We ensure each pup that we don’t keep goes to a responsible, loving home. Our pups are vet checked, vaccinated, microchipped and registered.
