I am a small hobby breeder located in
Southeastern Michigan, about 60 miles
Northwest of Detroit.
I became involved with English Cockers because
I had a "pet" dog that was turned into a "show"
dog. That was Ch. Chelsea Rocks A Million,
better known as Rocky. His show career was
short as he finished very quickly, but it changed
my life.
I show and breed solid colored English Cockers.
Solid colors include: red, black, black & tan, and
liver. They also come in parti colors which are
roaned dogs and dogs with white body markings.
The parti dogs come in a variety of colors. There
are so many colors or color combinations
possible in this breed that there is that one special
color for everyone. .
I specialize in home-bred, quality dogs. I breed
for health, temperament, and intelligence. And of
course beauty! All of my dogs, prior to being
bred, have all the necessary health tests done:
Optigen testing for PRA, OFA for hips, and
CERF'd for eyes, among others.
I travel around the United States to compete in a
variety of conformation shows. And also
attend numerous local shows here in MI.
None of my dogs are kept in a kennel. They
are all raised as "house dogs." I have large
fenced yards so my dogs are always kept active
to keep their minds fresh and their bodies in
top shape. One of their favorite hobbies is
looking for the local wildlife to chase.
These are sporting dogs so they are quite active outside, but turn into couch potato dogs in the
house. This is a breed that is very people orientated. They will follow you everywhere - bathrooms
included. They are very biddable which makes them excellent at obedience. You normally find
they are fast learners and are easy to train. But of course there will always be exceptions!
When I have a litter, the puppies are raised in a home environment. So I can expose them to
different situations that include people and dogs. This ensures they are well socialized and happy
dogs.
