There is nothing better than a C&J Cocker Spaniel Puppy
C&J Cocker's Cocker Spaniel Puppies
Welcome to our Cocker Spaniel puppies web site. We hope you will
find our puppies as wonderful as we feel they are. We welcome visitors to
our kennels to visit and select their Cocker Spaniel puppy in person;
however, the internet has now made it possible for people hundreds of miles
away to look into the eyes of our puppies and fall in love, which only a
true Cocker Spaniel lover understands.
Some of our Cocker Spaniel puppies have recently been featured in
the video "Puppy
Tales". “Puppy Tales” features thirteen classic breeds in thirteen
different skits that play off each breed's unique personality. Our Cocker
Spaniel puppies are featured in the segment "Sleepover".
Our Cocker Spaniels have excelled in the show ring, in field
trials, as seeing-eye dogs and certified service dogs, but most of all, they
make great companions. All of these honors are fine, and we must admit we
are blessed to have so many of our puppies that have done so well, but not
one of these honors is the reason we have devoted ourselves to our Cocker
Spaniels.
Shipping Cocker Spaniel Puppies
If you choose to purchase one of our American Cocker Spaniel puppies, it will be delivered either in
person or via air-cargo within the continental United States no earlier than
8 weeks of age. We take special care when shipping our puppies via air-cargo
to ensure their health and well-being. Our Cocker Spaniel puppies ship on
Wednesdays and Saturdays. Orders must be placed by 2:00 PM the day before
delivery.
Commitment to the Cocker Spaniel Breed
We have made a commitment to produce generations of Cocker Spaniels
that are healthy, intelligent and have a wonderful loving temperament. We
have been striving to improve the quality and bloodlines of our line of
American Cocker Spaniels since 1991 and believe we have some of the finest
American Cocker Spaniels available in North America today. We breed to
maintain both
AKC and
ASC standards and our bloodlines produce
all of the officially recognized color varieties. Not only do the parents of
our puppies live with us, but in most cases, three prior generations do as
well.
 Being a breeder of Cocker Spaniels was not something that we just
decided to do one day. Our devotion and love to the breed has come through
many years of ownership and experiences with the breed. After our children
left home several years ago, we became very interested in learning more
about the breed and why there were so many health and temperament issues
being reported. Much to our dismay, we learned that through poor breeding
practices, not only with cockers, but in America's entire purebred dog
populations, genetic health disorders were running at epidemic levels. Call
it what you wish: empty nest syndrome, unfulfilled nurturing or a new
challenge in life's many directions, at that point in time, we made a
commitment to bring forward a generation of Cocker Spaniels that would be
healthy, intelligent and have the wonderful loving temperament
similar
to the Cocker Spaniels we knew from of our own childhood.
We felt that our mission was, and is, to make sure
the wonderful nature of what, in our opinion, is one of the finest dogs in
the world to own would not be lost.Our
journey has taken us to dog shows, breeders, auctions, individual homes,
kennels, puppy mills and back yard breeders. We have visited with the blue
bloods of the show arena, listened to countless speakers and seminars,
studied pedigrees, driven for hours down back roads and have visited some of
the most horrid kennels (if you can call them that) we have ever seen. My
wife still talks about the day I returned home from such a trip with eight
Cocker Spaniel puppies. I just could not bear to leave these wonderful
little guys behind in such a place, so I bought the entire litter! Not one
of the puppies met our standards, but I didn't care at the time. We raised
the puppies; finding homes for five and keeping three as pets for ourselves.
Yeah, I know I'm an old softie...
Over the
years we have worked very hard to develop a wonderful line of Cocker
Spaniels. Our puppies are healthy, intelligent and have wonderful
temperaments. If you want to compete with them in what ever activity you
wish, our puppies will do their very best to please you; just like our
Cocker Spaniels did when we were children...
Commitment to our Cocker Spaniel Owners
We
proudly offer consultation to our clients for the life of our Cocker Spaniel
puppies concerning health, diet, training, grooming or other issues you may
wish to discuss with us.
We do
hope you enjoy the pictures posted on this website and if we have puppies
available, please feel free to call and visit with us about them.
Just
remember, there is only one place in the world where you can get a C&J
Cocker Spaniel...and there is nothing better, we promise.
