BOWDANJA

We are a small kennel and the health, care and temperament of our dogs is our priority and is always our aim when we think about breeding.

We live on the banks of the beautiful river Wansbeck and can often be seen walking our dogs,
who are admired by people for their movement and elegance.
We moved to our present home approximately 12 months ago and in that time we have been concentrating on completing our kennels and covered runs. It was important to us that our dogs had good facilities and were comfortable.
Our house on the other hand is in need of some attention but we will get around to that in time !! Isn't that just the priority of a dog lover .
We only occasionally have puppies for sale, because we only breed when we want a puppy ourselves. We look for special families for our special puppies and strictly vet all potential owners.

We hope to concentrate on our garden in the next 12 months. We have 1/3 of an acre which we hope to make safe and secure, to enable our dogs to have the freedom to run freely. They are boisterous and happy and love nothing better than to be running for balls and frisbees, the difficulty is keeping up with them !!

We wanted to complete our inside facilities to a high standard and we think we have accomplished this, with a lot of hard work and help from family and friends and calling on lots of past favours . We may have a lot to return in the future as a result !!

We have a lovely grooming room which is bright and spacious and allows us to spend quality time with our dogs as they get pampered and spoilt.

We 1st became interested in this wonderful breed in 2002 after watching Crufts. We were given the contact number of Sharon Seed - Norraysha Kennels and the rest is history. She said this breed is collectable and 6 years on we now have 6 dogs with more to follow we are sure. Sharon and her family have become very dear friends and their knowledge about the breed has been invaluable to us.
We bought our first 2 American Cockers from Sharon, Gypsy and Ebony ( Norraysha Bedazzled ). Gypsy helped us build our confidence in the show ring winning classes at open shows.
Ebony, however is our foundation bitch and has accomplished so much, this includes a Challenge Certificate won at the 40th Anniversary of the American Cocker Championship Show in 2007 and was reserve Best in Show just pipped to the post for Best in Show. She also has a Reserve CC and has multiple Best of Breed wins atOpen Shows level to her credit .
She has given birth to some fabulous puppies, some of these, have also accomplished good results in the show ring.
