  • Cocker Spaniel

At Merrywelly, our dogs share the quiet rhythm of rural life with us. They are part of our everyday world, enjoying calm routines, gentle guidance, and plenty of companionship. Our treasured Cocker Spaniel, Natasha, fills our home with warmth; her steady, affectionate nature beautifully reflects the qualities we love in the breed.

We take a thoughtful, caring approach to everything we do, with a focus on wellbeing, comfort, and steady, affectionate temperaments. To reflect our values, we use the official UK RSPCA/BVA Puppy Contract, ensuring everything is transparent and centred around the dogs’ welfare. We believe in honesty, warmth, and supporting those who connect with us, with our dogs’ happiness at the heart of everything we do.

With extensive background in animal welfare, boarding kennels, dog rescue and rehoming, along with a lifetime of dog ownership, we are highly experienced, knowledgeable, and we champion standards of good practice.

Training includes: CEnTSA Animal Health & Welfare - Inspection, Licensing and Enforcement (Trading Standards Institute); Level 3 Diploma for RSPCA Inspectors; The Welfare of Kennelled Dogs; Regulation & Enforcement - Companion Animals; Managing Irresponsible Dog Ownership; Dog Law - Cooper & Co Solicitors; and Understanding Behaviour.

From their beginnings in the fields and coverts of Britain to their place by the modern family hearth, the Cocker Spaniel has never lost its essence. Still known as the merry spaniel, they embody the same joy, devotion, and lively spirit that first won hearts centuries ago. Whether bounding across meadows, trotting happily on country walks, or resting with their family at home, the Cocker Spaniel remains a timeless companion — faithful, affectionate, and forever merry.
