*Waiting list now closed*

I have opened up a waiting list for potential owners after a successful mating on 04/08/2023. Puppies will be due on 06/10/23 or thereafter and will be ready to go to their new homes beginning of December.

Potential colours include: golden, chocolate and tan, black and tan, chocolate and black.

Both mother and father have been extensively health tested; it is very hard to find puppies born from parents with all health tests done. This includes DNA health checks, eye scoring and hip/elbow dysplasia scores. These results can also be found on the KC website under ‘Health Test Results Finder’, equally certificates can also be shown.

All puppies will be hereditary clear from any genetic health issues commonly found in the breed.
Both parents are Kennel Club registered and all pups will be registered. Puppies will have a COI (inbreeding coefficient) of 12% which is on the low side for working cockers!

Mother - Shaded Cluster of Honey ‘Pippa’ (golden colour) is 12kg.
Genetically clear from:
•FN
•AMS
•PRA/PRCD
•AON
•EIC
•DM
•PFK

BVA eye scores are unaffected and gonioscopy PLA of 1
Hips score of 5/7
Elbow score of 0/0

Father - Teaken Black Nightshade ‘Gean’ (black colour) is 13kg. There is a page called ‘Teaken Cockers’ if you’d like to find out more information.
Genetically clear from:
•FN
•AMS
•PRA/PRCD
•AON

BVA eye scores are unaffected and gonioscopy PLA of 0 - these tests have been updated on 12/07/2022 and can be viewed on the KC website.
Hip score of 2/2
Elbow and patella score of 0/0

Both mother and father are family pets, and both do agility. Pippa is incredibly quick and will start competing next spring. Gean also does gundog work and takes part in the shooting season successfully.

Both dogs have the most biddable, easy to train temperaments and have the all importance off switch, especially in the house!

Pippa can also be viewed with her mother, Smudge (chocolate coloured), who I’ve included in the photos. Both Pippa and Smudge are the most loveable and cuddliest dogs who just want to please. They are very loyal and neither of them have bad bones in their bodies - they have never bitten and they’re amazing with children and livestock (they’re always out at the stables with me). Pip loves being outside, especially paddle boarding, whereas Smudge loves to stay home and relax all day!

Our pups will be raised in a family home with good socialisation. They will be weaned onto Bella and Duke raw food, but this can be gradually changed when they go to their new homes.

These pups will have a lot of natural ability, both in agility and in the field. If you are interested, please message me the type of home you can provide and your lifestyle as it’s my utmost priority to find the best homes and I will add you to the waiting list. I would absolutely love to keep in contact with all puppies and to know how they are getting on. ☺️

If you have any questions, please message me.
