m6oad Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Wonder if anyone can help? I'm looking for a working Cocker Spaniel stud dog, I'm located in south Lincolnshire but can travel a sensible distance. I see so many stud dogs advertised but many are "Show Dogs" & as far as I'm concerned look almost nothing like my idea of a Cocker! I have a 2 1/2 year old dark tan bitch, bred from her last year for the 1st time & she has 8 fantastic pups, 3 blacks, 3 tans, 1 black roan & 1 tan roan. It was an easy mating & she made a great mother, we had no issues with the dog we used but thought we would try something different this year. Plus the fact we will be keeping a bitch this time around to train as well as possibly breeding from in the future. Any contacts or information greatfully received, thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m6oad Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi everyone, just a thank you to all the people who have been in touch. I have found a great stud dog at Millsey Gun Dogs near Lincoln, his name is Robbie, he's owned by Jim Milligan. We got a great reception when we visited, he loved my bitch & the dogs got on well at the 1st visit. She is about to come into season so Robbie will be doing his bit very soon. Jim was very enthusiastic about Cockers in general & was full of usefull information, he has a long & succesfull gun dog career. He will also be helping me with the training in due course. We spent a long time talking over hot coffees in front of his lovely wood burner, thanks Jim. Jim's website is easily found on Google. I will be keeping any contacts I have or will receive as I intend to breed from a bitch I will be keeping & training. Thanks again to everyone, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
