We raise the American Cocker, weighing an average of 25 lbs, which is smaller than the English Cocker. We have puppies available for sale throughout the year, so you can select your new companion from our next litter! All adult breeders are double registered (CKC-Continential Kennel Club and AKC-American Kennel Club) with the exception of Buffy who is CKC only. All litters will be registered CKC. Some litters will be registered AKC also but this is determined at the time of their birth.

Our three male dogs are DNA tested/certified and this is registered with AKC. This can be used for parent verification/linage.

All of our adult dogs are vaccinated twice a year with a 6 way shot. This keeps their immune system high which makes for healthier puppies! Puppies are vaccinated with a 5 way shot at 6 - 8 weeks.

On April 9, 2003, AKC inspectors appeared without notice to inspect our facilities. This was our first non-notice inspection by AKC in our 16 years of breeding Cocker Spaniels. The inspectors found our kennels and dogs to be neat, clean and in excellent health - within or exceeding AKC requirements. We were again inspected by AKC in Aug 07. The inspector also found our breeding records to be in excellent order matching all their information at AKC headquarters. We passed with flying colors and had no write ups or recommended changes.

We have puppies on a continuing basis. Prices average $250 for either sex if being picked up and wanting a pet/companion. If you are a breeder, add $100 to the regular purchase price. If needing to ship, that will cost approximately an additional $400 if shipped within the continental US and this will cover all expenses to include air fair, shipping kennel, health certificate, and any other related expenses (no additional hidden costs). Considerable time is devoted to helping our pups become outgoing and "people friendly" dogs that will make wonderful companions. We can provide references as to the quality, disposition and condition of our animals (read our Guest Book or email us for references). Pups can usually be picked up between the ages of 6-8 weeks depending on their individual maturity level. That decision is usually made when they are about 5 weeks old. We can ship puppies (8 weeks and older) anywhere in the world where live animal shipments are accepted and passenger planes go. We use several different airlines from the Birmingham, AL, Memphis, TN, Jackson or Columbus, MS airports. We have shipped or delivered dogs to Alaska, FL, NY, TN, MS, AL, GA, CA, AR, VA, IL, NJ, MD and OH. View our Health Warranty for our puppies.

Call or email us to find out when the next litter is expected. We have a digital camera and can email pictures of our puppies so you can better choose your next companion.

In order to hold a pup, a 50% deposit of the total price is required. Balances are due when picked up or two weeks before a shipping date. A portion of the deposit is non refundable if buyer cancels sale. The portion not refunded covers the added expenses of re-advertisement, price adjustment, feed, continued worming/shots, etc. Refunds are not sent until the pup has been resold and the portion to be refunded can be fully determined. Prices are subject to change without prior notice.
