ENGLISH COCKER SPANIEL SIRES

Lots of breeders say their dogs can hunt. Ours do it every season. Here's what goes into every DRDCo dog.

​

Proven in the Field
Our program started in the quail woods, and our dogs still work there every season, behind real hunters, on real birds. We breed for the drive and nose a working dog needs.

​

UK Import Bloodlines
Our English Cockers descend from distinguished UK field-bred bloodlines that we’ve carefully developed and preserved for more than 15 years. We remain dedicated to maintaining the integrity of these bloodlines, thoughtfully selecting each pairing to produce dogs that reflect the quality, natural ability, and characteristics the breed is known for.

Genetic Health Testing
Every one of our English Cocker Spaniels is genetically health tested for heritable diseases before it's bred. We screen hips and elbows through OFA and PennHIP, test eyes, and run DNA tests for inherited conditions like progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). Only healthy, genetically sound dogs are used in our breeding program. Learn More

Raised in Our Home
Puppies are whelped inside and monitored closely, and their feet don't hit the ground until they've had their 8-week vaccinations. Our kennel is inspected at random by the American Kennel Club. 
 

Matched, Not Just Sold
We don't hand out puppies first come, first served. Selection happens at 4–5 weeks, when personality and drive start to show, so we can help match every pup to the right hunting home or family.
