Does anyone know of a good breeder of field bred english cocker spaniels. George

There is a memeber on her that has very good dogs. Cockerman77 is his handle.

George,

a couple of years ago I "hunted" Mitchell Farms, the pheasant place. They had English cockers hunting with me-- very neat dogs in a manageable size.Big heart, eager, durable-- it was 10 below when i was there!

George,

I hope that you recieved some help from cockerman77.

I have owned two and my brother presently owns one (in California). We have always selected them in France for two reasons: I'm here and the feed-back we got in the USA is that the US bred dogs don't seem to have the same even temper and fearless nonchalance that the Euro bred dogs have. There's a lot of heart in those little dogs, a great nose and they stay close to the hunter. They don't seem to have especially sharp eyes though.

Thanks for the replies. I'm researching good breedersin the midwest. Any one with info please send it my way. George

There are two great breeder/trainers in the Bismarck area that specialize in cockers for hunting and field trialing:
Glencoe Kennels
Oahe Kennels

I have hunted pheasants with dogs from both kennels - simply outstanding dogs.
