Hello and welcome to our own little chunk of the web. Cwnhelabach translated from the Welsh means Little Hunting Dogs, and is our Kennel Club Affix.
Having the ability to hunt and
find game is the reason for the existence of the Working Cocker Spaniel. These little dogs with correct field training are in my opinion the best little game finding and retrieving machines you could wish for, but I am heavily biased being owned by four of them.
The main purpose of this site is to offer interested people pups from the future matings of our cocker breeding bitches Kali and Tegwyn. We are planning to breed one final litter from Kali in late 2012 or 2013, we are also planning to breed from her daughter Tegwyn in the Spring of 2012, more on that later, should you be interested in a pup please contact me and I shall put you on our waiting list, until any pups are born there is clearly no obligation either way.
Kali is an honest, very willing to please and therefore easily trained little girl. she has a current clear eye test certificate ( February 2011 ) and a hip score of 8, being raw fed from 8 weeks old she has never had a days illness, her pups will be weaned on a raw food diet, and will be put through the Superdog Programme to give them a flying start through early neurological stimulation.
Since her pups will go to preferably working homes they will be legally docked, dew clawed, and microchipped.
To her credit she has achieved the Bronze and Silver Kennel Club Good Citizens Award Scheme levels, she passed The Preliminary Stage of the old format Kennel Club Working Gundog Certificate at only 11 months old, I believe the youngest dog to do so at that time.
When the birds are out of the pens Kali is taken dogging in on a local shoot most early mornings and evenings, she loves this work and in the shooting season is found in the beating line almost every Saturday, she is also ocasionally shot over on a couple of small walked up local shoots. Indoors I only have to put on my game vest, reach for the whistle and she is there at my feet tail wagging and ready to go. I don't have to call her.
Kali has been entered in several gundog demos and she has ran in the Three Counties Show gundog team scurries, gaining as yet unbeaten record times !
She has also won awards and trophies in various Game Fair Gundog scurries, apart for her outright wins she has been placed more times than I care to remember, but it's only the wins that really excite. She has now slowed down a little but is still showing most of the younger dogs some good competition. Kali loves her time in the field and her training sessions with me, in fact she lives for it.
