WORKING COCKER SPANIEL DOG PUP – EXCEPTIONAL BREEDING

8-week-old dog pup available from an exceptionally well-bred litter, purpose-bred with the intention of retaining pups to compete in field trials.

Sire: FTCH Peaky Blinder
Dam: FTAW Sourmash Rascal

Both parents are award-winning dogs with exceptional natural hunting ability. This is a carefully considered mating of quality working and trialling bloodlines, bred with working ability firmly at the forefront.

A bold, busy and intelligent young dog with plenty of character. He is confident, very well socialised and full of himself. A proper little working cocker with plenty of potential for someone looking to develop a future working or trialling dog.

I have retained his litter brother for myself, hence the availability of this dog.

DNA HEALTH TESTING

Both parents are fully DNA health tested. Sourmash Rascal is DNA clear for:

  • PRA-PRCD
  • AMS-GDNF
  • FN
  • AON-CS
  • PP-SLC7A10

Certificates available. The sire’s health-test results can be viewed on the Kennel Club website.

PUPPY DETAILS

  • 8 weeks old and ready to leave now.
  • Fully Kennel Club registered, with all paperwork supplied.
  • Docking certificate supplied.
  • Microchip details provided.
  • First vaccinations completed.

Both parents are exceptional hunting animals, and this litter represents a deliberate mating of high-quality working dogs. Pedigree available in the photographs.

Ideally suited to a working or field trial home, but equally could suit an active family home able to provide the exercise, training and stimulation a dog of this breeding requires.

Please message for further details.

🐶 Buyer’s Checklist for Gun Dogs

Whether you’re buying, selling, or studding a dog, it’s essential to take the right steps to protect yourself—and the animals involved.

  • Always meet the dog in person at the breeder’s home or kennel—never agree to buy without seeing them first.
  • Ask to see the puppies with their Dam (mother), and the Sire (father) if available.
  • Verify all paperwork:
    • Kennel Club (KC) registration number
    • Date of birth
    • Health screening results
  • Prepare questions to ask the breeder. Some helpful ones include:
    • Did you breed the dog(s) yourself?
    • Can I see where they were bred and raised?
    • How old is the Dam, and how many litters has she had?
    • Was the birth natural or via C-section?
    • Are there any known health issues?
    • Can I see documentation for both Dam and Sire?
    • Will the puppy be vaccinated and wormed before purchase?

  • If something feels off, walk away. Don’t ignore red flags.
  • Ask for advice from a trusted third party if you’re unsure.
  • Take your time. This is a big decision—don’t rush it.

  • Puppies should appear happy, healthy, clean, and curious.
  • You should be allowed to see and handle all puppies in the litter, not just the one you're considering.
  • Never buy a puppy younger than 8 weeks old.
  • Avoid any puppies that show signs of illness—e.g. runny eyes, weakness, or diarrhoea.

  • Is the whelping pen clean?
  • Do the dogs have access to fresh water, clean food, and adequate space?
  • The living conditions can say a lot about the breeder’s standards.

  • Ensure you receive the KC registration form and all relevant documents at the time of payment.
  • Write up a simple contract to protect both buyer and seller—especially important in case circumstances change.
  • Never agree to buy a puppy in a car park or public place. Always go to the breeder's premises.
