Fully Trained Cocker bitch

County / Town: Roxburghshire

Description

Ginga is a fully trained KC registered dark red and white Cocker Spaniel who just turned 4 in March.

Ginga has been with me since she was an 8 week old puppy, bred in Scotland she has a mixture of field trialing and competent working dogs in her pedigree, her father being Rollafields Redbud a Cocker championship winner.

A huge amount of love and time has gone in to her upbringing and training, she has tested and trialed with me and is an incredible working dog with power and determination. I can’t imagine a day when Ginga will decide to retire herself (like dogs often do) she lives for her work, particularly retrieving which she excels at.

Ginga is used on our commercial shoot for walked up days, of which we do many, and beating on our let days, she works around 35 days a year with us but would be more than capable/willing to do all day every day. Gingas hunting style is flat, wide and methodical which is perfect for our ground which can be heavy and hold birds tight, she is super sharp on the whistle, taking stops immediately and without hesitation. Once she gets into her rhythm you can spit your whistle out and just enjoy your day.

Retrieving is fun with Ginga, she can be put on a line and she won’t give up, she’s an intelligent dog, she views directions as help and responds keenly.

Ginga is silent when working and doesn’t squeak when being cast, I have many videos of her working. As we hold retreiver trials on our shoot she’s the go-to dog for working the line as she doesn’t tire and never runs in.

Ginga does still work with dummies out of season but shows little interest in them during. She loves carrying things around with her but always delivers softly to hand.

Last year Ginga had her first and only litter to date, she was taken to FTCH Tarncrags Razzamataz. She produced 5 well grown puppies who she naturally whelped, they were beautifully marked and the owners are extremely happy with them.

Ginga is fully health tested, including BVA eye exams both GONIO (0) and PRA unaffected, DNA and hips and elbows, she would be ready to be mated again from her next season if so desired. She was a super mother and I would be happy for her to go on to produce another litter.

The home that I would ideally like for Ginga would be a working/pet home as she lived in the house with us until relatively recently (she is kennelled now due to lack of space)

She is fastidiously clean in her crate and kennel and travels well in a car or the back of a bike. She is good with other dogs but not overly submissive and is excellent with children. She works well for both my husband and I so I have no preference of the sex of the person she goes to.

Her price is non-negotiable and reflects her hours of training/experience and also the extensive health testing alongside the fact she is a proven dam in her prime.

Ginga will leave with her KC documents, microchip transfer details, vaccine card, X-rays and proof of eye exams and docking certificate. I can also arrange her veterinary records to be transferred from our vets (Cheviot,Kelso) Ginga has never been to the vets for anything other than vaccines and routine health screening.
