Description

FTCHxFTCH bred cocker spaniel dog. He will be 3y old in May 2026. Very well bred dog with good hunting ability. Quarters well in front of handler and should be fairly easy for anyone to handle. 

Love to retrieve, all retrieving training and distance handling done.

The dog has been shot over most weeks this season roughshooting. He has no faults, no noise. The dog isn't going to cut it for trialing unfortunately because doesn't have level of focus required. Potential maybe to win a novice trial but I don't think he would go any further hence, sale.

He will make a fantastic dog for shooting dog, picking up or beating dog. He excels in moorland, reeds and bracken. Not as good in bramble but will do it when there is game supply.

The dog is fully health tested Heridtary Clear for AMS, PRA and FN.

Tested clear for AON and PP

BVA eye tested unaffected and Gonio grade 0

See photos for pedigree. No offers price is £3500. Video available on contact

🐶 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.
