5 Year Old Working Cocker Spaniel Bitch KC Registered

Description

Rose, a 5-year-old liver-coloured Working Cocker Spaniel bitch, KC registered, Docked.

Rose is an honest and reliable worker, suitable for beating or walked-up shooting. She has experience picking up this season (sits and waits to be sent), has been shot over hundreds of times, and currently works once per week during the season on varied game including pheasant, partridge, pigeon, wildfowl, rabbits, and hares. She is competent in all cover types: rushes, bramble, woodland, moorland, and white grass. Training continues with 4 sessions per week over bramble and white grass.

She is fully house trained and kennel trained, comfortable in either environment. Not spayed and never bred from. Pedigree available in photos.

Health notes: Grade 5 heart murmur present since puppyhood (no impact on performance; works all day in the field without issue). Queen Anne front legs (no effect on working ability).

Behaviour notes: Gets on well with other dogs generally but currently shows jealousy toward my younger cocker (a stronger worker), so best suited to a home where she is not the pack leader. Normally quiet in the kennel but has occasional barking episodes (I live in an urban area). Takes a little time to switch off but does settle.

Genuine reluctant sale due to pack dynamics.

Seeking: An active working home — ideally a rural kennel environment with regular work (not as pack leader), or a single-dog home for beating and being shot over.

Serious enquiries only, please.
