Breeder Recommendations

We enjoyed the video you produced on the grooming and care of the Cocker Spaniel. The partnership between breeder, owner, groomer and veterinarian is a very viable one and it has been our belief as breeders that the prospective owners of a new puppy, whatever the breed, need a thorough education on the behavior and upkeep that the new member of the family would require.

Your efforts in presenting all that goes into maintaining a pet Cocker Spaniel should prove invaluable to everyone who owns one or is thinking about it. A Cocker Spaniel is one of the high maintenance breeds and your depiction clearly points this out. While your demonstration could enable an owner to want to try his or her hand at home grooming it more importantly acquaints one with what goes into the finished look of a well groomed and well maintained Spaniel.

All that you show that needs doing could scare off the faint of heart and this is not a bad thing for either the dog, the groomer or the owner.

As long time breeders we highly commend your effort to educate your clients. It is definitely a team effort - keeping a Cocker healthy, happy and beautiful. Having friends whose dogs luxuriate in your great care we would never hesitate to have one of our puppies live at Rehoboth Beach and enjoy their spa days at Wizard of Paws.
