A study of beauty
Cocker Spaniels  

Affectionate, companionable, and hard working, Cocker Spaniels are always ready to go along for a good time, or stay close when times are not so good.

My breeding goal is to produce dogs with good health, stable temperaments and breed type making them beautiful, intelligent, and trainable in the spaniel tradition. My dogs are AKC registered and are screened for hip dysplaysia and listed in the OFA registry and ASC Health Registry. Each year they are examined for clincal signs of inheritable eye disease by an AVCO certified veterinarian with tests results available online on the ASC website.

Kindred Cocker Spaniels demonstrate their capacity through their achievements in the conformation ring, field, in tracking and other performance events to provide a measure of my progress towards my breeding goals.

Spend a little time looking through the pages here and read about Kindred Cocker Spaniels and their accomplishments. Experience a breed with a heart that beats with the strength of the finest hunting dog, the devotion of the best companion, and the beauty of generations of beautiful dogs.

The Cocker Spaniel-- a study of beauty in type and spirit.
