Loving home offered for show type female cocker spaniel in south wales

Hello,
I wondered what people thought about rehoming ex breeding bitches direct from breeders?
Thanks,

It was something I hadn't thought about until I met the little Cocker yesterday, but I think as long as the breeder isn't actually selling the dog, then it is still considered a rescue dog.

Thanks.
Is there anything I should ask the breeder(owner)?
I am concerned about the dog getting on with our cat (as I love him dearly!).
William (cat) is ok with dogs. I wouldn't say he was bomb proof, but we have no problems when my friend brings her lab and jack russel round to see us.
Thanks x

This rescue in Derby seems to get a few cockers through, some female. The majority are handin's (no ex-breeders) but the cockers go very, very quickly so you would probably need to watch the site every day for changes

I almost forgot...these guys have had 2 bitches in this year, but no cockers at the moment

Hi Jasper_boy,
Thanks for this info.
I'll keep an eye on those two rescues too!
The list is getting mega long now, but I know it will be worth it!
Thanks again x

ah bless! he was a cutie though!! 

I have noticed that more boys seem avaiable......I really really want a girl though (Damn it!! lol)

I don't mean to sound thick, but when you say bigger breeders.........................who do you have in mind?

Is it just aim for the most expensive puppies and contact them???

Do people think I am being too specific for a rescue dog?

Thanks all xxx

Many Tears have just done an update on Vale who is a 4 year old ex-breeder and she may be able to go as an only dog

Hi
I adopted Flo from her breeder 4 years ago after she had been a show dog and then had 2 litters of pups. She was rehomed to me because after her last litter she lost a lot of her coat which affected her continuing  show career 

I still have a good relationship with her breeder , I was home checked and vetted thoroughly by her and I think it's nice that I know Flo's background and have back up should I need it, just as I would have if I'd bought a pup. I didn't pay anything for her, but the agreement was that she must be spayed which I paid for.

One of her daughters is a COL dog ( Moog) and one of her sons lives a few streets away . She also has a half brother who is a COL dog (Einstein)

Barnaby was from Many Tears and I know nothing aout him really  except that he's gorgeous and I love him so much 

I wouldn't hesitate to rehome from a 'reputable ' breeder who is concerned where her dog goes and continues to want to keep in touch 

Good luck with your search

Jann, Flo and Barnaby
