Hi
Im not sure if this is in the right place.
I have a wonderful english/american cocker cross Doogle. I have posted about him before. Before Christmas I found an awful tumour on the cheek of his mouth. It was removed sadly,
two weeks ago I found a lump on his neck on the same side of the other tumour. He had the lymph node removed. When he went to have his stitches out he still had a big lump ( bigger than the one removed ) sadly it is the tumour back, its very aggresive so how long I will have my special boy I dont know.
My question is.. I love this breed so much I would like to have another cocker. I breed cavalier spaniels so I know they have to have certain certificates for heart and eye etc. Can anyone tell me what I am to look out for when chosing a good breeder. I want to make sure I dont buy a puppy with lots of problems as I hope one day to have puppies from a good bitch/line. I dont want to go into this lightly and I want to keep the breed as healthy as possible. I know, as in cavaliers, there are many breeders that breed for money and dont have the health of the breed in their interest. I DO ! I DO NOT WANT TO CREATE PROBLEMS IN THE BREED. I would be grateful to anyone who can point me in the right direction for a good genuine breeder and what certificates the parents should hold.
