DescriptionNow retired Chocolate Button Pride (Dodger) Fully Kennel Club registered and health tested. Sperm tested January 2024.
Dodger is a fully trained and working Cocker Spaniel working his sixth shooting season. He is proven with a number of great litters to his name. He is strong with great drive and a good nose for hunting.
Solid chocolate in colour. Great family dog as well as worker. Great reputation on local shoots.
Recent lineage includes 7 Field Trial Champions including the famous Argyll Warrior and Argyll Chieftain with 35 FTCH in his five generations. His family background is solid black (his mum - Invincible Inca) and solid chocolate (his dad, Jazz Button Pride).
Fully health checked for Acral Mutilation Syndrome, Degenerative Myelopathy, Exercise Induced Collapse, Familial Nephropathy, Glycogen Storage Disease VII (PFKM) and Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA-PRCD), meaning they will not develop these disorders, and do not carry it.
He has also tested as clear for Paradoxical Pseudomyotonia.
Dodger has also passed his BVA /KC /ISDS Eye Examination and eye gonioscopy with no breed related conditions (Adnexal or Ocular).
Red Button Sunshine (Fizz) is also available to stud. He is Dodgers son, is solid red and a stunning looking dog. He has been a real pleasure to train. He is a strong athletic dog, very eager to please, and the very definition of a 'jolly cocker'. He is also proven, health tested, and tested as clear for Paradoxical Pseudomyotonia. He has passed his BVA eye examinations.
Although both work, they are very much family dogs. Great in the house, great with my children, and a joy to be around.
Stud fee of £350 payable on first mating, second mating offered 48 hours after first. Short notice usually available.
Some recent feedback "Hi, hope your well, I know that Dodgers pedigree is full of FTC, but didn’t realise until the other day that 8 of them are from the Hall of Fame of all time FT Champions. Some lineage that boy."
"I just wanted to say thank you again for all your help and advice. I couldn’t have picked a better dog".
"Thank you again for all of your help. It was a bit daunting as our first experience of this, but you were brilliant. Thanks, really appreciate it".
They are both great dogs.
Please note my mobile reception at home isn't great. Whattsapp is usually the fastest way to get hold of me.
