Starlight - Star (Miniature Cocker Spaniel)

RE: Starlight - Star (Miniature Cocker Spaniel) Post By Sheila (Guest Post) (11/23/2008) I got a little cocker girl from a breeder and there were no claims about size. She grew to all of 19 pounds, 10 pounds less than my other one. But she is an athlete and wonderful girl. Here she comes out of the agility tunnel! Nothing mini in this girl's attitude!

I find it appalling anyone would want to stunt a breed. Cockers either English or American should stay as they are. It has taken many, many generations of dogs bred by experienced well qualified experts to keep the breed true as we all know and love them. This is why I believe a litter bred for design only, will always have 3 out of 4 undesirable pups to be either PTS or sent to rescues if they are lucky! And Mom will be bred within the same year, before her last litter is even walking. Just to make it up to you. Keep who you have and work with them. They are not returnable! Cockers are a very smart, a willing to please breed. It might take patience, and a loving touch. And they are best friends for life!

That is why there are no books on them. Some breeders advertise miniature cockers in order to sell the for higher prices. If you look on the papers it does not say miniature. Some cockers grow up smaller than others. That's it. I have seen 14 pound, and 30 pound cockers. They are all cockers.

His mother and father definitely aren't miniature but he seems to have stopped growing! He is now 2.5 years old and I is the most perfect beautiful example of a cocker, enough so that people stop me in the street and ask me if I show him. I don't for a couple of reasons, one, that that isn't why I bought him, he was the last one at 15 weeks old and no-one wanted him, two, he was hand reared and called "Stuart", now renamed billy or "little man" to anyone who knows him and three, he only had one testicle descended and therefore had to have both removed. He is the most loving and loyal little boy anyone could wish for.

Never any stomach problems and he can eat more then my other two larger dogs and never throws up. He is tough guy who unfortunately is about 16. Never been neutered. My father had wanted to breed him. He has no papers.. and I wanted to know, if age matters if there was a willing party? I want a little him.

I have both standard and small Cocker Spaniels. They are registered as Cocker Spaniels. There is not a reconized toy or mini Cocker. There are several catagories of Spaniels: Britney--Springer--Cavilier--Susex--English--American. All of these come out of one breed yearrrrs ago. They were divided by charactics and an there uses. There are alot of breeders that will say that it is wrong to breed if the dogs doesn't fall in the right size and perfect charactics.......If this was true of humans, I would be too small and thus a reject.... I believe, to miss out on the Cocker Spaniel's great personality, is the crime. Measures should be taken with any breeder to be sure the dog is healthy before breeding... I am breeding smaller size Cockers, because, I love Cockers and have back problems. There may be a time that the smaller Cocker Spaniel is excepted and can be shown. But until then they still can be registered as Cocker Spaniel. tlbradenatearth-commdotcom Report Spam or Abuse RE: Starlight - Star (Miniature Cocker Spaniel) Post By jd guthrie (Guest Post) (09/22/2007) I am looking for a blond miniature cocker spaniel email drjaguthrie (at) mac.com Report Spam or Abuse RE: Starlight - Star (Miniature Cocker Spaniel) Post By michele (Guest Post) (06/25/2007) hi!

Report Spam or Abuse Miniature Cocker Spaniel Post By sarah beth (Guest Post) (05/07/2007) There is no such thing as a miniature Cocker Spaniel. People are breeding for size and NOT conformation and temperment which AKC is famous for. AKC does not recognize a "miniature" because they are not bred properly. So when you buy these designer dogs you are opening up a whole new can of worms in terms of genetic defects and horrible behavioral problems. I hope the best for all of you and your new babies. Hopefully none of your new family members will fall into this catagory.

Most I have found is books on just the breed cocker spaniel but nothing about the miniature breed cocker spaniel. Are they consider cavalier king charles spaniel.
