dafydd23 7 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 nice dogs them how much would you like for a pup mate if i can find a vet that will dock as i have rang about 10 vets and all said no, they will be £500 female and £450 male , as for crossing working and show strain i want a pup off the litter to work and wanted nore working strain in her , as i was giving the mum a phew years back and trainned her up to work under my birds bushing and retreving , she still got a very good nose and drive with all her show strain in her , hope this helps Quote Link to post

rickyspringer 15 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 are these kc reg, and also agree with paul, fee is high for a mix of 2 different strains if we are totally honest. I wouldn't touch show line stock, personally but glad she is doing a job for you, Quote Link to post

HLF 0 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 If you want a Maesydderwen pup, ring Peter jones or go to http://www.maesydderwencockers.webeden.co.uk/. He is cheaper than the second generation breeders and a lot more helpful. Quote Link to post
paul spaniel 1 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 all i am really saying if i was after a working cocker i wudnt touch a pup from a show bred bitch, there is plenty of pups for sale on the web at the same money as these and they r out of a more proven and tested line..

askiro 1 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) Hi. i agree with the previous comments on using show strain, not only do they have more inherant problems , Eyes and Ears etc, they also lack pace and drive. the other thing to consider is further down the line of breeding, some unscrupulous people may sell there pups falsely as pure bred working strain. This has happened in the past with sprocker type pups. And as for the price of pups, i am also from south wales and the only pups sold for £700 plus are bred by Dai Ormond(Rowston) and Peter Jones(Maessyderwen). so i must agree very excessive price for what they are. My FTAW cocker only cost £55o and he is out of FTCHXFTCH. Edited February 13, 2010 by askiro Quote Link to post
