Working Cocker Bloodlines

[Blueboybilly 164]

Hi guys

 

I'm considering a Working Cocker pup in the future but wanted to know what bloodlines were considered to be the best.

 

Can be dog or bitch and would like to use the dog for beating on a local shoot

 

Any advice is welcomed!

 

Thanks

Hi mate, I've just got myself a cocker pup as just taken over part time keeping on a shoot. The sire to my pup is one of the chudleys. They have a very good reputation in the field trial and gun dog world. I know of 6 other dogs which have been sired by or bread by the chudleys and all a great dogs. They are based in Northamptonshire.

 

Good luck with your search. Take your time finding the right pup for you and see if you can see parents working.

 

My pup 3 months old.

Chudleys is a dog food brand. I've never heard of Chudley gundog or the like, do they have a website?

 

 

Modern cockers these days are very closely bred. For what your going to pay for a trialing dog (one that has alot of red in the pedigree) you will pay for a reqular working dog but heres the thing, the majority of them all come from the same trialing ancestry.

 

If you get a pup that has FTCH Dander Druid, FTCH Darnell Dealer, FTCH Maesydderwen Scimitar, FTCH Mallowdale Zander, you'll do alright. The majority of cockers have those dogs once or twice in there pedigree.
