Anyone got the inside track on this story....dog tested? True? Major scandal for Kennel club if true....

Cockers have come a long way in the last ten years, so I reckon there is something going on??

If we're to believe the comments of those protesting, a Sprocker has an unfair advantage in a Cocker trial. So it begs the question why continue to breed Cockers? Clearly the trialing folk believe they're substandard!

 

Seems f***ing ridiculous to me.

cocker's cant do a full days work..

proven.

[Dan Newcombe 58]

Lot of speculation.

 

Yes, springer blood came into cockers and if it hadn't then we would not have cockers now that were as good as what we have.

 

I have cockers because i like them, they will do a day easy and 2 days just fine but much more without a rest and they will struggle (or pace themselves which is infuriating). However at the same time there are plenty of all sorts of dogs that cant do a full day because if fitness levels.

 

In any case, she didnt win so cant have had that much of an advantage!!

They are only sprockers when they win. If they don't win they are cockers.

I have just had a right old sickener regarding this kind of thing , I have just had the wisdom dna test done on my cocker bitch, I own and bred her dam, I own the sire , I owned her grandmother,, it turns out my bitches great grandmother on her dams side Is an English springer spaniel ,, nothing I can do to about it ,, according to the pedigree the person who bred this "springer" used a ftc cocker onto there bitch , they have a kc prefix so I might try and track them down that way , a pal of mine has had a similar experience lately also with a cocker but says the kennel club wern,t any help .

They should stick a DNA test on prince harry when the vet calls while he is available 2 birds with the one stone.

I heard the queens dog turned out right enough (it wasn’t a mongrel) and as dan newcome says about fitness levels,basically if you’re dog ain’t fit it won’t last a day never mind six days beating wf

I had a look at those dna tests before. They can be very hit and miss
