Meet the Parents
Our parents are health tested through OFA and PennHIP, because healthier puppies start with responsible breeding and lots of love.
Daddy Stryder
Stryder is an AKC registered blue merle American Cocker Spaniel from Iowa, and the primary male of the pack. He is sweet and loveable, loves to cuddle and give affection. He is so intelligent it’s scary at times. While he’s a bit on the smaller side for Males his heart is “huge”. He loves kids, adults and all that fall in between. He produces many colour variations in is offspring, including the odd chocolate merle. He is a very interested and hands on dad to the babies, and helps in their rearing as they age. Stryder is very strong willed and yes at times very stubborn.
My favourite things are:
Growling no matter what my mood is, it’s my love language; treats; all the toys are mine.
Mama Pistachio
Pistachio is an unregistered Red and White female. She is sweet and shy girl who LOVES baby puppies. She enjoys long walks and playing in the yard with any and all of her toys, but mostly she loves treats and would eat them all day long while watching daytime TV from the top of the sofa if she could. Otherwise she would spend her days in the neighbours yard playing with their kids, whom she adores (maybe that’s where her love of puppies comes from). Like C-C her tail is undocked.
My favourite things are:
Treats, treats, treats; new born puppies no matter who’s the mama.
Mama C-C
C-C is the eldest female of the pack. She may be the sweetest female ever. She enjoys playing with humans and canines alike. She has yet to meet a human she doesn’t want to kiss. She is very intelligent and affectionate. C-C is on the larger side of female Cockers, and is Solid Black Cocker (she does however carry the chocolate or liver gene as she has produced a chocolate merle baby). She is a very affectionate and caring mother to her babies. Her beauty, as with many black dogs, does not always come through in pictures, and this has been expressed by many who see her picture before they meet her. C-C is unregistered and her tail is undocked. Of the whole pack C-C is the most loyal to me.
My favourite things are:
Cuddling on the coach with Kevin or the rest of the pack; barking at anyone who thinks the sidewalk in front of the house is free to use.
Mama Roxy
Roxi is a beautiful Black and Tan American Cocker Spaniel with a wonderful personality and a few funny quirks. She arrived at our home the day after Hershel was born, and the two have grown up together in a close, loving bond. Roxi has learned a lot about being a mamma by watching C-C and Pistachio with their babies, and she seems to genuinely enjoy interacting with the little ones. She is very food motivated and certainly lets us know if dinner is late by sending her bowl flying! Roxi was also a bit of a lady when it came to furniture, waiting for permission before hopping up. She is planned for breeding in Summer 2027, after her second birthday. Roxi has passed her preliminary PennHIP testing and will be retested when she is of age. She has also undergone OFA testing.
My favourite things are:
Toys and treats, treats, TREATS! Did I mention I really, REALLY love treats? 😋
Retired
Mama Puff & Daddy Moro
Puff and Moro may be retired, but they’re still very much part of the fun around here! Puff is our beautiful AKC-registered girl from Iowa, known for her playful nature, endless kisses, and love of spending time with her people. Moro, the sweet son of Stryder and C-C, decided long ago that moving out was highly overrated! He loves playing with his aunts and mommy, teasing his daddy, and cuddling with Kevin. These two have brought so much personality, laughter, and love to our home, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re happy they get to enjoy the best part of retirement — plenty of playtime, treats, cuddles, and all the comforts of home, together!
The Rest of the Family
Our Fixed Freeloaders!
Not every dog in our house is part of the breeding program, but that certainly doesn't mean they're any less part of the family! Hershel, Blitzen, and Olive have all earned their permanent spots on the couch, in our hearts, and wherever the treats happen to be. Hershel, the sweet boy from C-C and Stryder's Chocolate Bar litter, started out shy and timid but has grown into a nearly 40-pound bundle of sweetness. Blitzen, from Pistachio and Moro's Reindeer litter, is such a lovable boy that visitors often threaten to dog-nap him when they come to see the puppies! And then there's Olive, our tiny blue merle miracle who was so small at eight weeks she fit in Kevin's vest pocket. She may be the smallest of the bunch, but nobody told her that, and she has a huge personality to match her huge heart. All three are fixed and officially retired from any breeding ambitions — but they're still very much on the payroll when it comes to cuddles, entertainment, and quality control in the treat department!

The Caregiver
Hi my name is Kevin
Who is the real owner me or the dogs? I mean I pay the bills, I do the clean-up and I pay for the food and fill the dishes, but I am not the boss.
I thought I was buying a house for me and the dogs, in fact I bought it for the dogs and they let me on the couch if I’m good.My dogs have free roam of the house and are only kenneled for their safety as needed.
Our litters are all hand raised, and when needed hand fed, once they are mobile they are kenneled when humans are not able to be present (they are camera monitored and help is but a call away) otherwise they are also able to roam around, exploring and socializing with dogs and humans (kids, teens and adults).
I am a Canadian Army Veteran as well as a former Correctional Officer who suffered PTSD for years, my dogs gave me the support I needed until I sought proper treatment. Even then the dogs helped push me forward, all dogs are service animals it’s just that some are plain clothes. This has given me the purpose of breeding and raising awesome Cocker Spaniels to help bring joy, and emotional support for others to benefit from.
I am willing to work with prospective buyers in areas of purchase cost and selecting the best puppy for them.
