Title: Sprocker Puppies For Sale
Post by: pierre on November 07, 2011, 11:01:31 am
Hi all .....

.... Our little Sprocker, Breeze had 6 puppies, born on 18th October ......

... 4 girls and 2 boys .... all doing well, 2 of the girls are spoken for already ....

Breeze' mother was a Springer and father was a Cocker, both working dogs, she was mated with a working Cocker, who lives just next door .... whilst we do not work Breeze she has a very good nose and excellent at flushing. She is a family pet with a brilliant temperment, good with children and cats.

Any-one interested, give me a call, £225.00

Is that Sprocker as in designer dogs or deliberate working gundog mating?  More details please - health checks etc? And welcome to the forum  :wave:

Thanks, Pete, I love pups, but not in the market for one just now.  You're not too far away so if I have time I might come and see them - weather permitting of course.  Would you have anywhere nearby safe for runaway Brittanys to be exercised if I do come up?  Haven't quite mastered the stop and instant recall if a rabbit or deer gets up  ::) 

What I really meant was if any of the recognised KC  health checks had been done.  I assume not - you'll no doubt have seen it's one of my soap boxes but i've been told to 'timmer down' a bit.  :'( :'(

Mine is 25% springer and 75% cocker and was sold as a 'sprocker' I think it's a general term for the springer/cocker crosses regardless of the ratios.
