I have a litter of 9 sprocker pups. Born 01/07/02 Solid chocolate and chocolate and White,Five have been reserved,four left 2 bitches 2dogs.Parents(springer mum,cocker dad) are both excellent working dogs who work with me throughout the shooting season,loyal and eager to please.Hopefully these pups should follow in their parents footsteps as working dogs, or make ACTIVE funloving loyal members to a ACTIVE family.
Both parents can be viewed along with other family members .

Is this a deliberate mating or accidental?
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Just wondered.  If the parents are working dogs I'm sure you will find good working homes for them.

My sister had a Sprocker for 15 years and she was mental.  So, so intense, and her siblings were the same.  Sasha was much loved but was quite nervous and to be honest should have been sold to a working home not a pet one.  I only have KC registered gundogs just now but I fancy a JR sometime which although they are pedigree they aren't registrable(at the moment anyway, although the Parson Russell version is). 

Trouble is many people think crosses (designer breeds) are good and avoid inherited diseases but it isn't true.  If you mate a cavalier with Syringomyelia to a Cocker with slipping patella you're just as likely to get pups carrying neither of these as either of them or as both.  Depends on the genes.

Good luck with selling them.  Any photos?  I'll bet they are so cute.
