Hi

I would advise you to contact the Secretary of the Devon & Cornwall Cocker Spaniel Club who should be able to advise you of a suitable stud dog. Ring Sally Ellison on 01884 881449.
You don't say if this is your bitch's first litter but if it is, I have to say 5 is a little old to be considering mating her for the first time - sometimes pregnancies are more difficult for older Cocker bitches with an increased likelihood of a ceasarean being necessary (though of course there are always exceptions, specially if your bitch is v fit & not carrying any unnecessary weight). I expect you have done all the necessary health checks but just in case you haven't, don't forget you should have your bitch eye-tested for PRA & any stud dog you use should be similarly tested & have a current clear certificate.
