Hello Dave
Usually the best person to advise you on a suitable stud dog would be the breeder of your bitch - have you contacted your breeder? If your breeder is unable to help, then the best thing would be to contact the Secretary of your nearest Cocker Breed Club who may be able to advise you. If you let me know where you live, I can give you a few telephone numbers of people to contact. I have tried to email you but unfortunately the address you have given is not correct.
Stud fees vary in Cockers - the average fee for a well-bred dog from show lines seems to be £150-£200, with Show Champions costing more. You should also consider that it is recommended that all Cockers are eye-tested prior to breeding from (to check for hereditary eye disease)
