hi there,
I have a sprocker spaniel (springer x cocker) i got her about a year ago from a lady in highclere who breeds springers for gundogs and her daughter does the same with cockers and along came trix, i've never trained a gundog before and i was honestly dreading it but she's been amazing and i could never have wished for a better dog. she's picked up on every bit of her training easy as pie,
I was just wondering how other sprocker owners cope and as you don't see many YET what others opinions are
also next year i would like to breed from her but i would like to keep he sprocker so if any one has a male working sprocker i would really appreaciate it if you could contact me

To my understanding, a sprocker is not a breed by itself ... it could just as easily be called a mongrel although a crossbreed is a better definition as you know it's been crossed with 2 different breeds rather than a heinz57 type.
As well as sprockers, you also get sprollies (springer x collie) or could call them collingers perhaps ...
You do also see loads of them about ... they are not a rare breed. If you ring a rescue and ask how often they have sprockers in, if they use that term themselves for that particular cross they'll tell you, or they may just say "eh?"
Also, why would you want to breed from her? And why would you advertise for a stud dog on the internet like this? C'mon !!
