Please can anyone help. We am looking for a Blue Roan or Black & White Cocker Spaniel puppy. I am having a few problems getting one. We want the pup as a friend for our Springer (we sadly lost our other springer last year) and to become part of our family, we guarantee a loving caring family home. We do not want to breed or show the pup. We are looking at spending upto £300. I hope someone can help. Please contact Sarah at email: sas@backbarrow.freeserve.co.uk

Thanks

Hi Sarah

I'm afraid under £300 is very low for a Cocker puppy from a reputable breeder - the average price for a pet puppy from a good breeder is going to be around £400, maybe more depending on location. Please don't be tempted to buy from a "cheap" litter that you may see advertised in the free ads papers - these are most likely to come from puppy farms/dealers who don't care about health/temperament etc. I would advise you save up a little more, then contact your nearest Cocker Spaniel Club for advice on reputable breeders. All the contact details for Cocker breed clubs can be found here
