Finding Good Dog unreliable for my puppy application process, I'm looking for better alternatives. Although I'll maintain my account for the discounts and educational resources, I need a more effective approach to find the best homes for my puppies. I’d be very grateful for any feedback on this rough draft. It you have any notes, please leave it in the last section of the form! Thanks!

Mercy looks bored. I think she’s ready to get back into sports now that she’s out of heat.

The merry and frolicsome Cocker Spaniel, with big, dreamy eyes and impish personality, is one of the world’s best-loved breeds.

Why do you love the breed?

My beautiful Opalina is now CHIC+ Certified!!! No evidence of Hip Dysplasia, Heart defects, Luxating Patellas, or Eye disorders! (Eyes must be tested yearly.)

Educational information below! For anyone curious about what health testing is and why I’m SOOO EXCITED ABOUT IT, please feel free to reas more below! I will link the OFA’s website and you can search for Opal or any other dog’s registration name or number to see if they are in the database.

These certificates are for the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals or the OFA for short. Each breed has a set number of tests that check for evidence of certain types of disorders or diseases. Most of the disorders they are looking for are genetic in nature and pass through families.

This means she is not only tested for all relative breed testing (hips and eyes), but that I tested for a few other things on top of that. One of her relatives was born with a heart murmur, so I tested her heart. And I always test for Patellar Luxation because up to 30% of the breed has bad knees. If you ever hear someone talking about “slips”, they’re actually talking about a luxating patella, or a knee (stifle) joint that “slips” in and out of place.

CHIC is short for the Canine Health Information Center. Her health scores will be added to the breed statistics to help us understand the overall health of the breed. This is what I mean when I say my dogs are health tested.

These are screenings done by a specialist, not my regular vet, although some office vets can and do offer these tests, most do not. They can do a basic heart, patellas, hips, and even elbows, but only heart and patellas can be certified this way. Hips and elbows must be sent to OFA to be reviewed by their vets. Eyes must be certified by a board certified ophthalmologist.

What is Patellar Luxation?
The patella, or kneecap, is part of the stifle joint (knee). In patellar luxation, the kneecap luxates, or pops out of place, either in a medial or lateral position. Bilateral involvement is most common, but unilateral is not uncommon. Classifying the degree of luxation and bony deformity is useful for diagnosis. Grades are assigned 1-4 in severity. Diagnosis is made upon physical evaluation by a veterinarian and can be submitted to the OFA for dogs that are a minimum of 12 months of age (or

Happy 1st birthday to Opal’s Early Risers litter! So named because they were born between 12am and 3am and I was surviving on coffee and adrenaline after almost 48 hours of little to no sleep because she had a false start the night before, then decided to brew these babies a little bit longer before pouring her coffee colored litter for the world to see!

The girls and I had a truly eventful weekend! We had a couple of bumps but we managed to get through them for another successful trial! Opal earned her Advanced Coursing title and Mercy earned her Coursing Ability title and her DCAT! Both girls were running fast this weekend and set new Personal Best times and then broke them! I guess their new sporty haircuts cut down on their drag! The Sporty Spaniels are coming to town!

Just a couple of brags really quick! Opal has OFFICIALLY earned her CA and DCAT achievement awards in AKC but flip over to UKC and what to my wondering eyes did appear? Two top ranked Cocker Spaniels with my name on them! Whether they will stay there or not is a mystery to me, especially now that both girls have shed their conformation coats for a sportier look, but I am absolutely SO PROUD OF THEM!!!
