Rockey's Kennels has been training and breeding Quality Springer Spaniels for over 40 years. We have introduced Cocker Spaniels 8 years ago.
(17)

Gary and Josh Riddle strive to breed and train spaniels at the highest level possible. Thank you for your interest Gary loves and appreciates dogs, especially English Springer Spaniels beginning over 40 years ago and his fascination of an excellent hunting dog has never diminished. He hunts and competes with his trial dogs, always has and always will. He began trialing English Springer Spaniels ne

arly 30 years ago and during this time he has had, and seen, many exceptional dogs that he has hunted, trained and competed with. He has worked with various breeds of dogs in their training starting out with the basics of retrieving, bench work, force fetching, and bird work. FC, AFC, CFC Rockeys Quest was Garys first trial dog. Quest was exceptional, not only was he very successful in trials, Quest taught him a lot of his training skills, knowledge and ability which carries over to his working with dogs today. Perhaps one of the greatest experiences he has had is the opportunity to Judge the US National Open Championship. What an honor to see and experience these wonderful dogs close up and personal. The training philosophy Gary maintains is simple, lets see what a dog does best naturally, develop those strengths with positive reinforcement and repetition, maintain a high level of expectation and allow the dog to develop and compete at what they possess as individual strengths. Natural ability is critical in a quality companion and in a competitive dog, but the program to develop and enhance these skills only emphasizes these strengths. A dog that does his job efficiently and for the Handler is a masterpiece to experience and Gary enjoys any dog that accomplishes this. Gary feels strongly that he has a strength to be able to see these abilities in dogs, develop them and then showcase them in the field, home and competition.

A little after trial fun. It was a busy weekend with lots of dogs, but we were able to get done before dark. Shark worked well on this one, and Monroe (9) made a great shot. #springerspanielworld #gundoghunting #huntingdogsofinsta #huntingdogsofinstagram #fieldtrialspaniel #flushingdogs #englishspringerspaniel #englishspringerspanielpuppies #englishspringerspanielofinstagram #huntingdogtraining #springerspaniel #gundogsofinstagram #huntingdogs #englishspringerspaniels #gundogs #englishspringer #englishcockerspaniel #englishcocker #englishcockerspanielsofinstagram #EnglishCockerSpaniel #gundogmagazine #englishspringerspanielsofinstagram

Very nice young dog (Tucker) in a crossing down wind. Had to pull double duty as a Videographer/Gunner…He’s got a bright future. Mac x Shark pup.
