Amy and Shawn 💓
This photo is from 2012 and still my favourite picture of English Cockers! Taken by Timpany McAllister
Both of these Nonnies dogs spent time staying with us in our home when I was first learning about, and falling in love with the breed. I believe I groomed them both for this photo shoot. They were eventually bred together in 2014 and our Sophie is a granddaughter!
Amy was an absolute sweetheart and takes credit for my love of the breed. She was also the originator of the "pelican face" look and phrase in our home. She produced some lovely puppies and went on to be a service dog with Sniffer Dogs.
Shawn was my original English Cocker grooming competition dog. We travelled to New Jersey for our first big event together. He then went on to earn his Championship and competed in obedience all the way up to Utility with his legendary owner Tracz.
I have taken the time to carefully get to know and care for the grandparents, parents and relatives of my cockers before developing and putting my name on my breeding program. Guided by the mentorship of Vickie from Nonnies, I am proud of Jesselle Cockers focus and knowledge of health, appearance, and personality across the generations.
