AT STUD - Glanhowy Ni**od (Thornton) DOB -16/09/2015. See pinned post on Thornton's page for latest breeding information
KC Reg Working Cocker Spaniel with clear results for AMS, AON, FN, prcdPRA, clear BVA eye certificate, Grade 1 PLA. We collected Thornton from Tredegar, Wales in November 2015. Whilst he is primarily a much loved family pet we were keen to select another WCS with a good FTCh pedigree. Thornton is a very steady dog and socialises well with other dogs and people, adapting well to new situations and
experiences. He is happy chasing a ball on the beach, rooting around to retrieve his lure and is always up for cuddles on the sofa. Thornton has beaten on the last 4 pheasant/duck seasons, working across multiple shoots in the Bristol and Gloucestershire area. He is very well regarded by guns and beaters alike. Whilst we have no intention of “formally” training him as a gun dog, we have been keen to allow him the opportunity to work. He shows natural enthusiasm, energy and stamina and appreciates he is there to work and not play with the other dogs. He is confident diving into thick cover and is good at both recall and quartering. It is impossible to hide his excitement when the shooting kit comes out as a “boys day out” always includes sausages! That said, he’s developed an ‘off switch’ at home with age. Until last year Thornton and I attended Agility training twice a week at Celestine, which we loved and Thornton performed really well. He has also achieved his Gold KC Obedience Certificate. Thornton’s sire Bishwell Barcud is a respected FTCh. If you are interested in using him as a stud, please take a look at his photos and videos and give us a shout. We would be delighted for you to come and join us on a country walk to see him in person. Thornton has been DNA health tested clear for AMS, FN, AON, prcd-PRA and holds a current clear BVA eye certificate and Grade 1 PLA. Priority for matings with be given to bi***es that are similarly DNA health tested clear. Please see the pinned post on Thornton’s page for up to date breeding information.

Awh Mally is doing really well in her residential Together anything is pawsible training! A little catch up with Mancub and Fern for Mancub to practice what Mally has been learning 💗💗💙
We had a lovely time with Miss Mally yesterday.
Mancub was so excited to see her.
She is doing amazingly well with her training and we are all super proud of her 🥰
Fern was so excited to be at the Temperament Dogs- More than Residential Dog Training training field, she was zooming around being a crazy cocker and having the time of her life 😂
Fern has worked so hard these past few weeks, it was so lovely to see her just being a loopy cocker and letting off some steam whilst playing with her lil sis 🐾🐾
