Our handsome chocolate stud Georgie and beautiful blonde Dixie welcomed the new year with a litter of puppies on January 2, 2015. All the puppies were pre-sold to families on our waiting list but unfortunately one of those families had an unexpected change of circumstances and two blonde males have suddenly become available.  This is a wonderful opportunity for one or two families looking to bring a bundle of joy into their home.

Here is a lovely picture from today of them playing outside in the sun:

Excited to meet their human families

Both boys passed their vet inspection at Dr. Burton’s office with flying colours.  They have had their first round of shots, proactive deworming and revolution treatments so they are ready to go to good homes. Please contact Ellen at 604.615.8668 if you are interested in adding an American cocker spaniel to your family.  If this is not the right time for your family to bring home a puppy, consider adding your name to our waiting list to have the first pick of future litters.

Audrey (our white & blonde female) gave birth today via c-section to four healthy cocker spaniel puppies.  This was her first litter in the past two years so anyone who has been waiting for an Audrey puppy, this is your chance.  The litter is fathered by our champion stud Georgie (brown male).  There are three girls and one boy.  We are in the process of calling out to our waiting list to notify them of the birth and expect that all the puppies will be claimed this week.

Audrey with Her 2012 Puppies

This will be Audrey’s last litter of puppies as we chose to spay her.  She is young but had some unexpected complications during her c-section. Our priority is to the health of our dogs which are treasured family pets. Audrey will continue to live on the farm throughout her ‘retirement’ years, bossing around the other dogs.  We will be keeping one of Audrey’s female puppies to continue her line.  Stay tuned for more updates!

Due to Wedgwood Cockers high popularity, our litters regularly sell out to families on our waiting list.  If you are in the market for an American cocker spaniel puppy, we highly recommend you contact us today to be added to the waiting list for future litters.  We expect both Dixie and Ebony to be having litters in the Spring.  Call Ellen at 604.615.8668 for more information.

Wedgwood Cocker Spaniel Puppy

On June 30th, our gorgeous black cocker spaniel Ebony and stunning brown stud Georgie had a litter of seven adorable little puppies.

Their litter consisted: one blonde girl, one blonde boy, three black boys and two black girls.  Three of the seven puppies were claimed immediately by wait list families.  As of this afternoon, we have one blonde boy, two black boys and one black girl still available.

If you are interested in being considered for one of these puppies, please call Ellen at 604.615.8668 for pricing.  Wedgwood Cockers come with a vet check and lifetime return policy.

Wedgwood Cockers maintains a waiting list if you have a specific color/gender request.  Families on our waiting list are called as soon as puppies are born to give them an opportunity to claim the pup of their choice.

First off, thank you to all the families from our waiting list that are patiently waiting for Dixie and Georgie’s puppies that were born April 14th. They will be ready to go home after June 5th. We’d love to feature all of you on our blog so please send pictures and updates.  Below are some pictures taken today.

We are happy to announce that Ebony (black girl) and Georgie (brown stud) got ‘friendly’ in late April and a litter is expected in early July. There are already families lining up for these puppies so please call us if you’d like to be added to the waiting list for this litter.

As always, we are happy to take gender/color requests. In the past Ebony and Georgie have produced three colour combinations of cocker spaniel puppies: all blonde, black with tan and all black. If you are interested in learning more about our kennel and/or coming to visit our farm, please call Ellen at 604-615-8668.

We are happy to announce Dixie delivered her puppies in the wee hours of the morning on April the 14th.  All 7 puppies are fat and healthy. Dixie is a very good mother – she is relaxed and laid back but attentive. She doesn’t get upset if the other dogs want to admire her puppies, unlike Daisy who won’t let the

The below picture were taken immediately following the birth. Please excuse the quality of the photos as they were snapped with an iPhone. In the photo of Dixie and her very blonde daughter, the puppy looks huge but it is just the camera angle.

Sophie, the daughter of Dixie and Georgie, came to stay at our farm while her human Liz (who has become my dear friend) is in Hawaii soaking up the rays! That’s just fine with Sophie – dogs live in the moment. Sophie has been having fun every day. She loves to play with all the dogs, especially her mom!

Sophie Enjoying Her Vacation

Dogs learn a lot when they are allowed to run free. This week young Sophie learned chasing cows and horses is NOT allowed! She learned it is ok to steal their food as long as you are quiet about it and don’t scare them. Sophie also learned that the river is very cold when there is ice on it! She jumped in – I knew she would. My husband fished her right out! Smart girl only did it once.  After a rub with hot towels and a blow dry she was fine.  She has learned to be respectful of the pack, and learned her place. She knows I am the leader, and all dogs answer my call, even bossy Audrey!

Sophie after her first hair cut

The last few days I have started some basic training with Sophie. She is a very quick learner, a real joy to work with! Liz is coming home tomorrow. It is a very good thing Liz and I  are friends and I get to see them a lot. Makes it easier for me to give Sophie back!

Daisy delivered her two little girls via C-section on Jan 15th. It was a very long night for me. Her labour started at 5:30pm on the 14th. I never left her side for more than a few minutes until her C-section on the afternoon of the 15th!  Daisy was never in distress, her labour just didn’t progress. In fact she was able to sleep through most of it, in her heated whelping box. I tried to sleep beside her on the cold hardwood floor of the kennel. Not a lot of room for me as her box takes up most of the 3’X5’space.

As sore and tired as I was I wouldn’t miss these times for the world! Daisy was a C-section pup that I hand raised as she was too weak to nurse. I milked her mother Dixie II, and fed her with a 1cc syringe. I would take her to work with me so I could feed her on my breaks. Tiny puppies need to eat every 2 hours! We have a very tight bond. I was the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes. I hope I’m with her, when closes them for the last time.

Both girls are very fat and healthy! An abundance of milk for 2 little girls! Daisy is looking great, she is running around like nothing happened, her weight is perfect, and her coat is shiny. She is an awesome mother. She wouldn’t even leave them to go for a walk. When the pups were 10 days old, I insisted she join the walk. She needed to get a change of scenery. After that she was fine with it. Back to her usual self, going for walks with the dogs every day.

On Friday I took Daisy to Our Vet for a check-up. Her puppies are due to be born around Jan 15th. I have been worried about her, I had not planned on her having anymore puppies. The Vet said everything looks good. We decided to do X-Rays to see how many pups she is carrying. The X-Rays showed only two puppies.  I am very happy with this! Mother Nature is wonderful! This means Daisy should have a very easy labour and delivery! Daisy is a very good mother. If all goes well she should have two fat, spoiled puppies!
