We feed high quality balanced raw food and puppy…
Home environment
Our puppies are raised on our certified organic farm, in our home being loved and cared for by our family. We work on the farm so are at home with the pups all day. We have a special grassed area set aside for the puppies when they are old enough to spend time playing in their pen outside.
Included with our puppies
Puppies are MDBA registered and will take home an information pack with their health and vaccination certificate, pet insurance for a month, a bag of the Royal Canine Puppy kibble, a sample of LYKA puppy food, a blanket and toy with their litter scent, a comb and brush.

Additional Tests
Liverwood Cocker Spaniels conducts 4 additional tests available for the Cocker Spaniel.
- Genetic Test
Acral Mutilation Syndrome (AMS) is a genetic disease that causes affected dogs to compulsively lick, overgroom and bite their paws. This can cause recurrent injuries and infections. The condition can be extreme and even result in the dog being euthanised if the signs cannot be controlled.
- Genetic Test
Bernard-Soulier Syndrome (BSS) is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by abnormally large platelets in low numbers, meaning an affected animal cannot form clots properly after tissue damage. It can lead to life-threatening bleeding issues following surgery or injury. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
- Genetic Test
Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC) is a genetic condition mainly affecting Retrievers and Spaniels. It results in the dog collapsing after periods of intense exercise, even if they are normally able to cope with lower levels of exercise. There is a DNA test available which can indicate if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
- Genetic Test
Canine Phosphofructokinase (PFK) Deficiency is a genetic disease resulting in low levels of the PFK enzyme. It can result in extreme muscle fatigue, muscle cramping and severe anaemia. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.

Breeding since
We have bred and shown different breeds in the past, Rottweilers, when we needed property protection and then Jack Russells when we needed dogs to keep the mice population down on the farm. Now we are looking at retiring we just adore our Cocker Spaniels for the company and love they give us.
