Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Our puppies are raised in a family setting, which means they are handled and loved from birth. They grow up around children, other dogs, and even our cats, helping them develop confidence and adaptability. We use early neurological stimulation (ENS) and puppy culture techniques, introducing them to different…

Additional Tests
Poocha & Co | 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.

About the Breeder
A little about us
I’m B, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up around dogs and have been involved in breeding for as long as I can remember. At home, we live with our breeding dogs, who are an integral part of our family, as well as our one special companion and pack leader, our English Bulldog. He plays…
Why we got involved in breeding
I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and a passion for ensuring they have the best start in life. After raising my own dogs and seeing their potential to bring joy and companionship, I wanted to be a part of that process in a more meaningful way. Breeding allows me to focus on responsible practices, health, and…

Breeding since
I’ve been around breeding for as long as I can remember, as my dad bred Bull Terriers my whole life. We brought our breeding dogs into our family in 2022, beginning the process of learning, raising, and preparing them to be ready for breeding at the appropriate age. Over the past three years, we’ve been committed to learning and absorbing as much knowledge as possible, so we can thrive in our breeding practices and provide the best care for our dogs and their future families. While I’ve always had a passion for dogs, this journey has been a deeply rewarding experience, and I’m excited to continue growing and improving.
