Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
All our puppies are well-socialised from an early stage, getting to know children and adults and other animals and the usual household noises and activity. We pride ourselves on our puppies' great natures and often receive comments on how well they adjusted to their new families and homes.
Health
All our breeding stock has full breed profile DNA testing with Orivet and we use only Premium Black Hawk dog foods for their diet to ensure optimum health and growth. All puppies are microchipped, wormed, vaccinated and vet checked before going to their forever families.
Home environment
Our puppies are raised indoors in my home until at least five weeks of age. They are then introduced to the outside world (in good weather) and all the usual noises and bustle of family living. They start their toilet training and socialisation with other animals, grass and the outside world.
Included with our puppies
Puppies come with a puppy pack that will include the premium dog food they have been raised on, plenty of information on raising your puppy, toys, a blanket and anything else l think may be useful to the new owner for the puppy's transition. Also, all paperwork on their microchipping and vaccination

Additional Tests
Trinity Cocker Spaniels conducts 5 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
This is a rare genetic disease affecting Cocker Spaniels. It can cause wobbliness and incoordination in the hindlimbs, with eventual progression to paralysis and difficulty breathing. It usually only affects older dogs and progression is slow over several years. There is a DNA test available to identify if 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.
Physical Test
These breeders have had x-rays taken on their breeding dogs to assess the quality of their elbow joints. Dogs with very low ‘elbow scores’ are less likely to develop elbow problems in the future and less likely to pass hereditary elbow problems on to their puppies.
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.
