RebJane Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I have been trying to contact breeders and locate online someone that might have a litter or might be breeding in the near future a litter with a Gold Cocker Spaniel Pup. Hoping someone might be able to help point me in the right direction. I have a loving family that is ready to give the little pup all the love and care it deserves :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebJane Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 I would be a silly duffer if I hadn't already ;) There are no Gold pups in NSW for sale. Seems they are as rare as hens teeth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) We aren't to know you have checked out the breeders' pages - there was nothing mentioned in your first post ;) Sometimes it's a waiting game . I presume then that you have contacted these folks? Work out the temperament you want , the health , and the body shape/size ..THEN go for colour ;) look around and find dogs you like the behaviour/look of - then see if their breeders have pups coming up, maybe? Also, many folks buy pups from interstate ...if the breeder is one who produces terrific , sound and well-bred gold puppies , why not consider flying one over ?

LisaCC Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm not familiar with the breed, but with any dog really, if you are 100% set on a specific colour you might be after a bit of a wait. Did you check out the breeders pages as well rather than just the current puppy listings? Might want to check them out and make contact with some breeders you like the sounds of. They may have plans for litters in the not to distant future. As Perse said too, you might want to look interstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Well bred pups from awesome breeders are often in short supply - when I want a pup I first look for a couple of breeders that I like...check out their lines, find out how they raise their pups and what they expect of me. Then I get in touch, have some good chats, visit their dogs and put myself on a waiting list for the next litter. I've bought pups interstate and locally and also breed myself. Sometimes it's a quick turnaround, sometimes it takes a while but find a breeder that matches your expectations. They are also going to know which good breeders have pups on the ground. It's a very small world :) I'd like to breed my ESS again but finding the right homes isn't easy so I'm hesitant to do so until I have a few people interested.

Kavik Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Like the others, I do a lot of research into breeders, lines, temperament, structure, and then once I have found one I really like I make contact and put myself on the waiting list. TSD, I would be tempted to get one of your pups at some stage! They look like fun :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a different experience for you after your herding breeds but I reckon you'd love them. At one they are all starting to really shine with the foundation training that has been invested in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 It has been a while since I have had a gundog as a kid - would be fun to get one as an adult :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebJane Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Yes, great advice everyone. I agree, when we were looking at buying two pugs 15 years ago, we looked around for the right breeder and got two amazing boys. I don't mind the waiting, but just cant find a breeder to even start the process of looking, chatting, etc that breeds them. I thought Gold Cocker Spaniels were fairly common lol. I have emailed many local breeders to see if they know of anyone, hopefully Ill have some luck :) Edited April 29, 2016 by RebJane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always me :D Sucker for punishment are you :laugh: They are truly wonderful but not for the faint of heart. One of the boys may be coming to stay with us for several weeks (oh my goodness I'm so excited I love this dog!) as his owner has realised he'll run rings around the house sitter Good luck in your search RebJane - go to some shows (assuming you are not looking for a working Cocker) if you can but certainly put some feelers out to interstate breeders. Some breeds are more common in different states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Have you looked in the breeders section not just the puppies for sale ?. You may find a good breeder there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 When you want a colour only then you need to contact breeders & then work from there .We get people in our breed that want colour only & that is fine but they may have to wait longer & then obviously hope there is a pup for them that is right for that family .If the colour is right but the pup is the wrong match we won't sell it . Phone breeders up & then go on a waiting list as often pups are sold before there born Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Gold is the most popular colour, and the pups sell quickly, or are pre-sold, so you may have a wait if you want a Golden cocker. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
