Bear (Cocker Spaniel) is the name!

Bear is a much loved family pet. He is sociable, friendly, adorable, energetic but often lazy, and always either up to something, with his nose stuck where it shouldn't be, or else lying flat out snoozing! A stunning looking chap, he is loved by everyone he meets, and he just loves meeting people! He is the friendliest dog you will ever meet, and will be a total gentleman with your bitch!

He has so far gathered five litters of absolutely beautiful pups with super temperaments (some photos included), which sell for a premium.

He is a classic looking purebred cocker spaniel with an exceptional temperament, always with a smile on his face! I will mind your bitch here while the deed is done, you are welcome to stay for the few hours or go see some of the stunning scenery or places in our local area, and come back. You are very welcome to come and meet Bear in advance, or I can send you a video, or any amount of photos! I advise chatting to your vet to ensure your bitch is at the peak of her heat, and guarantee Bear will do the job within the hour if so!
