Clodagh, I've sent you a PM. I'm really sorry, I did get your PM and promptly forgot about it! :redface3:
I don't know of anyone locally who has pups that I would recommend, but have suggested Milsey Gundogs for those who may like to look at their website. The outfit is owned by Jim Milligan, he's often shipped over to Denmark as an instructor, and he isn't just a highly competent dog-man, he's a good man, and straight. He's in Lincolnshire.
Just a couple of corrections; those who are interested will notice that MiLLsey has two Ls, not one, and Jim goes over to Sweden, not Denmark!
Otherwise, everything stands! I had a bitch here to whelp for a.n.other, she was bred by Jim, sold by him as a pup, trained by another pro and sold on as a bit of an also-ran. She came here as I say to whelp, she was allowed to express herself, obedience work was ignored and in my view she had the potential to reach open stake and Ch standard. Perhaps the best Cocker bitch that I've seen in the last 10 years.
I cannot recommend the Millsey kennels highly enough.
