How We Began

Our first cocker spaniel as a buff female name Mickey that John got for me and our young son.  She was pet quality and fit into our busy young family.  After a move to a new job and town we acquired a red/white female Brandy that John wanted to breed and have a litter.  With Brandy we had our first successful litter which produced our first homebred champion---Ch Swank's O'Shaughnessy Girl in 1976.  We had gone to Mrs. Ruth Krauchi in St Louis to breed to her young promising stud Ch Silver Maple O'Shaughnessy.  With one champion John was hooked by the show bug.  The next 30 years we have bred over 70 champions and have enjoyed raising and showing our Cockers.  We have been blessed with numerous dog-friends during this period.   We dedicate this website to our dogs and dog-friends.
