"Whoever said DIAMONDS are a girl's best friend... must never have had a DOG!"
Amethyst (Amy)
AKC Cocker Spaniel Amethyst is the proud result of breeding our own special girl Hanna with Champion sire Captain, and she's a littermate sister of Hazel and Honey. We were so excited to welcome Amy to our family and were thrilled with the privilege of raising her up in the way she should go. She is a delight, playing with our kids, growing up side-by-side with our kitten, and taking her role of annoying the older dogs very seriously. We are so proud of her beauty and charm as she's matured, and look forward to her fulfilling her potential as she passes her lovely temperament and good looks along to the next generation!

Buttercup
Our princess Buttercup is a gorgeous, athletic girl with affection and energy to spare! She loves to play fetch and go for nature walks with Barbara's kids. She is always photo-bombing the other dogs, and loves to play with all the puppies. (She is officially the "Fun Aunt" hahaha!) Buttercup's favorite treat is cheese, and she often convinces our toddler to share with her at snack time. She loves most toys, but her favorite is a squeaky ball. Her fun-loving nature will definitely be inherited by her puppies!

Charlie
Gorgeous and glamorous, Miss Charlie is a brown, white, and tan supermodel. Her freckles and darker ears make for a striking appearance. With longer legs than some Cocker Spaniels, she is sporty and athletic. She walks nicely on her leash, and loves to explore the neighborhood with the kids. When she greets the neighbors, she is well-mannered but eager. And she always says hello to the Amazon driver with great enthusiasm! Charlie's absolute favorite treat is scrambled eggs (made specially with no seasonings for our mama doggies!) Charlie joined our family this summer, and has settled in quite well with the family. She loves to snuggle on the couch, but has a hard time deciding which kid to sit on!

Cocoa
AKC Cocker Spaniel Cocoa is a beautiful girl who enjoyed a pampered existence with a small show-breeder before joining Lydia's family. Cocoa advanced all the way to Prominent Champion status with her lovely conformation and show ring poise! Now happily ensconced in our family, Cocoa never misses a lap opportunity - any time we sit down, she's quick to join us, whether it's on the floor, on the couch, or on the bed. Cocoa is happy going out to play with her doggy sisters, but she never steps far from our sides, and she likes to stay pretty close to the house. She does have a thing for stray socks, so we've been trying to help the kids remember to put their socks in the hamper!

Daisy
Daisy is the first Cocker Spaniel that the Olstad's raised from a puppy and we have been enjoying this sweet girl as our beloved pet as we eagerly anticipate meeting her puppies! She is an AKC purebred Cocker Spaniel with champion lines and a gorgeous curly red roan coat. Brought home in the middle of a fierce winter storm, during the pandemic, she is a bit shy of strangers and new things at first, but warms up quickly and will try to be as close to you as possible once she loves you! Daisy is often at my feet in the kitchen and we can not open a bag of shredded cheese without first giving her a small sprinkle. She is also my favorite morning lap buddy as I sip coffee and prepare for the day. My 4 daughters love to play fetch with her outside and she absolutely loves walks! The more squirrels and birds she can scare away makes her feel like she is quite the hunter! She and her "sister" Luna love to play tug with the same rope toy, and she has been so gentle with other litters we have had! This sweet girl is ready to graduate from auntie to momma!

Honey
AKC Cocker Spaniel Honey is the proud result of breeding our wonderful girl Hanna with Champion sire Captain, and is littermate sister to Amy and Hazel. She lives with Janna's family in Nebraska and has grown through the puppy days as a companion to elderly sister Sophie the Dachshund. For Honey, ball is life, and she is always up for a game of fetch!

Indigo
AKC Cocker Spaniel Indigo (Indie) is full of fun and enthusiasm. She loves to bounce around the house as though she's the energizer bunny, and keeps us laughing with her antics! Indie lives with Lydia's family and gets along great with the kids and other dogs. She is very treat motivated and when we move a hand towards the treat jar she's on high alert for how to earn a little nibble!

Luna
Dutch Haven's Luna Bear is a beautiful black, white, and tan lady with champion Cocker Spaniels on both sides of the family. She and her sister Obi, who is part of the Groen family, are both from one of our now-retired mommas, Milly. Luna has been part of the Olstad family since puppyhood and she and "sister" Daisy are best of friends, unless one of them gets groomed without the other, but they quickly make up and are best buddies again. Luna is quite acrobatic, and will catch any toy thrown to her, sometimes with a twist midair! She can never pass a lap without a quick snuggle. Although a bit wary of strangers, she loves her own people fiercely. We are so looking forward to meeting her puppies!

Maisy Mae
Maisy Mae is quite the snuggle bug and has played an important role in Stephanie's life as she made the transition to an "empty nester" when her youngest went off to college. This buff AKC Cocker Spaniel will, without hesitation, interrupt any work in progress in order to get the attention she deserves. Her happy places are in the car with her head out the window, and in any willing lap. When she's outside, she's all about the smells. Her tracking instincts kick in and she'll criss-cross the yard to follow her target. Maisy Mae loves long walks through the neighborhood and on the trails, or a quick play date at the dog park. One of her best buddies is Bella, a teddy-bear mix who frequently meets up for walks together. Her favorite treat is a kibble-filled, peanut butter-topped Kong - yum!

Mindy
AKC Cocker Spaniel Mindy is a gentle soul and a pleasure to have padding around at my heels. She is very laid back and doesn't jump up or bark. While she doesn't care much about toys or balls, she'll do almost anything for extra petting! Her mellow personality makes her easy to have around and we're very glad to have her as part of our home in the Groen family.

Obsidian (Obi)
Obi has been the delight of Joe & Lydia's household since puppyhood. Willow our Lab immediately adopted her as a daughter and Obi faithfully follows her "mama" around on every adventure. Her favorite toy is her stuffed bunny, and she can often be found snuggled up with her ropey friend; but she is generally happy to interject herself into any game of fetch, chase, or tug. Every shape and size of treat is welcome in Obi's mouth, and she is a faithful attendant whenever we open the dishwasher in case there are any dishes that need a "pre-rinse". Still, her love for outdoor escapades keeps her from gaining any extra ounces. With champion Cocker Spaniels on both sides of the family, this lovely lady is a great blend of desirable physical and personality traits and we're looking forward to meeting her first litter of Cockapoos in 2024!

Porsche
AKC Cocker Spaniel Porsche is a petite pup who exudes the classic Cocker cheerfulness. Her tail is like an exclamation point and she often has her mouth open in a little smile. Porsche is enthusiastic about walks, balls, hanging out with the other dogs, people, puppies, rides....and the list goes on! She may be a little smaller than the other dogs, but she has a big personality! We're sure her puppies will be full of zest for life and overflowing with love, just like their mama!

S'more
When this adorable girl originally came to our family with a different name, our kids took one look at her and decided she looked so much like one of their favorite treats they just had to call her S'more! The name fits this fun-loving pup in more than just her outward appearance - she loves s'more playtime, s'more toys, s'more treats, and s'more love! She has lots of energy for all kinds of fun, and an endless attention span for all kinds of affection. Her enthusiasm for life is infectious and we're sure her puppies will carry her best qualities forward into their lives!
