Hello!
I have owned cocker spaniels my entire life, since I was a very small child. I have always loved the breed and spent many years learning as much as I possibly could about them before deciding to breed them.
Here at Hallmark Cockers we are striving to produce exceptional, high quality, correct AKC standard American Cocker Spaniels
for sport performance, conformation show homes, and beloved family pets.
Our primary goal is to place our puppies into sport performance homes, and conformation show homes as much as possible.
We are small preservation breeders and only keep 2-4 high quality adult females,
and 2-4 high quality adult males for breeding.
Therefore, we DO have a wait to get one of our puppies.
If you are approved to join our waitlist, you can expect a wait time
of approximately 6-12 months to get a Hallmark puppy. Sometimes the wait can be shorter. :-)
*
WHAT HEALTH TESTING DO WE DO ON OUR BREEDING DOGS?
All our breeding dogs are cleared for hip dysplasia via PENNHIP and/or OFA vet submitted examinations.
We do OFA submitted exams for luxating patellas. We also screen for dental issues and cardiac defects by our licensed vet.
Our adult breeding dogs are CAER certified by a vet ophthalmologist for eye issues including juvenile cataracts and glaucoma, and have continuous vet eye exams to verify eye health.
*
We also do FULL panel EMBARK DNA testing on ALL of our adult cockers for several genetic, hereditary diseases
to help ensure we are only breeding and producing the healthiest cocker spaniels possible.
The genetic diseases we will be testing for include:
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), Exercise induced collapse (EIC), Familial Nephropathy (Hereditary nephropathy, Nephropathy, FN, HN), Glycogen storage disease VII (Phosphofructokinase deficiency, GSD VII, PFK deficiency), Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-PRCD, PRCD), Protein Losing Nephropathy Autosomal Recessive Hereditary Nephropathy (COL4A4 Exon 3) and more!
*
Hallmark Cockers come from wonderful champion bloodlines. Our dogs are our babies and are lovingly spoiled
and cared for in our home environment with plenty of toys, activities, and socialization.
Our cockers are kept well-groomed on a regular 4-5 week schedule.
We feed a premium quality food to all our dogs along with yummy treats and bones.
All our dogs and puppies receive proper, regular vet health care including regular dental cleanings.
All our sweet puppies are born and raised inside our home puppy nursery
and socialized with a variety of experiences from birth till time to go to their new homes.
We use multiple daily learning protocols in our very own HALLMARK PUPPY PRESCHOOL program to help socialize them and prepare them for real life environments.
*
We also do ENS (early neurological stimulation) and ESI (early scent introduction) protocols from days 3-16 after birth, to help them start out on the right path to successful adulthood. At 7-8 weeks of age we do a FULL temperament evaluation on each puppy to help each family know what personality type their puppy has and how to bring out the very best in their new puppy.
We do not allow our puppies to go to their new homes till they are at least 9-10 weeks of age as this is best for them.
*
To help our puppy families with training their new puppy, we also have a wonderful partnership with Baxter & BELLA online training school. We have a special discount code that will give you 25% off the LIFETIME membership fee when you join!
This online training program has tons of valuable information, one on one help from personal trainers and more!
Please see our Puppy School tab to check out this amazing training resource.
