Name: Ragamuffin (Rags)

Breed: Cocker Spaniel (Working Cocker)

Owner: Mrs L McInroy / Breeder: Miss V Jolly

Registered Name: Peppermint Spot

Date of Birth: 04/04/2003

Parents: (For a full Pedigree click here.)

• Sire: Bellsmill Dill

• Dam: Faith of Furrowdale

Proven: Well - has sired two litters, but subsequently turned his nose up or failed to handle nervous virgins... pretty much retired unless the bitch has some previous experience...he is not a sexually aggressive dog and if the bitch yelps then he backs right off (what a gent!) - but if they succeed in mating this means really lovely tempered pups.

Rags' personal strengths are his weaknesses as far as breeding goes. If he were human he'd probably insist on playing bingo games when his wife bought some fancy new lingerie, on the other hand he'd always open the door for her. Some dogs are just not so interested when it comes to mating - it's a shame when it is a lovely dog like Rags. We'd like to see more Rags pups out there.

He's a very energetic dog who loves games and playing and having fun in general. You can see some of his pups here, they are the quintessence of cute - but will also grow into strong, healthy and beautifully natured dogs. If you know anything about Working Cockers, they are a great breed. They have a keen intelligence, which you can associate with being a working dog.

We have mated Rags twice and both times the puppies have been excellent, healthy pups. Each time Chelsea (His mate) had 4 puppies, all of which have followed Rags in colouring (she is a Blue Roan).

Price and terms for Stud upon application.

If you have a beautiful Working Cocker Bitch who is looking for love, then Rags would love to hear from you (virgins need not apply - see above comments!!)
