Cocker Spaniels Happy Personality & Waggy Tail Bearded Collies Lively & Intelligent Breed

Welcome

For more than twenty years Morgan & Sheila Jones have shared their home with us , the dogs and it is a case of sharing!First to move in was Fleck the Cocker in 1995 , soon followed by Molly the one eyed Bearded Collie and the love affair began. 


The kennel name (affix) was created as us dogs began to take over. Today there are eight of us Beardies and eight Cockers in one big happy home. We share our lives in a fifteen acre smallholding with three horses and chickens too, in the beautiful Welsh countryside. Keeping ourselves fit and gloriously filthy running in the fields and paddling in the brook. We are all descended from Molly and Fleck the original rulers of the house. 


Sometimes we have puppies available to go to new homes. We are all health tested under the current schemes and our puppies will be health checked at the vets too. They will be micro- chipped and have their first vaccination before leaving home.


We do like to meet and smell new people so if you are thinking about having one of us Beardies or Cockers you must come and meet the family to make sure that we would be right for one another. Be advised that any delicious goodies brought with you will have disappeared by the time you leave!

Cockers come in many colours , solids solid & tan, parti colours such as the roans and black & white for example. 


Bred originally to flush out game such as the Woodcock ( where the name cocker comes from). Easily trained to retrieve as well. Recognised by the Kennel Club in 1893. The modern cocker has split into two separate strains.


The show type cocker, bred to conform to the Kennel Club breed standard. Domed head with long pendulous ears and long wavy feathering. Needing moderate exercise and stimulation. ( See separate exercise chart).


The working type cocker, bred not for looks but the ability to do the job. Flatter skull ,with shorter ears , less coat and generally a longer body. They are bred to work extensively so when in a pet home need lots of stimulation and exercise to keep them happy.

Bearded Collies

The Bearded Collie is a very lively intelligent breed

The Bearded Collie is a very lively intelligent breed , originating from Scotland where they were used to herd and drive sheep and cattle. Today more commonly found as pets or show dogs . Some are still used on farms and make excellent obedience , agility or herding competition dogs.


The breed was saved from extinction in the 1940's by a Mrs Willison. She ordered a Shetland Sheepdog from Scotland and instead received a brown beardie. She set about finding a mate for her and named them Jeannie of Bothkennar and Bailie of Bothkennar . These two dogs form the foundation all modern beardies in the world today.


The coat is the most striking sight , harsh long flowing weatherproof topcoat with a soft furry insulating undercoat . There are two colours Black and Brown, these dilute to include fawn and blue, making up the four birth colours. The beardie coat pales during puppyhood and adolescence then reverts to a final darker colour in young adulthood. The colour at the tip of the ears in puppyhood is a good indication of the final colour as it does not fade. Beardies have a very athletic build, light with a well muscled frame and long body. Well angulated with a broad flat skull making for plenty of brain room. Dogs around 25kgs and bitches around 21kgs. Height - dogs 22 inches and bitches around 21 inches from the shoulder.


The beardie requires lots of exercise with plenty of free running to express their full personality and expend much energy. This exercise needs to be at least once a day or the beardie will become bored and possibly destructive. They are fabulous diggers so not for the proud gardener and suitably high fences are needed to keep them from enjoying digging next doors' garden too! The beardie has a lot to say too, barking stems from droving days moving the cattle and sheep along the lanes to markets as far away as London. Unfortunately this is not a deterrent as if an intruder were to venture in they would probably receive a beardie hug and lick

Morgan Update


Morgan now lives with teaching assistant “Heather” who explains the new relationship below …..











“Morgan has changed my life, I always say, he has changed my perspective on my deafness from an apology sorry I’m deaf, sorry I didn’t hear that and sorry can you repeat that into a statement. His coat already tells people that I am deaf. I don’t feel the need to apologise for the inconvenience of not hearing anymore, but feel empowered to tell people how to communicate more effectively. For example - I need you to look at me”
