Questionaire to purchase a Cocker Spaniel


The ownership of a Cocker Spaniel, like any pet is a serious responsibility that requires a long term commitment. It is the goal of C'lestial Cockers to be sure that this responsibility, as well as the financial and psychological needs of each Cocker be met in its new home. This questionaire has been designed to help prospective Cocker Spaniel owners address the issues that would directly affect their home and its suitability for a Cocker as well as aiding us in evaluation for the right dog to the right home. I have most all colors listed below for your preferences, however, I do not breed all of the colors listed.If I do not have anything you may be interested in, you may still fill out the form and I will try to direct you to other reputable Cocker breeders who may help. I am not a broker, nor get any gain for any of these breeders, I just try and help breeders and potential owners get together. I have no knowledge or responsibility after you and another breeder have contacted each other.:-) To send this, fill it in and click send.
