Whiskey is a very handsome, sweet pup. He is very intelligent, and has had good basic training.
Whiskey has some issues with social skills and resource guarding.
We have been working with him since he came back to us, and he is very responsive, very eager to please.

SUNNY AND STORMIE PUPS
January 9/24
Early scent introduction (ESI) is a training program for puppies designed to enhance their ability to identify, and react to, specific scents. Each day, we introduce a strong scent to the puppy for brief intervals, and record the puppy’s reaction.
The reaction is considered to be positive when the puppy shows interest in the scent, moving toward it.
A negative reaction is recorded when the puppy tries to get away from the scent.
And finally, when a puppy is neither interested nor disinterested in the scent, this is a neutral reaction.

Little miss on a mission.?
This shows you how they get around at this stage. They pull themselves along, almost like swimming.
At first, she finds her sister, but it wasn’t what she was after.
Even at this wee stage, pups can really move when they’ve got milk on their mind.?
Little Blue hangs on determinedly to his nipple so she can’t take it from him.?
January 23/24
Puppies are in their third week ?At this point the pups still mostly eat, sleep, poop, repeat.
When they are awake, they’ve got milk pretty heavily on their little minds.
This was their first week of Whelping Box Novelty Sessions -introducing different surfaces.
They weren’t thinking this was their idea of fun.? You hear they’ve started to develop wee little barks along with their other puppy sounds.
After the short discovery session, they’re ready to snuggle in a pile and sleep again.
February 2nd
Pups are in their 4th week, and enjoying trying out their new little barks and growls. They are getting strong enough on their legs to wrestle and tussle with each other.
These Whelping Box Novelty Sessions introduce them to objects of varying sizes, and textures.
Alert moments and attention spans are short lived at this stage, most of their time is still spent sleeping.

Testimonial page and on our Cocker Retriever Gallery.
We’d like to thank the families for sharing updates and photos with us.
Our Cocker Retrievers are a cross between our American Cocker Spaniel males and our American or English Golden Retriever females. Being a mixed breed dog, the temperament of the Cocker Retriever puppy will reflect the general temperaments of his parent breeds.
In physical appearance, our Cocker Retriever pups resemble a Golden Retriever, smaller in size, with Cocker Spaniel like ears. Some have straight coats, some wavy, with Golden Retriever feathering.
They can be anywhere from a light golden to a dark (red) golden coat, and if crossed with our Chocolate Cocker Spaniel- Fudgie, the pups can be black, black with chocolate highlights, or black with tan/golden markings.
Our Cocker Retrievers are anywhere from 28-45 lbs with most being in the 30-35 lb range.
It is very important to us that our pups are not left alone for extended periods of time, especially not on a daily basis. If pups are left alone too often or too long, they may start chewing or digging out of boredom or anxiety, and emotional and behavioural problems start to surface.
Our puppies are not for people who don’t have the time to interact with their dog or who don’t have the space to accomodate them. Fenced in yards are ideal, giving your Cocker Retriever the freedom to run off their energy, roam about and explore in a safe space.
The puppy and his family benefit greatly from obedience training. We highly encourage enrolling your puppy in Puppy School for the benefits of early socialization and solid groundwork for training.
We also highly recommend enrolling in Baxter & Bella’s Online Puppy Training Program. More info about this program is available on our ABOUT page. A well trained dog will be a pleasure to have around.
The Cocker Retriever comes from two intelligent breeds that are typically people-pleasers and are quick to pick up on and obey commands. A loving, positive, firm, and consistent approach to training establishes pack leadership early on. If your pup feels confident and secure in your love and leadership, he/she will thrive and excel in your training efforts. You will be bound for a joyful, exciting journey of learning together, achieving together, and celebrating a life of adventure together. ?
Since Cocker Retrievers have a double coat, they will need regular brushing, especially when they blow coat in spring and fall. To remove loose and dead hairs, use an undercoat grooming rake. Some Cocker Retriever pups have a fuller coat more like the Cocker Spaniel. These need a trim a few times a year, leaving the pup feeling and looking beautiful and well kept. ?
Keep an eye on your pup’s ears. Fold over ears are more prone to infections, so keep them clean and dry. Eco Ears is a good natural product that helps keep the ears dry and clean.
You do not want to bath too often, as this washes out the natural oils, and leaves the skin itchy and dry. When you do bathe your pup, thorough bathing with quality dog shampoo is very important. Make sure to rinse and re-rinse to get all the shampoo out as soap residue cwill cause skin irritation.
