Lanaudière American Cocker Spaniels

OUR CHAMPIONS LANAUDIÈRE, American Cocker Spaniels.
Our males: [Kim] [Gaspard] [DonJuan] [Watson] [Kino] [Joey]
Our females: [Delphine] [Cendrine] [Lara] [Sonate] [Caprice] [Mylène] [Sugar] [Axel] [Marylin]

Here is a selection of our champions...of conformation, obedience and champions of the sofa. They all hold a very special place in our hearts. The majority of these, now retired, dogs make up an integral part of the pedigrees of our younger animals. Each of them have special characteristics that I often recognize in their offspring, which makes breeding dogs such a fascinating past-time.
