Janan Cocker Spaniels is a small show kennel in Rotorua, New Zealand. Our website combines three things we are most passionate about.
Dog Sports & Showing
Showcasing our own Cocker Spaniels. You'll find a bio and photos for each of our dogs. We work hard to breed quality cockers who not only meet the breed standard but are sound healthy and happy cockers.
Our dogs are consistently winning at all levels, in many different dog sports, we're very proud of them, the ones we keep ourselves and those owned by others.
We hope you enjoy learning more about Janan Cocker Spaniels
Breeding
When we breed a litter, choices are made based on the breed standard, type, temperament and soundness. Most of the Sires are imported as we look for the best dogs available world wide. We breed when we want an new show puppy, for ourselves, we do not breed for profit. And most of our girl have 1 maybe 2 litters in their lifetime.
We undertake cocker spaniel specific DNA testing for PRA-prcd , FN (AHRN) and AN (AON) and the generic breed testing for EIC, PFK, AMS & BHFD
Careful consideration goes into my breeding plans, long before a mating takes place. No puppy we breed will be affected by the conditions we can reliably DNA test for
Puppies we don't keep are available to loving family homes.

Check your spam, or contact me again, if you haven't had a reply. I get some that don't include an email address, so cant reply.
Health
We take a comprehensive approach to breed health, make well-rounded breeding choices that prioritize the health and well-being of our cockers. We maintain relationships with owners, breeders, and those in canine health, science and welfare to improve our knowledge and keep up with the latest research.
There are many generic tests available, but in many cases its still unsure if a breed has a generic or specific DNA marker that causes a health issue, so we undertake these with this "best intention" caution, until science can provide definitive results..
My personal collection of research notes on cocker spaniel health issues from varying sources is included, as passionate as I am. By developing a global breed profile we can understand more.
Please contact me if you'd like to use this information. I'm happy to share but it's important acknowledge this is an informal collection.
