All
our dogs and bitches are chosen and raised for their temperament, intelligence
and pliability - the use of gentle, modern motivational methods based on
guidance & psychology - when combined both are a very successful and also an
agreeable formula to use.
Verstone bred Spaniels are now well established in several countries worldwide, they are known for their intelligence, speed and above all - their superb temperament, which enables them to be both excellent working dogs and pets in the home. All ESS & Cocker pups are homed from the minimum age of eight weeks and are Kennel Club Registered, Veterinary docked and dew-clawed as per The Docking of Working Dogs Tails Act 2007.
