Ch Ky-Ann's La Sonrisa Bonita
|
This website is dedicated to the memory of our beautiful black girl, McKenzie, Am/Intl Ch LaBaron's Key T ' Ky-Ann's Heart CD CGC, who gave me a wonderful start in showing/breeding quality, healthy Cockers. She produced champion kids & grandkids. McKenzie was my foundation bitch and the beginning of Ky-Ann Cockers, although I owned my first Cocker in 1985. McKenzie's parents' and grandparents' eyes were CERF permanently clear and hips were OFA'd. McKenzie's eyes were CERF permanently clear, hips OFA excellent, patellas OFA normal. McKenzie left us at 8 days shy of 12 years old. She is also pictured on THE PAST page. A lovely headshot of her is pictured below on our business card. RIP sweet girl!!

Ky-Ann Cockers made the AKC Top Breeders List for the first half of 2018!
OUR PHILOSOPHY : At Ky-Ann Cockers, we feel a well-bred Cocker is a balance of loving temperament, correct conformation, and overall good health which is important to the breed's success in conformation, obedience, in the field, or as a family pet. When planning a breeding, mates are carefully selected by evaluating their conformational strengths/weaknesses, temperament, overall health/genetic testing, and pedigree to ensure the offspring are as good or better than their parents. Our goal is to produce puppies with wonderful temperaments and conformational qualities that closely meet the AKC Breed Standard with the ability to win in the show ring, yet still be great obedience/rally/agility, companion, or therapy dogs. We have puppies available to pet homes on a spay/neuter contract with limited AKC registration or show prospects available to serious show homes. All adults used for breeding will have genetic eye and hip testing done prior to breeding. The PUPPY page will be updated regularly with puppies/adults as they become available. The happiness, care, and well-being of our dogs is very important even after they leave here. Prospective buyers will go through a screening process to ensure they can provide the best home, care, and safety for a puppy/adult. I'm happy to answer questions for newcomers to the breed & provide support to owners long after they've acquired their Ky-Ann Cocker. Please address inquiries to the e-mail or phone number above.
SOCIALIZATION:
To ensure our puppies are well-socialized and happy when they leave for their new homes, they are socialized from birth. All our puppies begin training for grooming and stacking on a table at 4 weeks of age. Nurturing, socializing, grooming, & training are the key elements that help our puppies be wonderful show dogs or companions. Please browse our website to see our beautiful Ky-Ann Cockers.
