Welcome
to Bellini dedicated to breeding happy healthy full tailed cocker
spaniels.

How
it began...
Little did we know how one cocker spaniel would totally change our
lives…..for the better. I had owned dogs before and loved
them all dearly but Poppy is that special girl, who understands
me so well. She spurred me on to discover as much as I could about
cocker spaniels and, when my daughter decided she needed another
dog to show we agreed that, providing she health tested clear, the
new addition had to be a daughter of Poppy.
We
had no intention of showing when we had Poppy, just loving ,and
that is still our main concern. Poppy is not the ideal show girl
being a little on the large side, something I well understand! She
is however very happy, healthy, loyal, loving, faithful, beautiful,
a great companion, reliable ….I think you get the picture.
So having spoken with our vet, who has always much admired her ,and
having her eye tested we just had to wait for the right time and
find her perfect mate.
We
found Irish Show Champion Salabah San Moritz, a beautiful blue roan
dog who shares some common ancestors with our girl. Luckily, it
was love at first and indeed second sight and as a result Poppy
became a mum on 7th February 2002.Poppy gave birth to three strong,
healthy girls and, as usual, she didn't let us down and gave us
the beautiful orange roan girl you will see on the following pages.
Her other two daughters, equally healthy and beautiful are light
blue roans like mum and dad.
In
July 2004 our lovely Pippa presented us with a super litter of 7
puppies. The puppies were sired by Powerscourt Higher Echelon.
Pippa proved to be a wonderful mother who cared for her pups beautifully.
In
May 2007 our lovely Pippa presented us with a super dooper litter
of 11 puppies. Click here
