About Us

Our kids grow up with dogs. But our American Cocker Expedition startet with our younger son wanting a small dog only for him. His first own dog „Otto“ – Chippysize Rio Bravo was our first American Cocker. It didn’t take long until our kennel name sponsor „Smiley“ – Charles Dickens Jump And Smile moved in and she was followed by many more.

All of them are our small babies and spend 24 hours with us. I’m not sure who enjoys more. We or the dogs.

We visit Nationals as well as Flushing Spaniel shows in USA to learn more about this wonderful breed. During those visits Damir attended judge courses for American Cocker Spaniels and met a lot of wonderfull people. Damir is also an FCI breed judge.

PUPPIES

We are a small kennel located in Austria. Our goal is to breed happy and healthy dogs.

We enjoy every minute with our Cockers and we breed because we love the breed and we want more people to have the chance to share their life with such a great personality as an American Cocker Spaniel.
