Welcome to Macdolly Cocker Spaniels
At Macdolly we have been exhibiting Solid English Cockers since 1987 & our first litter was born in 1989. To date we have bred 7 BIS winners. Our Danish import bitch is also a BIS winner.
We have had many firsts in the breed - the first GOLD Grand Champion in the breed (GRAND CHAMPION MACDOLLY A XMAS KRACKER), the youngest Grand Champion in the breed (GRAND CHAMPION MACDOLLY AUGUSTUSLEONART), the first undocked Cocker to win a BEST IN SHOW ALL BREEDS in the country - (CH SHEERCLEVER NOTHING ELSE MATTERS (imp Denmark), the first undocked Grand Champion in the breed GRAND CHAMPION JYNDEL AS GOOD AS IT GETS.
We have enjoyed many great wins over the years with many dogs that have touched our hearts. Some we have had the fortune to have bred ourselves, some were owned or campaigned by us and some were descendants of dogs we have bred. We have had misfortune as well, but that is part of life.
Until June 2008 our show team was lead by our black girl, BISS GR CH JYNDEL AS GOOD AS IT GETS (Specialty BIS Winner, Royal CC Winner). Dimity left our shores bound for Denmark in the care of our amazing friend, Tuija, at Kennel Sheerclever. She was make her showring debut in europe and we look forward to her first litter as 2008 draws to a close. Dimity was shown alongside our beautiful 'Luby' CH MACDOLLY ALL OR NOTHING - 'Luby' now likes nothing more than to relax with Paul and Belinda so the show reins here in Brisbane is now left to our youngsters.
Our team now is just two, but who needs quantity when you have quality and we are thrilled with their early successes. Our lineup is now our Bunny daughter,CH LAMORNA PON DE REPLAY 'Ivy' - who is a mulit IN SHOW winner already has a Best in Group and Reserve in Group award to her credit. She is battling out the CC's and the In Show awards with our stunning daughter of Gr Ch Royoni Hes True Blue and our own CH MACDOLLY OBSESSION. Our lovely black girl, 'Reba' CH MACDOLLY IRREPLACEABLE made limited appearances through the baby class, but has really showed us her potential through minor - with multi CC's and Reserve CC's plus In Group and In Show awards. On the day she turned 8 months she took out Reserve in Group (BIG2) and went on to Aust Bred in Show over multi BIS winners - we hope she will contiue her success.
Our extended show team in Far North Queensland is headed by Denise and Chelsea Burke of Monabecca Kennels. Denise and Chelsea are exhibiting RUBIS CH MACDOLLY LIVE ACTION and CH MACDOLLY LOTSA KISSES (Litter brother and sister), and a young blue roan boy BIS CH MACDOLLY MAKE MINE BLUE. Denise and Chelsea also have a new baby to show in 2008 - little 'Tilly' MACDOLLY IRRESISTABLE and has recently taken charge of another upcoming youngster from us, MACDOLLY CANT GET U OUTTA MY HEAD, a very promising blue roan baby girl and we have high hopes for the continued success.
Over in New Zealand we are very proud to welcome Robbie and Rhona DeBoyer to the Macdolly team - and they are making their mark with their lovely black girl New Zealand Champion MACDOLLY INTUITION, who made up her title with ease with many best of Breeds along the way and also a Junior in Show award to her credit - and of course, many reserve CC's. Keep your eye out for a new MACDOLLY joining Robbie and Rho later in 2009.
Unlike many other breeders, here at Macdolly we do not have kennels - our numbers are very low (at present we have two Cockers only with us) and all kept in show coat and in the show ring on a regular basis. Here in Australia we have the ability to be able to attend a show within a 2 to 3 hour radius of our home almost every Saturday and Sunday without fail, and many Friday's have shows as well. Our dogs all live in the house, sleep on the bed and are thoroughly spoilt rotten - as all Cocker Spaniels (and Vizslas) should be.
All our dogs are prepared exclusively in PLUSH PUPPY products, and campaigned by Simon Briggs and Terri Davies.
Our dogs are conditioned on PEDIGREE ADVANCE - our small show team is proudly sponsored and supported by PEDIGREE and we are very proud ADVANCE AMBASSADORS.
The combination of leading edge dog food and coat preparation products keeps our small show team in the winners circle. Thank you Pedigree and Plush Puppy. We use and recommend PEDIGREE ADVANCE PET FOODS - our dogs excel on this leading edge food. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require more information about PEDIGREE and the products we recommend.
We do not breed very often, and when we do have a litter, it is only because we wish to keep something for ourselves, or we plan a mating to produce a show prospect for one of the people on our waiting list. We are however, very realistic, and not every litter produces a show prospect, and we always have puppies from our litters for sale to kind and caring pet/companion homes. However, we do only sell to people who will allow their Cocker to live inside and be part of the family. If you are not prepared to do that, then a Macdolly Cocker Spaniel is not for you.
I hope you enjoy your visit to our website today. Our huge thanks to Paul and Belinda Vesey-Brown for designing and hosting this labour of love.
