Episode 79, In this podcast I get to speak with a Springer and Working Cocker Spaniel breeder Josh Riddle of Rockey's Kennel. Josh and his father have been breeders of Field Champion Springer and Working Cocker Spaniels. Over the past 2 years I have been going to Josh and his father to select, raise and train many of the Spaniels we own and have trained and sold as Detection Dogs.
The Spaniel breed has been a popular choice as a detection dog in the UK and Europe, now they are starting to gain popularity here in the USA. Like in the past when the detection industry changes breeds it is important to handlers and trainers to know the breed they work with so that we can maximize the communication and working relationship between this breed and the handlers.
We discuss how this breed operates and what makes them unique and some take aways if you are considering this breed in the future.
