I grew up in dogs and they have been my life’s passion. I finished my first homebred owner handled champion (a golden Retriever) in 1971. I added my first English Springer Spaniel in 1972 and have had an ongoing breeding program that continues to this day. 79 AKC champion English Springer Spaniels wear the Ocoee prefix, including BIS and National Specialty Best of Breed winners. Homebred Ocoee dogs hold two breed records- the all time top Specialty Best of Breed winner with 42 wins, GRCHG Ocoee D sqd With A Vengeance, and the all time top AKC NOH series BIS winner, with 25 wins, GRCHS Ocoee Wild about Hunter.
