Newstead English Cocker Spaniels

Home to champion English Cockers

 AKC Breeder of Merit

 located outside of Charlotte, North Carolina

English Cocker Spaniels have been our passion since 1996. In Dec. of that year my husband, sons and I brought home our first English Cocker, Blackavar Newstead Abbey. In May of 1998 a vibrant eight week old, Bellflower Reflection, came home with us. Lulu was everything I had dreamed of in an English Cocker Spaniel and delighted us by becoming our first champion as well as having two beautiful and healthy litters. She is the foundation of Newstead English Cockers and is the keystone of who we are today.

The shock of losing Lulu and her chow-mix buddy Zoe in a house fire in 2003 will never leave me. This website is dedicated to her - my first champion, my bed dog, my heart - Ch. Bellflower Reflection - my Lulu.
