We are looking for a solid gold, but like other solid colours too. We have already checked KC lists, Cockers Online, Solid Cocker Club and I've emailed about 40 breeders found by typing "Cocker breeder" into google, so I'm not after advice about where to look. I'm hoping that someone who knows of a litter that hasn't been advertised yet will be able to help.
Many thanks

Like any other breed, you need to make sure you are buying from a reputable Cocker breeder. Have you seen this article?

Breeders don't always answer emails - there have been so many scams involving the sale of puppies. Try phoning some breeders up %26 going on a waiting list, you shouldn't have any problem getting a healthy puppy if you go through the breed clubs.

I woulnt know...But try advertising what you want on Gumtree.co.uk...or contact a few local vets and put up a notice in them, or if you are lucky, they may have some notices up!..Or people frequently advertise in pet shops too.good luck!
You could try checking out the ads in loot http://www.loot.com/home-garden/dogs... and exchange and mart http://www.exchangeandmart.co.uk/iad/bap... also the dog magazines in the newsagents have adverts for puppies in them.
Just looked at the comment Gemma F made below. I have heard this too. Especially the goldens, I am sure its not true of all goldens, but it is worth doing some research. I did know of two very nasty cockers in the park with the "anger mangement" issues though. My aunt had the blue one and he was fine though.
In general, I am very wary of breeders who advertise via the internet, especially if they are ready and willing to ship dogs. Your best bet is to stick with breeders recommend by the breed club, or AKC.
Good luck
Did you know that block coloured cockers are very prone to "Cocker Rage"? They can be extremely nasty if you get one with that, as they are so intelligent, and can be nastier than a pitbull or rottie.
Why don't you consider rescuing a dog? There are thousands of perfectly good dogs in rescues all over the place needing homes.
