Does Kebec's Cockers Still Breed or Sell American Cocker Spaniel Puppies?
Updated
No. Kebec's Cockers no longer breeds American Cocker Spaniels, and the site states plainly that it does not accept puppy or dog requests or referrals. If you are looking to buy or reserve a puppy, this website is not a route to one.
What the site says
The homepage identifies the owners as Pierre Talbot and Jean Delisle, conformation judges who bred American Cocker Spaniels starting in the 1980s, with their kennel permanently registered in 1986. It describes them as "retired from breeding."
The contact section repeats the point without ambiguity:
"We are not breeding anymore, so please no puppy/dog request/referral."
That covers both possibilities a visitor might have in mind — asking for a puppy directly, or asking to be pointed toward someone who has one.
What the site is still useful for
The kennel's history and judging work remain documented, which may interest people researching bloodlines, show results, or the breed in Canada.
| Topic | What the site provides |
|---|---|
| Breeding history | American Cocker Spaniels bred since the 1980s; permanently registered in 1986 |
| Show record | Dogs described as Best In Show, Best In Show Specialty, National Specialty winners, plus American, Canadian, FCI-International, Brazilian, Puerto Rico, and Belgium champions, among other European countries |
| Judging | Both owners are Canadian Kennel Club judges; the site lists breeds and groups judged by each, and notes judging at the 2022 American Spaniel Club |
| Photos and video | Photos and video pages, including a "Some of our Stars" section |
| Contact | Mont-Saint-Grégoire, Québec, Canada; phone numbers and email for Jean Delisle and Pierre Talbot, plus Facebook links |
If you still want an American Cocker Spaniel
Because Kebec's Cockers has stopped breeding and will not make referrals, you will need to look elsewhere. Practical starting points:
- National breed clubs — the American Spaniel Club (US) and the Canadian Kennel Club are the kind of bodies that publish breeder directories and breed information. The site itself references the American Spaniel Club in connection with judging.
- Kennel club breeder listings — the Canadian Kennel Club, since the kennel is Canadian, or the AKC if you are in the United States.
- Breed rescue organizations — a reasonable option if you are open to an adult dog rather than a puppy.
When contacting any breeder, expect to be asked about your home, experience with the breed, and plans for the dog; responsible breeders generally screen buyers rather than the reverse.
One thing to note
The site does not list prices, availability, waiting lists, or any sales process, because it is not selling. Nothing on the page should be read as an offer of a puppy, and the contact details are best used only for questions unrelated to acquiring a dog.
