We here  at Stori-Tails are dedicated to the health and well being of the much loved Am. Cocker Spaniel. My Goal is to produce cockers that live up to AKC standards as well as to support all that are striving to better the breed as well as to place my pups in loving, caring, homes with people that wish to make them part of their families or to win hearts in the show ring.

My name is Stori, yes that is my real name. I am a 45 yr old stay at home mom and a substitute teacher at my twin boys school. I have also taught 2nd grade Sunday school for over 2 years and bible school and children's church for over 22 years. My husbands name is Dwayne and we have three children, Dane, he is 21 and I have twin boys that are 11. We are very active in church, sports and school activities but mostly we love just being home as a family and playing with our dogs. We have a lovely home on ten acres and we just added an in ground swimming pool for us and our labs to play in, the Labs love it--the cockers not so much. I think they think it will mess up their hair!. WE also have a beautiful nice big play yard for the dogs that is fenced in that they get to go and play in on a nice sunny day, but most of the time they are in our living room laying beside us on the couch or under our feet. They love the kitchen the most because that is where all the goodies get handed out.

I have had a cocker in my life for as long as I can remember. I just love them. I have learned that you can never know all there is to know about a cocker spaniel or any dog for that matter, it is always a learning process and I have had some really wonderful people to guide me and help me to learn all I can about cockers and how to better the breed. I DO NOT NOR DO I INTEND TO EVER BREED OR OWN MERLE'S.  I strive to produce cockers that live up to the AKC standard and it is a constant work in progress.  I am a stickler for producing awesome heads and nice full coats with good conformation. Most of my cockers have champion pedigrees and are show quality. However, we do not show our dogs, they are simply our joy and part of our family and their only job with us is chasing tennis balls. I want to provide people with beautiful puppies and dogs that they can be proud to show off at home or in the show ring and a dog that will enrich the lives of those who choose to  own one of my cockers.

 Most of the dogs are kept inside of our home and they are part of our family.  We have a huge fenced in yard with a beautiful covered kennel area where the other's stay and play and often come in the house to play with us and the house dogs as well. We provide the same quality of care to our dogs that we would our children, meaning that they are groomed weekly, have regular vet appointments to keep up with immunizations and they are fed only the best food. WE have happy and healthy gorgeous dogs and we are very proud to own them. We have very few litters per year, but when we do, our mommas are fed foods high in protein and calcium to ensure that she has plenty enough nutrition for herself and to pass on to her babies, Each momma whelps and raises her puppies right here in our living room. This way we are able to handle them daily and make sure they are all doing well. My children and their friends also play a big part in raising the puppies. They are always taking one or two out and playing with them. This ensures that your puppy will be very social and have a wonderful temperament. Handling the puppies gets them use to the handling of a human. We start from day one handling our pups often, and then we start early grooming them as well so that when they come to be part of your family they will be accustom to all kinds of different situations. 

So, Please stay a while and look around and feel free to email me if you have any questions. If I can't answer them I am sure I can find someone that can. I have lots of friends that have guided me and taught me a lot and with them we are here to help. So feel free, I love to talk about my dogs.
