All about Donna D. O'Ryan: Donna and our other female black and white parti were litter mates and were born on Christmas morning, 1998. Santa brought them into this world due to the breeder being hospitalized with a medical emergency. He had a heart attack. By the time he was released from the hospital, it was too late to dock the puppies tails, so our black and white gals have the tails that God gave them. Also, these gal's coats are shorter than coats found on show dogs, but the length of her coat is the ideal length for tracking woodchucks or small critters through the thorns and high grasses found in the field. The wonderful news is that we have found that Cocker Spaniels without docked tails and shorter coats are just as good-natured, cheerful, sweet, sensitive, friendly, gentle, loving, trusting, obedient, playful, and loyal as Cocker Spaniels that have had their tails docked or were born with long silky, coats!

Now let me introduce you to Donna . . .
