About Me

My photo
Hi, My name is Gail Bohacek-Sheehan (Nightingale Cockers). In October of 1982 we bought our first Cocker Spaniel puppy from a person unknown to us at the time - Jane Benthein (Schatzie Acres Cockers), Manitowoc, WI. Jane and I became best of friends. It was the cutest black female puppy,"Daisy". Later Jane and I bought a black n white puppy bitch, "Katie", "Schatzie's n Bo's Katie Jane". She produced my first champion. 'Ch. Nosowea's n Bo's No Trial", "Toby". Toby's offspring are still in the ring with Joanne Thorp today, "Nosowea's" Cudahy, WI. Then I purchased a silver buff female who became "Ch. Tri-Pod's n Bo's Picture This","Lacey", from Deb Podratz "Tri-Pod Cockers", MN. She, Lacey, produced "Ch. Nightingale's Double Take", "Tiffany" and "Ch. Nightingale's Classic Image", "Jamie". From "Tiffany" we still have the lines 8 generations later being "Nightingale's Golden Isle Breezes" "Breezy" producing "Nightingale's Mercy Me" and "Nightingale's Southern Jezebel".

Update on the Breezy n Trigger puppies - they will be 7 weeks old on Monday, April 2, 2012 and will be getting their first vaccinations. They will also be getting their second dose of worm meds. They will be ready to go be adopted mid week, in time for EASTER! Pets will need to be spayed/neutered. They are all so gorgeous. It has been hard to decide which to hold back for show potential. When stacked, a few are self stacking. It is so nice to see...Chris of Moonfyre Cockers is taking one of the girls as she shares all the lines with me which produced these great kids! Trigger and Breezy are out of the last two cockers, Angie, 'Schatzie's Winter's Snow Storm" and Haley, Schatzie's Silver Comet, I got from Jane Benthein (Schatzie Cockers) whe she passed away in July of 2006. The lines go way back to Laurent's, Echowood's, Lurola's, Ashleysown Kahlua, Gallant, Darkhaven, EZ's, Gazon...these puppies are black and black/tan!

Update...all 8 beautiful puppies are doing great. They turned 4 weeks old on Monday evening, March 12, 2012. They are all walking and starting to play. They started eating mush this week and are enjoying making a mess. I gave all of them their first baths yesterday and cut all of their toe nails. I must say they were very good. Then we rounded them up and took a nice group picture which I did post on facebook and today I placed the first ad on www.kijiji.com when I realized they will be 7 weeks the Monday before Easter. I hope the Easter Bunny is reading this post, lol - stay tuned for the next update!
