VOXTON KENNELS Voxton Kennels is located in Glenmoore, Pennsylvania at the far North Western tip of Chester County, 65 miles north and west of Philadelphia and run by Mike & Marilyn Gilpin. Our kennel is primarily dedicated to the working English Cocker. Prior to emigrating to the United States, Mike trained and field trialed English Springer Spaniels and ran a 2,000 Acre Shooting Syndicate located in Cassington, Oxfordshire. Mike maintains all of his friendships with his former "dog training and trialing" buddies in the U.K., many of whom are leading professional handlers. On his trips back home he continues to add to his original circle of gundog training friends. These contacts allow us to source many fine dogs from the United Kingdom. Mike's first field trial in the United States was in 1998 and since that time he has made up 6 Field Trial Champions and received numerous field trial placements. He was Top Amateur Handler on the Cocker Field Trial Circuit in 2004. He very much enjoys watching others work their Cockers, having judged 16 Open All Age Cocker field trials. Mike accepts a small number of dogs for training and trialing in addition to his own string of field bred English Cockers. We breed a small number of litters, approximately one per year, our objective is to use a bitch, who has proven herself in field trials, mated to a dog which has similarly proven himself. The pedigrees of both the bitch and the stud dog must have a solid lineage of ancestors who have also proven themselves in trials. You can see some of our dogs and pedigrees here on our website. Thanks for visiting and come back again. |
