"Buff" is the mid-shade of red that cockers come in and we use it on this chart to mean any shade of red: cream, light buff, buff, dark buff, golden, red.
If you don't see the color you are looking for, ask us.
Some people say blonde, tan, light brown, biscuit, or champagne. These all are "buff". Cool fact: Genetically buff is equivalent to a red haired human.
Some people say chocolate or liver. These are "brown".
Adding in puppy personality matching to the color outcomes makes the puppy selection a 3 step balancing process of color, gender, and personality.
News starting summer 2020:
We breed for health, temperament, and breed type before color.
As a result, as of summer 2020, not all litters will have all colors above possible in that particular litter, however all colors are still possible from our parents. The more flexible you are on color, the shorter the wait.
