This information is accessable three different ways- by our new Quik-ListTM html alpha-sheets, by an Excel Spreadsheet (large file) or by using Pedigree 4.08 (best way), which is a free database program. To use this program, download a copy from the Willowind Dalmation website and install it on your computer. Next, import the latest smwick.pdg file from our website. There also is a plug-in COI program on the Willowind site that will enhance your breeding research and planning.
Pedigree 4.08 will also assist you in your kennel record keeping requirements, including vet records, breeding records (required by AKC) and expense records. It is a fantastic program and well worth the effort to learn. Preview a Screen Shot.
The smwick05.pdg file will be updated on a regular basis. If you have additions or corrections please e-mail us. The dogs name with Sire and Dam is good, better yet if you have DOB, color, Registration numbers and so on.
The html alpha-sheets and the smwick.xls Excel file will not be updated as often, but they are good place to check if you are really impulsive and don't want to bother loading the Pedigree program. The xls file is rather large and will take some time to download.
Nameology
In situations where the name spelling was questionable, we have, when available, used the spelling as registered with the AKC. It is amazing how many kennel names are mis-spelled, or have several permutations. In fact, there are two spellings for Smyth(e)wicks.
The possessive apostrophe "s" is a real problem. Some registrations use them, some don't. Again, we have sought to use the AKC registration info, when available. However, this presents problems in data sorting. For large kennel names, such as Saighton's, Strong's, Denalisunflos and Dansmirth's, we originally standardized on what appears to be the most standard usage. However, as names are verified with the AKC, corrections are being made. Keep on your toes when searching, always looking at alternative spellings.
Personal Use
You may download the database in its various forms for your own personal use, including the generation of pedigrees for distribution for dogs you own, breed or sell. Otherwise, you may not redistribute this database (free, or for charge) as it is, or incorporated into a larger database, without written permission, which may easily be obtained in most circumstances.

The pedigree information includes Breeder and Owner info, and there is a section on Cockers as well.
"I like this book". Thats the short review. Read Bill Fawcett's entire reveiw of this book in the Spaniel Journal.
Updated 10/04! Alpha-List
Some of you have requested a way to quickly lookup Sire and Dam information without downloading the entire database. These HTML alpha-sheets will do just that, however they only contain the most basic information. The complete Pedigree 4.08 database files include Titles, Sex, DOB, Color, and Breeder information where available. Note: these files are only updated about every 6 months. The most up-to-date information is contained in the .pdg file accessable with Pedigree 4.08 (free download).

Mike Smith's, "Working Springers & Cockers", is a must for any spaniel lover. It is a world-wide best seller. Working Springers & Cockers covers training, pedigrees and the views of field trial personalities. There is also much information on successful bloodlines and it has over 100 photographs, some dating back to the 1930's. A great source for UK FTCH info. More info at
