Bowiskey Cocker Spaniels - Carol Bowkis

In 1988 a litter of 10 puppies were born, in this litter was our first champion. Ch. Bowiskey Boy Blue was a wonderful black and white dog who stood out from the rest of the litter. He was a joy to own and proved himself not only in the show ring but in the field as well. He won his first Challenge Certificate at 8months old and at Crufts in 1990 he was awarded Best Of Breed. On October 19th 1991 Jamie made special history when he was awarded his Show Gundog Working Certificate. This made him the first full Champion in the breed for more than 10 years.

Ch. Bowiskey Island Boy was born in October 1991. A dark blue dog he went on to win 4 CCs, 6 RCCs and JW including 51 firsts at Championship shows. He was awarded his working certificate in October 1992.

Over the last few years we have had to limit our showing and breeding due to the fact that we now have three children. Although we still have four dogs at home and I have begun to show a blue bitch who shows great potential, mainland showing is still not possible.

We are very proud of our dogs and of what they have achieved over the past 18 years and we have so many wonderful memories to look back on, and as for the future who knows!
