Avila Kennels - NZ Registered Breeders of COCKER SPANIEL

We are located in a beautiful, picturesque, rural area in Auckland. Our dogs live in especially designed facilities with 8 acres of safely fenced land for them to roam.
We have been exhibiting at dog shows and breeding for over 60 yrs.

We take pride in producing sound quality puppies with lovely temperaments that adjust into their new families lives with ease, giving years of love and enjoyment.

We DNA test for PRA and FN to ensure we do not carry those problems in our breeding.

We have bred and imported many top winning dogs that have won all breed Championship Best in Show and Reserve in Show, plus many Best of Group, and many Best in Show Ch Specialty Shows.
