Ectot Homestead

Barry & Hazel Harrison
 
Our long relationship with the American Cocker Spaniel began Christmas 1975 when Hazel received a buff boy as a present - Sundust Golden Rendezvous (aka Montague).  Hazel was at the time living in Jersey, one of the British Channel Islands.  Monty was successfully shown in the Channel Islands and south of England.  We have owned and been active in the breed ever since.
 
We lived in Kent, England prior to moving to Michigan, USA in 2004 along with all of our ten 4-legged Ectot Gang.  During our time in Kent we were involved with the Home Counties American Cocker Club - Hazel being Chair and Barry Secretary.  Hazel also judged the breed at Open Shows and has judged at  a Specialty Show since we have been in Michigan.
 
We breed occasionally - our priorities being health and temperament.  We have - Black, Black & Tan, Buffs (all shades) and Chocolate.
 
Our affix (kennel name) is derived from a small town in Normandy and is pronounced "Eck - Toe".  Some of our dogs also have the word Detling in their kennel names - this is the village where we lived in the UK.

Rear view of the house showing the outside dog run.  Great in the Spring/Summer for getting the dogs out in the air but can have limited use when the white manure falls in the winter!  One plus with the snow - it does fill in the holes in the dirt road!

The basement which is heated and air conditioned is made over for grooming and our dogs.  The basement is divided into areas for playing, grooming and sleeping area.
