Abilou Cocker Spaniels was set up by myself, Abigail Yates and family, based near Preston, Lancashire. Our first dog was Flossy (Lourisma Lunetta) who has been going to obedience classes since she was 4 months old and now completed all the  KC good citizen dog scheme awards, she has a lovely kind nature which has been passed down to her puppies.

Our first show dog at Abilou Cocker Spaniels was Sophie (Abilou Bluebell of the West) who helped me over a number of years gain knowledge about showing cocker spaniels at open and championship show level, she now lives with another family as a pet in the south of England and doing very well.

Our next show dog was Charlie (Abilou Starlight of Lunetta) he has unique markings, and, from 6 months old, has been doing very well in the show ring, gaining a 5th place in Special puppy at Crufts 2006 and 4th place at Crufts 2007. Charlie has also passed his KC good citizen dog scheme Bronze and Silver award.

In 2007 Flossy had her next litter where we kept 2 puppies called Toby and Grace. They both have a lovely temperament and have been doing well in the ring.
