I'm Rachel Johnson. Owner of Aine Cockers, Formally Johnsons' Cockers. I changed my name after I found the word "Aine" (Awn-Yea) online. Aine in Old Irish means "Intelligent, graceful, charming, witty, radiant and joyful". Which in my opinion, is everything a Cocker is, so it was the perfect name for me. I live with my hubby and our 2 wonderful daughters Amber and Alexis in the beautiful Northeast, PA. My love for the breed has drawn an unbelievable spirit from within of which I'll explain in my story below. My husband and I went looking to add a dog to our family and after much consideration and research we ultimately decided on Cockers. At that time we only had a little two bedroom apt. So the baby had to be on the small side but not a purse dog, must be a versatile dog, athletic, good with kids and Merry, etc. Anyhow, after knowing which breed, we then started with interviewing breeders. Luckily enough, it was a short process as we came across a Wonderful breeder almost immediately. There came Lucky, my first cocker. When we first got Lucky, we had no intentions on doing anything other than having a family pet. So, Lucky was neutered. After which My husband saw a Blk/Tan cocker on TV. Well, next thing you know, we got Reese(blk/tan). Shortly before getting Reese, I had a serious accident at work where I feel off the back of a truck and virtually destroyed my right arm. So, I was home bound at that point and very sad. I loved my job I think more than life itself. Well, I fell into a horrible depression. The only thing that helped me get out of bed in the morning were my Cockers and I mean that literally as Lucky would jump on the bed and lick my face (or drop a ball on my head) until I got up. One day my friend came over and she said "Reese is so pretty, You should show him". Well, it then dawned on me that maybe I should get involved in some other form of Cocker related things, maybe it'll help me. So, I started diligently researching Conformation, Health and Agility. I contacted Reese's Breeder and let her know of my new intentions, she was fine with it. Then, I contacted Lucky's breeder, who I knew showed Cockers, and she took me under her wing. Well, it's been all up hill since then! I am unable to ever go back to work as there is too much permanent damage but that's ok I need my left arm to show, not my right....LOL. I like my new job much better, they devoted their time to me helping me overcome depression, I in return devote all my time to them. I, to this day, thank my Lucky stars for my babies. I don't know where I'd be without them. They saved my life... Here are some pictures of my home and yard. As you can see there are no kennels. All my babies are raised and live in my home, which includes my breedings, with my children and as apart of our family. Click here to view our Philosophy.
