"I got Milo, my chocolate-colored Cocker, from The Hazzard Family kennel when he was two months old. He is now almost four months old and is in excellent health, calm, and well socialized. Laura’s management throughout the process was impeccable: attentive, helpful, and truly knowledgeable. You can clearly see how much love and professionalism go into raising each puppy. I am completely satisfied with the choice I made."

"I got my Alfie a few weeks ago and he has been the light of my life. He is sweet and calm and I can’t adore him enough. Laura was amazing through the whole process. She was patient and answered all my questions and I had loads of questions. She provided me with everything that I needed for my new puppy. I can’t thank Laura enough and I know that she will be my “go to” breeder for English Cocker Spaniels. Thank you again Laura for everything and for allowing me to be momma to Alfie."

"The Hazzard family was recommended to us by a colleague, and from the moment we got in touch to express our interest to the day we collected Annie, everything was excellent. Communication was fast, clear, and detailed. They showed a genuine interest in our life situation to make sure the dog would be a good fit for us and that she would go to a loving, responsible home. The appointment to pick up and pay for our dog was very professional and well organised. When we arrived, we had a lovely chat, met our new family member, completed the paperwork, and then made our way home. They also helped us prepare for the journey back with many helpful tips to make the trip as calm and comfortable as possible for everyone. We collected Annie when she was four months old, and she is now already nine months old. We are still occasionally in contact with them, sending photos to show how Annie is growing, and whenever we have questions, they continue to take the time to offer advice, tips, and support. Since bringing Annie home, she has been learning quickly and has brought us nothing but love and joy. You can truly tell she was born and raised in a safe, caring environment. We can wholeheartedly recommend this family to anyone looking for a Cocker Spaniel. They are professional, kind-hearted, and happy to communicate in English if you don’t speak Italian. Thank you so much to everyone at Hazzard, especially Agneta and Laura 🙏🏽🥰🐶"

While searching for our first puppy, we came across Laura through word of mouth, and we can truly say it was a wonderful discovery. She raised Coco with love and expertise, and it’s clear that she does all of this with great passion. I recommend The Hazzard Family to anyone looking for a healthy, well-balanced puppy - and above all, a truly beautiful one. Thank you, Laura.

Federica Cipollina

We came into contact with Laura purely by chance. After a year since the loss of our beloved Bracco Italiano, we decided to welcome another dog into our lives - a Cocker Spaniel. We didn’t know much about the breed or about breeders, so one day I stopped a lady on the street who had a beautiful chocolate-colored Cocker. She told me about The Hazzard Family. I had already spoken with a few breeders, but when I called Laura, it immediately felt clear that we would choose one of her puppies. From the very beginning, she was extremely empathetic with us, while at the same time professionally explaining her work - a passion that is immediately evident. Shortly after, we went to meet her in person and fell in love with her breeding program and her beautiful puppies. After a few months of waiting, Delta finally became part of our family. She has stunning beauty and an excellent temperament. My children were instantly captivated by her. I truly recommend Laura, because she has turned her passion into her profession - and that really makes all the difference.
Thank you!

"We met Laura through a friend of ours who’s well known and respected in the dog-breeding community. We were searching for a Cocker Spaniel puppy after several years without a dog. I called Laura, and after a long chat I felt like I’d known her forever - she immediately inspired confidence. Four days later we were already at her home meeting the litter, and it was love at first sight! Alonso (originally named Jordan) came home with us twenty days later and has been an integral part of our family ever since. Laura is a truly special person - always ready to offer advice and answer any questions we have about caring for him. Today, May 27, marks one year since Alonso joined us, and all we can say is THANK YOU, LAURA! "

Manuela Ingallina

"We contacted Laura’s kennel after seeing photos of her beautiful puppies and reading the glowing reviews from their new families. From the very start, she was so responsive and supportive - especially when we hesitated at first, still grieving the loss of our furry baby a few months earlier. The moment we arrived at her kennel, her passion, love, and professional expertise for this wonderful breed shone through. By the time my husband and I left, we had no doubts and didn’t need to look anywhere else. Throughout the wait, Laura was always available with advice and shared every milestone and the sweetest moments of the puppies’ growth with us. Then Chico arrived and once again filled our hearts with his extraordinary beauty and sweetness - and day by day we discover just how intelligent he is! So, THANK YOU, Laura, for entrusting us with one of your little wonders. I’m certain that if she ever doubted the reliability of new owners, she would never part with one of her puppies - because for her this isn’t just a job, it’s pure love. If Chico could speak, he’d say, “Thank you, Mama Laura, because I couldn’t ask for more love than this!” - from your little heart-warrior."

"Laura was absolutely wonderful in the process of getting our puppy June! She is such a wonderful breeder and really worked with me to get her to the United States. We are absolutely in love."

Chris & Debbie

"We recently moved to the area and were looking to adopt a pair of puppies. Laura responded quickly to our inquiry and was very helpful throughout the entire process. We fell in love with Teddy and Bella on our first visit and are so grateful that they are now part of our family. Thank you, Laura!"

Samantha Vergani

"When I decided to get a cocker spaniel puppy, the Hazzard Family was the first page I visited and Laura was the first person I contacted, there was something about her that made me want one of her puppies. I visited several breeders before meeting the THF puppies in person and I can say that Laura's puppies are unique. Her passion for cocker spaniels is felt everywhere and she manages to raise every single puppy as if it were hers in the end, regardless of the family to which it will be delivered. During the weeks of waiting Laura is super helpful, I could only recommend The Hazzard Family to everyone to find their puppy, it is truly a one-of-a-kind reality, as is the fantastic Laura."

Hailee Morrione

“My Fiance and I decided we wanted to add an additon to our family, we found Laura through a simple google search and trusted the process. She was knowledgeable and super easy to work with. The puppy is healthy and so so so loved. We could not have been more blessed to come across this beautiful family to welcome our baby boy into our lives. He is amazing with kids, adults, other puppies and such a cuddle bug. Thank you x10000 for blessing our family.”

Sabrina Ronchi Barbierato

"I got to know Laura thanks to cocker spaniels and I can say that she is a fantastic breeder, meticulous in checking her dogs (x-rays, genetic tests, supplementary tests that many other breeders don't do, and constant examinations throughout the pregnancy). Her dogs, whom I've come to know over the years, all have a wonderful and very balanced character. I had the opportunity to see many puppies and they all stood out for a special quality that touched your heart. We got Elisabeth from her after losing our Lady. It was impossible to resist those languid eyes and her sweetness. I can only say that everyone should have the fortune of being able to have a dog bred by Laura because the imprinting that her female dogs leave on their puppies is something unique."

Erica & Filippo

"We were introduced to Laura through a friend who had already selected a beautiful puppy from her. Instantly, we fell in love with Artù and welcomed him into our family 🤎. He is incredibly well-behaved, sweet, and has brought immense joy into our lives. We receive countless compliments whenever we take him for a walk. We've sought Laura's advice on numerous occasions, and she has always been kind and helpful. We wholeheartedly recommend The Hazzard Family. Thank you, Laura!"

Francesca & Paolo

"I discovered Laura after contacting several Cocker Spaniel breeders, and upon reading her story on the website, I felt an immediate sense of empathy. Meeting her in person solidified our decision as we saw the love and care she provides for her dogs, who are her family. We were in search of a new little member for our family and thus, we chose little Cherie, who is as lively as any puppy can be. Laura has been incredibly attentive and caring even post-adoption. We would highly recommend her family if you're not just looking for a dog, but a new addition to your heart."

Claudia D’antona

"I met Laura through mutual friends during a time of sadness. Laura supported and advised me until I made the decision to adopt Holly. Holly managed to dry our tears and bring smiles to everyone's faces, capturing our hearts and showering us with affection. I am proud to be a part of this family, to have Laura as a reliable guide, always ready to advise and share moments with our puppy. On every walk, we receive compliments on Holly's rare beauty."

"Nina joined our family on a day that we'll always remember. She was born on August 24, 2022, as part of a beautiful litter of seven Cocker Spaniels. Laura has a wonderful collection of Cockers. She is a kind, knowledgeable person who clearly operates with passion and love for what she does. For anyone wishing to welcome a Cocker into their lives, Laura is the assurance of quality you need."

Elisabetta Bettera Correndo

"Guenda arrived on an extremely hot summer day, bringing with her a refreshing presence wrapped in fur. She is not only a gorgeous specimen but also an incredible blend of kindness and equilibrium. She is vibrant, joyous, and remarkably intelligent. Her gentle nature helped fill the painful void left by the loss of our black Labrador. I am certain that from her place beyond the rainbow bridge, she has guided Guenda on her path."

Cristina Garbelli

"I first met Laura at a dog show. From the outset, her professionalism and humanity impressed me greatly. After witnessing one of her puppy litters, I decided to adopt one of her dogs, a lovely pup named Choko. Over the years, we have maintained contact and I knew I could always rely on Laura for any issues that arose. This relationship has grown into a wonderful friendship. Laura's work is underpinned by excellent preparation and numerous sacrifices that are often unseen. With her guidance, I have participated in dog shows and achieved great results. I would choose Laura again, not just once, but a thousand times over. Thank you, Laura, for your dedication and the love you pour into your work. My gratitude towards you is endless."

Natalia Kuzmina

"My dream is to visit Italy and, finally, to meet personally and to hug a very dear person to me, the owner of several of my dogs. This person is Laura Appezzato. Her extraordinary love for dogs, reliability, passion and will to win never cease to amaze me. Love you Laura !!And...WTG...Always !!!"

Vittorio Bruni

"We met through common friend and I must say that we have found that Laura is a real professional who carries out with passion and love what she does for her dogs, the care she demonstrates for dogs and puppies really impressed us and in a year we represented her to our friends, who have also chosen her now. You will definitely always remain the Aunty of all your puppies.”

Ieva & Raivis

"Thank you Laura! Umpa has brought a lot of joy and love to our family. We have not had a bad day since we have got her, because she is keen on making us happy whenever she want to have a treat from us. She has a great hart! She enjoys all 4 seasons in Latvia, especially snowy days, so she can have her own ice-cream! Best of luck from Latvia!"

Piera Del Prete

"I met Laura almost by chance. I had just lost my beloved Weimaraner to a tumor and I wanted a less "demanding" dog that could fill the void that had been created in our family. After a lot of thinking I have chosen a cocker spaniel. I was looking for a a serious person, but above all someone who loved his work, so I asked for help from a Facebook group - that pointed out Laura to me. It took me one phone call to understand that she was the right person. Barth is an affectionate, docile and beautiful dog. I call him "cane gentile". He did not fill the pain for the loss of my other dogs but he knew how to carve out a great space of love in our hearts.”

Ilaria Bolzoni

"Wizard was a wonderful discovery for the whole family. It is impossible not to love him, he is always there, from breakfast in the morning, to herbal tea in the evening, to the shower in the bathroom. Well behaved, beautiful and friendly! Soon we will start with therapy and we will also be workers! Thanks Laura for this special dwarf!”

Andrea Panzeri

“I found Blake by chance after a very long search, when I had lost hope. Through glory I decided to call The Hazzard Family - never have i ever made a better choice in my life! As soon as I saw you Blake in the picture it was love in first sight, digital love until I picked you up for the first time. I have waited so long for the day to be able to take you home with me! Blake my love, you are the most beautiful thing that life could give me, you are beautiful, sweet, tender and affectionate. You are always there, you always have a kiss for me, you know how to brighten up the day even in the darkest and most difficult moments. You are an exceptional life partner, you are the result of so much love and sacrifices that aunt Laura has made in all these years to select an unparalleled line; beautiful, sweet and balanced. I had the honor of spending three days with her and only then did I understand how much sacrifice there is behind all this.. Thank you for everything, Laura! You have been really good not only for giving me Blake, but also for the patience you have in making me grow and advises you have given in this new world for me. You are not just an owner of dogs, you have become a friend and a mentor in terms of cockers for me!”

Michela Aghilar & Roberta Franzetti

"After having had a female cocker for seven years, we had the desire to have a boy within the walls of the house to keep company with our dog - Luce, so we contacted Laura and in December 2020 our family expanded. We called our dogs Luce and Gas and this amuses everyone a lot, but it is no coincidence, they represent my work very well! Gas is overwhelming in his way of being, he upset his sister Luce who initially did not greatly appreciate her arrival, but thanks to Laura's advice we were able to make sure that their coexistence has now become inseparable! If they do not see each other for a while they look for each other and above all - Gas goes crazy without her, I think it will be very difficult when Luce will no longer be there but now we are enjoying these years together! Gas is intelligent, sometimes overbearing but he is a great cuddle, he always wants physical contact! He respects other dogs and is the man of the house! We thank Laura for her support, the help and advice she gave us right away, what distinguishes her is that she is serious, professional but above all passionated! We are a beautiful family and we love our furry ones with all the love that can be given!”

Irina Zavlova

"Laura is simply a wonderful person, although we lived far from her she was extremely available in arranging a meeting to entrust us with our Penelope. Always kind and present, even from a distance we maintain a lively relationship through photos and messages of our little one. Couldn't have chosen better!”
