This is Shazam
Ch. CVJ N Aj's Can't Buy Me Love
Shazam is a blue roan and tan Cocker Spaniel.

This page is set up to showcase the roan coat pattern.
 None of these Cockers are available. 

Here at Aj Kennels we own a Champion Blue Roan/tan Cocker Spaniel.
We also produce blue roans, red roans and brown roans. 
Our roans will always be Champion Sired!

Years ago I talked to Polly Swanson a well known Roan breeder
when I first got into cockers and she was one of the few breeders
that knew information about roans and their coat type.
I started out with a blue roan and tan male from Oakridge.
One of my first roans was named Mowgli
from the Disney movie the Jungle Book.



Here is Diego who is a past roan puppy.
Who his owner has told me has been of the healthiest cockers they ever owned!!!


Later, Mowgli was placed in a new home.
Years have went by with out any passion or interest in the roans.
Then I seen a blue roan and tan male that I just fell in love with.
He was either to go to me or Rhonda G. but something fell through
with Rhonda and I can't remember the reason, but I ended up getting him.
We named the puppy Shazam aka Sam I Am.
Who became our fourth Champion in 08.



Shazam went to stay with V & A and he became a Champion in record time.
Shazam went to the American Spaniel Club in 2008 and was
approached by Bill and Lloyd and Polly Swanson and
many others who gave Shazam fantastic compliments.


Below are some of Shazam's puppies.
 

This is a picture taken of Shazam laying down.
The picture was a close up photo to show you the roan.
 


A blue roan and tan puppy just born.
Some puppies at birth look just like parti colors.
Others look like this, which shows you right away that, "I'm A Roan".
You can see the shading on the paws, halos on the feet and the smudge of color on the face.
The hardest color of roan is the red roan as it seems you have to wait
longer to really find out if they are roan or just a red/white.

Still yet a puppy.

FYI about Roans.
Roans do not have BLUE EYES!
They are ok to breed roan to roan, but I don't recommend it.
They do not have health issues like some believe that merles have.
They are listed Roan through AKC.
It does not take two blue roans to make blue roans,
Best way to get blue roans is to breed blue roan to a parti and not a solid.
I would breed to the most open marked parti possible.
If they are bred to a closed mark parti then they seem to get darker.
When you have a litter depending on how the litter was bred.
You could end up with blue roans, blue roan tans, red roans, brown roans and parti's.
Blue roans when born look like black and white but then change as weeks go bye.
That is why they call it roan progression, usually it takes an educated eye is required to know if the puppy is a roan at birth.
 Because of ASC not accepting merle many merles are registered as roans which
they are not and this causes a lot of confusion in our breed today.
