Puppies!!!!
Coming Soon To A Field Near You......
We have a passion for *Field Bred English Springer Spaniels*. We strive to produce a quality breeding in each and every litter. The pups are home whelped, and well socialized. They receive special handling as they develop, starting at just days old. Resulting in calm pups, easy to handle, and bathe. They have several nail clippings, baths, and one on one attention. They are introduced to car rides, water, and the outdoors, "if " the snow is not neck deep :). They are backed up with a 100%, 36 month, health guarantee in writing....
The pups will receive a full vet examination, first shots, have tails and dew claws done to field bred standards, and be wormed 3-4 times. They will be at a healthy weight, raised on good quality food.
Our foundation dogs are hunted on wild birds. We strive to produce natural ability in a biddable package. Dogs with great noses, who can use the wind well, find downed game, and trail out crippled game. They must retrieve, and mark well. They must also possess a tender mouth. We will not have a bird cruncher on the place. We firmly believe many traits are hereditary, including hard mouth.
Foundation dogs must have a solid temperament, and be family members in the household. Lets face it, they hunt for most people a few months a year, and the rest of the time, they have to watch TV with the kids. They must be of nice stature, and pleasing to the eye as well. We simply put, do not want to make the breed "worse". We want to improve it. If there is ever an issue, we would wish to know about it.
All pups are reserved on a first come first serve "limited" basis, with a $200 deposit. In doing so we also strive to make suggestions, and pair the best possible match with the people.
Your deposit is guaranteed. If we do not produce the desired pup tailored in your pup agreement, we will shred your check, mail it back to you, or place it on another pairing. Your choice.
We recommend planning well ahead, because most cases in a quality breeding, they will be spoken for before they arrive. We only reserve a limited number of pups per litter. We try not to "over book" any planned pair. I know that practice exists, but we just don't feel right doing that here...
Below you will find information about current news, and upcoming options available. We try to keep things pretty well updated. If we do not have what your looking for at the time. Never be afraid to call and talk dogs. We know several breeders, and may be able to refer you to another "quality" pairing.
We offer free training advice via you coming out, or phone, email etc. if you wish. We know or belong to several training groups, who always welcome new folks. We train all the time. All you have to do is do it! We want all pups to be placed successfully, and in the right home....
