Our History

 

 

Kandee & Brooke with the family after a great days hunt.

 

 

We first fell in love with this breed in 1983 when we purchased our first Springer as a family pet and hunting companion. Their charm and sweetness won us over.

 

Since then our goal has been to produce Springers that are sound in both mind and body. As breeders we take great pride in our job to improve the breed and preserve the greatness of dogs that have come before us.  We do not breed often and are very selective in our breeding program.   We strive to produce happy, healthy, athletic, beautiful, intelligent and well socialized puppies.

 

First and foremost our dogs must be of exceptional temperament before they are used in our breeding program. All dogs must pass health clearances; OFA Hips and Elbows, yearly eye exams, as well as be

Cardiac and PFK clear.  Our Springers are members of our family and live in our home with us.  We are very

proud of the versatility of our Springers and compete with them in all venues; breed, obedience, field, and hunt tests around the country.  They excel in all areas; from being great family pets to excellent upland game hunters, as well as fine show and performance dogs.  Our Springers have proven their brains, beauty and bidability by achieving many titles including the following areas of competition:

Field: Master Hunter

Agility: Master Agility Champions

Obedience: Obedience Trial Champion

Confirmation: Specialty and Group winners

 

Our dogs have also won National parent club awards for hunting, agility and obedience for several years in a row.  We have been blessed to share our lives with some very talented Springers to love and show.  Please take a moment to visit our website and meet our dogs.

We are members of the English Springer Spaniel Field Trial Association (Parent club), Twin Cities Voyager English Springer Spaniel Club and MN Hunting Spaniel Association.
