I'm Mary L., the breeder behind Bean Sidhe Springers located in Salt Point, NY. I breed for health, field conformation, biddability, athleticism, drive, and temperament. My puppies are great all-around dogs that excel when kept active. It would be my pleasure to introduce your family to your next English Springer Spaniel!
Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
A consistent love for the field bred ESS, along with hunting and training my own dogs encouraged the beginning of Bean Sidhe Springers. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
I breed healthy, top-quality puppies for the
upland hunter or trial home.
I do not breed my dogs until they are fully health and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups.
I have also introduced Irish bred, IKC Registered rough shooting dogs to my lines that are noted for their ability to spend hours working in heavy cover.
I have love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are liver and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
