I'm Sharon K., the breeder behind Beekauz Kennel located in Farmington, IL. My program is built upon a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for the Boykin Spaniel and the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. I offer quality pups from Champion lines. I am home to the first Boykin Spaniel to earn BOTH an AKC Championship and an AKC Master Hunter title. I am also home to the first Gold Grand Champion NSDTR female in the history of the breed! I am passionate about my dogs and what I look to achieve as a breeder.
Q. & A. with Sharon
Why did you start breeding?
I am dedicated to continuing my exceptional, award-winning bloodlines in an effort to ensure the healthy progression of these beloved breeds. My priority is quality over quantity, and I dedicate my time, attention, and efforts to each litter to ensure they get the best start in life.
What makes your program special?
I am a premier breeder of Boykin Spaniels and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers. I do not breed my dogs unless they are healthy and are excellent representations of the breed standard. Many of my dogs have become excellent show prospects, hunting companions, and champions, but all of them have become loving family dogs and lifelong friends!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Boykin Spaniel puppies are chocolate. Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
