I'm Bobbie and Ron G., the breeder behind Braith Welsh Springer Spaniels located in Bellelfontaine, OH. We are passionate about the health and well being of our Welsh Springers. They are born and raised in our home. The goal we set and which we believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog.
Q. & A. with Bobbie and Ron
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding by falling in love and my husband who had shown ponies in his youth wanted to show the Welsh Springer Spaniel.
What makes your program special?
We would like to think of the extensive socializing that we try to do before our pups ever go to a new home! It takes a lot of time and energy and its worth it. We put our heart and soul into it!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
