Q. & A. with Clare
Why did you start breeding?
I bred first in 1980s after falling for this lovable & loyal breed. A lifelong animal lover, my passion is springers. Over 40 years I bred from time-to-time as work allowed and was active in springer rescue. I am never without at least 2 ESS. After a professional career, my dream was to retire and raise ESS. And here I am! My pups are my pride and joy and in high demand. References happily providedWhat makes your program special?
It is a great responsibility to raise outstanding bench AKC Springers, one I take seriously. My pups are smart, happy, healthy, and gorgeous. Sweet and lively temperment. Lifetime breeder support. Breeding pairs are health tested hip, elbows, eyes. Pups adapt well to new homes and love everyone. My springers are devoted, loyal, eager to learn and happy napping on the couch or romping outside.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
