Meet the breeder

I'm Katherine T., the breeder behind Brass Lite Sussex located in Middleport, NY. I offer top-quality Sussex Spaniel puppies for families who share the same love and passion I do for these lovely companions. I strive to produce quality puppies for families that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive and have wonderful temperaments. I look forward to connecting you with your new pup! I have shown at some of the biggest dog shows: Westminster, our Nationals, AKC National Championship just to name a few. I have shown my own dogs and used a handler I believe is health screening, to try to give my puppies the best start at a health life. My dogs are rasied in a house setting. Pat Trotter says, “Not all pets are show dogs but I can assure you that all show dogs are pets.”.
