Meet the breeder

I'm Kristi T., the breeder behind Cruisin Clumber Spaniels located in Richmond, VA. Our Clumbers are active, highly intelligent, loving companions that retain their natural instincts and abilities. Our litters are raised in home and are well socialized. We help select the right puppy for you and your family, keeping in mind your activity level and goals you have for your new puppy.

Q. & A. with Kristi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Seven years ago I drove to Edmonton Alberta Canada to pick up my puppy, Cruise. It was then that I realized I want to show him. It didn't take long for me to decide I wanted to be a preservation breeder.
  • What makes your program special?

    Every breeding is carefully planned years in advance. Health clearances are paramount. We're proud of our clearances, including AggieBelle's excellent hips. All clearances are available on OFA. You will see our dogs are CHIC certified meaning they have met all health tests that are required. Nothing's been overlooked. Socializing is as important; we enjoy preparing our puppies for their new homes.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
