I'm Susan A., the breeder behind DESK Springer Spaniels located in Casnovia, MI. Our dogs are raised as part of our family. Our children and now our grandchildren have found the joy and companionship that a springer brings them. We breed for excellent temperament, sound structure, health & beauty. Walk, jog, hunt or sit and watch TV. They just LOVE to be with you!
Q. & A. with Susan
Why did you start breeding?
When my husband and I were married he had a Springer called Dandy and he was just that. Growing up my father hunted with Brittney Spaniels, but I fell in love with the English Springer Spaniel “Dandy”. When our daughter was about 7 we went to look at a litter of liver/white puppies. Of course we both fell in love and she picked out “Curly Sue”, our first breeding dam. The rest is history.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver white and tan, liver and white, black white and tan, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

We highly recommend Susan as our breeder for our new English Springer Spaniel. She sent us pictures, all information about our puppy and was always available to us before and after our adoption. Our veterinarian has said that our puppy was well taken care of and we have kept in touch with Susan even after our puppy’s four month birthday. The entire experience could not have been better.
