Q. & A. with Kimberly
Why did you start breeding?
My husband first found Beaux (our male Boykin) in 2020. I asked him for a smaller dog; We’ve always had Golden Retrievers and I did not want another Golden and he did not want a small yappy dog. We found a sweet breeder and got Beaux. He was perfect in every way; Smart, loving, loyal, and trained quickly. A year later I just had to have another Boykin and we found Kenzi. She is my Emotional Support Service Dog. There is documentation and training required for this. My husband, Scott, had always wanted an English Springer Spaniel and I decided to surprise him with one for our 20th anniversary. He was born on President’s Day so Lincoln it was. We were hooked on both breeds. They are very similar and yet very different just depending on what you are looking for. Each personality of our dog’s has been so different. Scott and I had talked about breeding, I had spoken with my vet and the research process had begun. I wanted to become a small hobby breeder and it wasn’t until I met our next breeder that I truly understood the full big picture. I had done research but it was just the tip of the iceberg. My commitment to my dogs will always be my first priority and then to bettering the breed and raising incredible puppies. It is my goal to provide you with a high quality, health tested, intelligent, well-tempered, good looking English Springers and Boykin SpanielsWhat makes your program special?
We will not have any litters for a few years. Our health testing is very important and that our dogs will have their OFA's completed my mentor has taught me that. We want to be a breeder that encourages other breeders and influences people through our puppies because of the impact a puppy/dog can have in your life.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Boykin Spaniel puppies are chocolate. English Springer Spaniel puppies include tri-roan, liver white and roan, white and black, black and white, red and white, liver white and tan, and black white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
