Q. & A. with Susan
Why did you start breeding?
Susan started breeding and showing Golden Retrievers in the 80’s. My first Golden was a Best in Show winner. In the 90’s my daughter was given a Springer puppy and she changed our world! We love Springers and are passionate about breeding beautiful, healthy, and sound-of-mind dogs. Melissa Thorson joined the team 12 years ago and is an integral contributor to training, showing, and raising puppies.
What makes your program special?
We believe in breeding to the English Springer Spaniel standard. While we are very active in showing dogs and have bred 60-plus champions, our goal is to breed healthy, beautiful, and sane pets! Foxboro dogs are active in obedience, agility, therapy, and hunting (I don’t promise they hunt. I’ve been proved wrong!) We stand by every dog that is produced here and offer lifetime breeder support.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver and white and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
