    We absolutely fell in love with Arthur the moment we heard his story! From the very beginning, David and his family were incredible to work with! He was always communicative, kept us updated on Arthur every step of the way, and was quick to respond whenever we had questions. When we picked Arthur up, David even sent us home with a thoughtful puppy starter kit that had everything we needed to help Arthur settle into his new home! That kindness meant so much to us! We are forever grateful to David and his family for trusting us with this sweet little boy. Arthur has already brought so much joy into our lives, and we couldn’t imagine our family without him! ❤️ We would wholeheartedly recommend David to anyone looking for a cocker spaniel! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to love this precious pup!😊❤️

    Omg I love my puppy and he’s a great addition to my fur family. David went above and beyond helping me with the whole process as far as taking the steps in getting a puppy, he is very prompt and professional when answering my questions and he send videos and pictures from the day my Oscar was born until I brought him home. Please if you are wanting a puppy, I truly recommend David, you will not be disappointed.

    My experience with David and his wife was truly a 10 out of 10. From the very beginning, they were kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. They kept me updated every step of the way by sending pictures and videos, which made the wait for my puppy so much more exciting. They were always happy to answer any questions I had and made the entire process feel smooth and stress free. Even after I brought my puppy home, they continued to be supportive and transparent, which I really appreciated. I absolutely love my sweet boy, and I’m so thankful I chose them as my breeder. I would recommend David and his wife to anyone looking for a healthy, well cared for puppy from breeders who genuinely care about their dogs and the families they go to. If I ever decide to add another dog to my family in the future, I would definitely come back to them again. Thank you both for everything!

    We purchased Bonnie from David F. On April 12. Bonnie’s first day with us was in an Airbnb. Then the long drive home. She behaved pretty well for a little eight week old puppy. Now, at 10 weeks of age, she is almost house trained, and has learned to ask to go out. We are working with her to learn basics, starting with “sit “and “no bite”. Anywhere I take her, she is admired by everyone who sees her.

    From the very first conversation, it was clear that David is not just a breeder — he’s someone who genuinely loves these dogs and takes tremendous pride in where they go. When he offered to personally drive all the way from South Carolina to Rhode Island to deliver our new Cocker Spaniel, we were honestly blown away. That kind of dedication tells you everything you need to know about the man. What made the experience even more special was how communicative he was throughout the entire trip. He kept us updated every step of the way, and never once made us feel like our questions were too much. He was warm, patient, and genuinely happy to talk — about the puppy, about the breed, about anything we wanted to know. You never felt like you were bothering him. When David arrived and we finally met our new pup, it was obvious the dog had been loved and well cared for. Healthy, happy, and socialized — exactly what you hope for. If you’re looking for a Cocker Spaniel from someone who truly cares about the breed and the families they go to, look no further. David at Hartwell Cocker Spaniel Kennel is the real deal. We are so grateful for the whole experience and absolutely in love with our new family member. Thank you, David! 🐾
