Meet the breeder
I'm Nicole E., the breeder behind Hometown Springers located in Leipsic, OH. Our breeding program emphasizes health testing and quality genetics, with a focus on temperament, working skills, and training. Our dogs are excellent working dogs, and we are proud to continue their line. We breed both to provide families with loving and capable companions and to improve upon our dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.
Q. & A. with Nicole
Why did you start breeding?
Remi was our first ever ESS. Honestly when my fiancé suggested an ESS, I was not for it. I assumed they were just hunting dogs that we wouldn’t be able to take places. It wasn’t until we went to look at a puppy, and I fell in love with the Dam & Sire (And of course Remi). I truly don’t think I could go to a different breed. ESS are VERY loyal, smart, and compassionate dogs. Our two ESS are amazing in the field and are the biggest cuddles bugs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and liver, white and black, 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.
