Parent dogs
Oakley, mom
English Springer Spaniel
About Oakley
Oakley is a petite, sweet and attentive girl. She is energetic and obedient in the field, however, quickly seeks a lap in the family room. She runs in circles barking in anticipation of our morning runs ("hunts" to her). Then suddenly birds are flying out of the roadside ditches. Her bloodlines include our original lineage tracing back to Mandy out foundation dog through handsome Joey bastion as her father.
