Q. & A. with Kristen
Why did you start breeding?
I acquired my female 2 years ago, knowing we wanted to have a family litter to raise in our home. I paid close attention to finding a sire that is fully health tested with an excellent temperament, who is also beautiful in conformation.What makes your program special?
I am not a breeder, just an avid lover of Springer Spaniels who wants to raise puppies in the best possible way to ensure they are happy and healthy members of a family.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tri-roan, black white and tan, and liver white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Georgia is the sweetest girl. She is very people-focused and wants to be in the middle of the action, whether it be snuggling on the couch or on the trampoline with the kids. She is very smart and a natural hunter who is eager to please.
