Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding to continue my phenomenal, champion bloodlines in an effort to provide other families with loving, healthy, and happy Welsh Springer Spaniel puppies. I understand the importance of dog health, temperament, and structure, and every breeding decision is made accordingly.What makes your program special?
My stud dog is an excellent representation of the breed. I enjoy supplying him to other responsible breeders to produce excellent show prospects, maintain superior standards, and improve the Welsh Springer Spaniel lines overall. Many of my dogs have become excellent show prospects and champions; all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
