I'm Karen F., the breeder behind Karen's English Springer Spaniels located in Kernville, CA. All dogs are health checked for hereditary problems with all vaccines and health screenings on schedule. Temperaments are of primary importance and are guaranteed. We are a small show kennel breeding puppies for the purpose of excelling in meeting the breed standard. These puppies are of the highest quality and we are well informed about the backgrounds of our lineage for multiple generations.
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
I started with our first family springer in 1974 and bred champion producing litters through the early nineties. Our recent litters are even more promising and absolutely guaranteed to be loving and healthy companions for you and your family.
What makes your program special?
Quality, quality, and more quality. Unfortunately, many health conditions are hereditary. These can be chronic, expensive and shorten the life of your beloved pet. Of course, not all health conditions can be predicted, but, we do our best to prevent unnecessary heartache and loss for those conditions which are foreseeable and preventable. We invest in the best, and so should you.
