I'm Helen C., the breeder behind Ladybug English Springers located in North Berwick, ME. I absolutely love the English Springer Spaniel breed. I have studied the breed for 42 years. I want to bring back healthy happy lines. That’s my goal as a Breeder!! I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy.
Q. & A. with Helen
Why did you start breeding?
I had a great teacher named Denise. Everything she did was always by love, by the medical book, and by education. I wish everybody could do that and I got into it because of her love and passion.
What makes your program special?
It’s special because it's my love and passion. I put everything into every puppy and every dog. I do not give up till it’s right .
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black white and tan, liver white and tan, liver and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
