I'm Tina R., the breeder behind Maple Hill English Springer Spaniels located in Deer Island, OR. My time working as a veterinary technician taught me that the puppy a family chooses to add to their family will forever change their family dynamic; for better or worse. A poorly bred puppy can grow up to become both a physical danger and financial drain for the family.
Q. & A. with Tina
Why did you start breeding?
The winding road of life led me to a five acre homestead in the mountains of Deer Island Oregon, about an hour North of Portland Oregon. After a lifetime of desiring to become involved with dog breeding, I finally found myself in the perfect place, at the perfect time to begin. My background in veterinary medicine and farm animal husbandry made for the perfect hobby.
What makes your program special?
The care we take in temperament testing and obtaining OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) x-rays and DNA clearances will insure families have healthy and safe dogs for life.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver white and tan, black 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.

We had a wonderful experience, you can really tell the effort Tina puts in to raising her puppies. Our puppy is healthy and just lovely all around!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
