Meet the breeder

I'm Stephen S., the breeder behind Maple Hollow Spinone Springwater NY located in Wayland, NY. We offer top-quality family dogs with an excellent temperament who can also hunt. Our dogs are family dogs; they live in our home. They are all fully health tested. I focus on a sweet and mellow temperament with attention to hunting and conformation.

Q. & A. with Stephen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is a most rewarding experience.
  • What makes your program special?

    I give special attention to temperament. It starts with mellow and easy-going parents and continues with lots of attention and human contact for the puppies. I focus on breeding dogs that have good bird drive but yet can be calm in the family setting.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
