I'm Dana F., the breeder behind Maplefox’s Cocker Spaniels located in Tappahannock, VA. We’re hobby breeders looking for individuals and families that will continue to love and spoil our puppies as much as we do! The foundation of our breeding program starts with raising healthy and well-loved dogs. We aim to pass the same happiness of owning a quality-bred dog to our buyers.
Q. & A. with Dana
Why did you start breeding?
My parents bred GSDs while I was growing up. I fell in love with ACSs when I first watched Lady and the Tramp. I got my first Cocker Spaniel 37 years ago.
What makes your program special?
We take time to socialize our puppies with people of all different ages. Our puppies are exposed to larger dogs, cats, and chickens. We make certain they are exposed to all types of household sounds so they are not easily scared.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are buff. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We had a great experience with Dana from Maplefox Cocker Spaniels. Communication was great and everything went smoothly. We can tell she really cared for the litter and we couldn’t be happier with our puppies.

Dana was responsive and helpful. She was patient until
We can back from Europe and even drive a little closer so our 9 hour drive would be cut short . I will definitely be a repeat customer as we decide to expand our family. Milo has settled in well, he is the sweetest most loving puppy with zero aggressions .

Hi, I had a great experience with Maplefox Cockers! The puppy is absolutely precious, healthy and just a total joy! Donna was very easy to coordinate with and clearly takes great care of the puppies. I would get another puppy from them for sure! Five stars all around!

Okay, It's been about a month and I'm over due with saying Thank you to Dana and the MapleFox family! After following MapleFox's Good Dog and FaceBook sites over the past year, I sensed there was more than just the breeding of puppies for sale. The close attention and loving atmosphere at MapleFox give their pups the best training for the transition to new owner(s)/families.
What have we been doing this past month? Enjoying every minute of the day and night with our new pup-Lucy! Not having a young pup in the house for 15 years, we had forgotten just how much fun we would be in for. Thanks again Dana!
