I'm Rick & Mary P., the breeder behind MAR-Ric Springer Spaniels located in Auburn, WA. We are a family that strives to breed Springer's that are sound in temperament, structure, athleticism, and beauty. These attributes prepare them to become cherished companions and strong competitors. We have owned Springers for over 20 years. In 1998 we began competing in the Show Ring and had our first litter in 2002.
Q. & A. with Rick & Mary
Why did you start breeding?
Trixie, our foundation bitch, finished her a championship with 5 major wins as a young girl. She went on to become the top three Springer bitches in 2002 and 2003. She was Best Of Opposite Sex in both the ESSFTA and CKC National Specialties in 2002. She also won Award Of Merit at Westminster Kennel Club Show with many Best Of Breeds. Her first litter was 9 bitches we finished 7 out of 9 and on from there.
