I'm Erin H., the breeder behind muddy boots cocker spaniels and cockapoos located in Indiana. We have been breeding for about 10 years now. Our dogs are our family pets first. We put a lot of energy into raising puppies to ensure they grow up to be healthy, smart loving pets. Our puppies are raised indoors and well socialized with kids, noises and other dogs before leaving. We want to make sure they are confident and happy puppies when they go with their new families.

I have the most wonderful cocker spaniel puppy thanks in a large part to Erin at Sergeant Mastiffs/muddy boots. She is a healthy, well adjusted and happy little girl. She has been well socialized and loves everyone. I highly recommend these breeders for all the extra efforts they put into raising their dogs.
