Meet the breeder

I'm Linda S., the breeder behind River’s Edge ~ AKC English Springer Spaniels located in Blytheville, AR. Our mission is to provide loving families with quality, healthy, happy puppies with amazing temperaments and a variety of colors/markings. Our goal is to match each family with the right puppy to ensure a lifelong relationship and to continue support in all aspects of the puppy's future.

Q. & A. with Linda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My father bred Beagles when I was growing up on their farm. Being the oldest of the daughters, I became his assistant in taking care of the puppies until they became of age or were done being trained to hunt. Every litter was an amazing experience, and I developed skills that never left me - nor did the passion. After buying our first ESS for our son for Christmas, I fell madly in love! ❤️❤️❤️
  • What makes your program special?

    Our family members are all dog lovers and work as a unit to care for our dogs and puppies. Our puppies are well socialized to enable easier transitions to their new families. I also train all of my puppies in the basic commands (Come, Sit, and Lay Down), and provide them with maximum exposure to potty training. We use Puppy Culture techniques that provide a wide range of benefits.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include liver white and roan, red and white, white and liver, white and black, liver white and tan, liver and white, black and white, and black white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
