Q. & A. with Dawn

Why did you start breeding?
I am purposeful in everything that I do regarding my dogs, which includes careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. My goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments, working drives, and conformation that are exemplary representations of the breed.
What makes your program special?
I am a professional handler of Cocker Spaniels. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Cocker Spaniel line. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
