Q. & A. with Maryellen
Why did you start breeding?
Our love for English Springer Spaniels and their intelligent, affectionate nature inspired us to expand the breed in a responsible way. Our dogs have brought us so much joy and happiness that we wanted to give back to them by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families.
What makes your program special?
We are passionate about English Springer Spaniels, and our love for these dogs shines through in every aspect of our breeding program. Our dogs and puppies are raised in our home and are loved as family. We focus on temperament, structure, and health, including genetic testing and testing for hips, elbows, and eyes. We work with passion, heart, and integrity, and we truly want what's best for our puppies and their forever families.
