I'm Bonnie J M., the breeder behind Sanchi located in Sumerfield, FL. Thank you for visiting Sanchi. This somewhat unusual breed is such a joy to live with, I hope to introduce more people to the delights of the English Toy Spaniel. Of course, they are not for everyone, but for many who meet this merry little dog, they are smitten.
