Meet the breeder
I'm Susan S., the breeder behind Saracen English Cocker Spaniels & Irish Water Spaniels located in Menomonee Falls, WI. Bob and I have had and bred field dogs for over 35 years. We are passionate about hunting and competing with our dogs. We do not have a kennel as such; all puppies are raised in our home. English Cocker Spaniels are wonderful sweet little guys – the "merry cocker" around the house or in the field. They are biddable, eager to learn, natural bird finders, and the "pocket rocket" in the field. We imported our foundation girl, Elan Rosie, from the Elan Kennel in the UK. Bob handled her in trials and hunt tests here and she became FC Elan Rosie MH. When planning a litter, we continue to combine the English and American working English Cocker Spaniel lines. We are AKC Breeders of Merit. I have had Irish Water Spaniels for 45 years. Our dogs have excelled in all venues of competition – field, hunting, obedience, rally obedience, tracking, agility and conformation in addition to being wonderful family companions. They love their families and thrive in an environment where they are actively involved in family activities. When planning a litter, health, soundness, temperament, and working abilities are top priorities. Thus, we choose sires who have wonderful temperaments, excel in performance venues, are beautiful and conform to the breed standard. We are AKC Breeders of Merit.
Q. & A. with Susan
Why did you start breeding?
English Cocker Spaniels: The foundation of our breeding program is our lovely FC Elan Rosie MH from the famed Elan Cocker line in the UK. The breedings we have done have been to dogs out of Field Champion lines, to direct imports to the British lines or dogs from the British lines. We imported Rosie in 2002. She has been everything one could ask for in a family companion, hunting companion, trial and hunt test competitor. Irish Water Spaniels: the foundation of our program was a daughter of my first IWS - Ch Saracen Diamond in the Rough CD WC. We have carefully bred with an emphasis on health, temperament, natural field ability and conformation.What makes your program special?
Our dogs are tested in AKC field tests and all breeding stock has been cleared by OFA and CERF. We have litters occasionally. The pups are raised in our home, socialized and started with basic training as puppies. None of the dogs we keep are sent to be professionally trained. All are trained by Bob.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

+6Auggie, our English Cocker puppy, is the most amazing little guy. He’s everything we had hope for in a puppy and more. Auggie is already a part of the family. Working with Saracen’s was amazing-Susan made sure we were a good fit for Auggie and brought him with great care.
