Charli (formerly Harmony) easily assimilated to her new life due to the care and preparation from SarMel. The health, temperament, and social skills were evident and Charli is exactly why we wanted another English Springer Spaniel. We couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish and getting another dog from this process would be welcome.

Sara from Saranel was great. Her response to questions and provision of important information was perfect. And we love Guinevere (aka Henrietta! She is a wonderful addition to our family and is settling in wonderfully.

I have purchased a springer spaniel from Sara before and still have him. I decided to get him a little playmate. We have had him for two weeks now and our older dog loves him. They are having a great time playing and sleeping together.
We are very grateful Sara has such wonderful dogs and recommend her highly.

Sara’s responsiveness was so helpful in our family getting our perfect puppy Darla (Harlow). She made the process stress free and answered all our questions about vaccinations. Highly recommend using Sara!

Maverick’s aka Harvest boundless spirit is a testament to the love and care of his breeder, Sara. She created an environment where health, temperament, and socialization weren’t just priorities—they were a passion. Her warmth, deep knowledge of the breed, and prompt communication made the entire process seamless. From the moment Maverick arrived, it was clear he wasn’t just a pup; he was a bundle of joy, confidence, and affection, ready to fill every corner of life with light and love.
Maverick perfectly embodies the essence of an English Springer Spaniel—brimming with the adventurous heart of an explorer and the carefree spirit of an autumn breeze. Wild, free, and full of life, he’s already living up to his name. True to his Virgo roots, he’s loyal, precise (he never misses treat time!), and just enough of a perfectionist to make training a breeze. I wouldn’t be surprised if he masters “sit” and “stay” faster than you can say “chew toy.”
Good Dog made this incredible journey possible. Their expert guidance and exceptional service turned what could have been overwhelming into an experience of trust and ease. From connecting me with a top-notch breeder to ensuring every detail was handled flawlessly, they set a new standard for excellence. Thanks to Good Dog, I found the perfect match in Maverick—a testament to their commitment to creating connections that truly matter.

What a joy to have this little girl in our home. She is so smart, quick to learn, and anxious to please. Annie is quite social with our neighbors and other dogs. She loves to run!
