I'm Cheryl D., the breeder behind Shogun Spaniels located in Pottsville, PA. My goal is to produce a great representation of the English Springer Spaniel and continue improving the line with each generation. As a breeder, I feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for prior to joining their forever homes.
