I'm Shirley M., the breeder behind Sundance Family Springers located in Apple Valley, CA. I breed healthy, beautiful puppies. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes. My dogs are bred for those specifics, and I take pride in my breeding program. It would be my pleasure to introduce your family to your next forever companion!
