I'm Jana B., the breeder behind Sylvan Acres Spaniels located in Lily, WI. Our dog parents have either a AKC DNA test done or an Embark DNA test. Our goal is to breed healthy, happy, breed standard dogs. Our goal is to place every puppy in an amazing family where they will be pampered. We make sure our pups are worked, have first vaccine and vet checked before they go to their new homes. We also offer a health guarantee.
Q. & A. with Jana
Why did you start breeding?
We absolutely love the breed and we really enjoy having puppies in our home. We wanted to share these awesome dogs with others and provide a high-quality animal that would fit in with your family.
What makes your program special?
After Watching friends and family obtain animals from large kennels and seeing their negative experience of puppies that never were in a house, never were on grass, and not socialized. Well, we figured we could do it better. So we raise our puppies in our home with the help of our sons. Our puppies are taken outside multiple times a day and kept inside our home. We litter box train our litters to help them learn where to potty. We do a lot of work to expose them to different sounds and situations before they go to their new homes. But most of all we play with them and love on them and cuddle them every single day.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and white, buff and white, brown and white, and black white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
