Meet the breeder

I'm Heather R., the breeder behind Thunderbird Springers located in Florida. Our puppies are raised indoors, under constant care in a designated nursery in our house. We employ Early Neurological Stimulation, which is backed by scientific research, to promote stress tolerance and long term well-being. Deworming takes place bi-weekly at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. Neopar is given at 4 and 6 weeks. The puppies have a thorough exam at 8 weeks where they are evaluated, vaccinated, and given their health certificates. We microchip with Fi Nano which has a Life time membership. There is zero annual fees to keep your information in the database. Genetic health testing of both Parents ensures a health lineage, backed by a 2 year Genetic guarantee. Both parents have exceptional behavior and show easy trainability and an eagerness to please. Puppy training commences immediately, focusing on basic commands, socialization, potty training and kennel training. Our puppies are limited AKC registration unless discussed otherwise.

    We couldn’t be happier to have purchased a puppy from Thunderbird Springers. Our puppy is the sweetest, smartest, and most well behaved puppy. Heather was accommodating to meet for pickup and ensured great care of our boy until we received him. Very grateful for the pleasant experience.

  • Katie C.

    Verified owner · Sept. 2025

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Thunderbird springers. From the very first message, they were kind, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions with patience and made us feel completely confident throughout the entire process of bringing Reef home. If you are looking for a breeder who genuinely cares about their dogs and the families they go to, I cannot recommend them enough. We are so grateful for them and absolutely in love with our boy, Reef!
