Q. & A. with Mary Ann
Why did you start breeding?
We started breeding Shelties 14 years ago. Through help from great Sheltie mentors our puppies have competed successfully in the show ring and performance sports. We added our European line of English Springer Spaniels 4 years ago, because I grew up with “Bird Dogs” and never lost my love for my first childhood friends.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are pets first, and part of our family. All puppies are born in my living room and live inside with us. We start socializing our babies from the beginning and focus on breeding for intelligence in addition to show standards. We have a new outdoor facility for them to enjoy as well, which includes play equipment and lots of green grass. Our breeding dogs are health tested for breed specific diseases before breeding.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Shetland Sheepdog puppies include sable merle and white, sable and white, blue merle white and tan, blue merle and white, black and white, and black white and tan. English Springer Spaniel puppies are liver and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Two Hills Springers reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for English Springer Spaniels.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
