Our Story

Our breeding dogs (and their puppies) enjoy a very comfortable life on our farm where we live and breed our Welsh Springer Spaniels. We have had many dogs over the years including our loving Blue Heeler. We decided that as we go forward in life we wanted to do something together as a couple and to do something that involved our shared love of animals. We reached a conclusion to breed dogs.

After much research on many different types of dog breeds we chose the Welsh Springer Spaniels for a few different reasons:

• The dogs are beautiful both in colour and in their nature
• The Welsh Springer Spaniels are less hyper and more sensitive compared to the English Springer Spaniel
• The Welsh Springer Spaniel breed is still somewhat uncommon in North America, particularly out west where we live
• Welsh Springer Spaniel dogs are fun-loving
• Welshies are most happy when they please their owners and make for loyal companions
• The dogs are friendly with and among children
• Welsh Springer Spaniels can make for a good show dog or working dog
• They excel in training and learning new commands

It is for all these reasons and more that we decided to breed the Welsh Springer Spaniels. Finding a quality male and female(s) to breed was not so easy. We ended up traveling to the U.S. to find the dogs we now use for breeding. The first litter produced a tremendous group of puppies who all found great homes and we still stay in contact with most of the families who bought a puppy from us. In fact have a look around the website to read about some of the happy owners who decided to buy a Welsh Springer Spaniel from our kennel.
