My wait list is always a year out. I encourage those waiting for a puppy to get your home ready and the time available for the transition.
* Get training materials and/or interview
trainers.
* I have my training videos available.
Will be working on more with the new
litter this Fall.
* Puppy proof your house and yard.
* If you have vacation time coming this is the
time to use it.
* Interview vets if you don't currently have
one.
* If you work 8 hrs, interview puppy day cares
or someone reliable to let the puppy out
during the day.
The more you are ready, the easier the transition for all!
I am working on a litter this Spring 23 with Isabella (check out her pics and videos in My Girls page). Contact me for any availability from this litter. I have a waitlist started. This litter will be mostly tri colored. My puppies are raised in my home, they are litter box trained, potty trained, and I use PUPPY CULTURE, so puppies are exposed to many sounds, smells, toys, stimulations, and age appropriate agility equipment to build confidence and core strength.
Puppies are handled and played with daily by me and my grandkids.
We do beginning obedience/agility/manners training as well as kennel training beginning at 6 weeks. We begin litterbox training at 2-3 weeks. **You are not considered on my waitlist until I have received the puppy deposit contract and deposit. My goal at Springers Of Oz is to provide versatile, well rounded family members and make the transition as easy on everyone as I can, especially the puppy.
Remember a puppy takes a lot of work and training from the beginning, Its 12 months of a baby at first, and a 10-17 yr commitment. However the rewards are so worth it. PLEASE think before you buy.

DON'T BUY A SPRINGER IF YOU ARE UNWILLING TO SHARE YOUR HOUSE AND YOUR LIFE WITH YOUR DOG.
Originally bred as hunting dogs that work alongside their owner in the field, Springers need to be part of the family, rather than being an outdoor dog. They thrive on companionship and they want to be wherever you are. They are happiest living with you in your house and going with you when you go out. While they usually tolerate being left at home by themselves. A puppy exiled from the house is likely to grow up to be unsociable (fearful and/or unprovokedly aggressive), unruly, and unhappy. He may well develop pastimes, such as digging or barking, that will displease you and/or your neighbors. An adult so exiled will be miserable too.
If you don't strongly prefer to have your dog's companionship as much as possible, enjoying having him sleep in your bedroom at night and sharing many of your activities by day, you should choose a breed less oriented to human companionship. Likewise if your job or other obligations prevent you from spending much time with your dog. No dog is really happy without companionship but the pack hounds are more tolerant of being kenneled or yarded so long as it is in groups of 2 or more. A better choice would be a cat, as they are solitary by nature.
DON'T BUY A SPRINGER IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO COMMIT YOURSELF FOR THE DOG'S ENTIRE LIFETIME.
No dog deserves to be cast out because his owners want to move to a no-pet apartment or because he is no longer a cute puppy or didn't grow up to be a beauty contest winner or because his owners through lack of leadership and training have allowed him to become an unruly juvenile delinquent with a repertoire of undesirable behaviors.
The prospects of a responsible and affectionate second home for a "used" dog are never very bright, but they are especially dim for a shaggy, poorly mannered dog.
Be sure to contact your breeder or local English Springer Spaniel club if you are beginning to have difficulties in training your Springer so these can be resolved. Be sure to make arrangements in your will or with your family to ensure continued care or adoptive home for your Springer if you should pre-decease him.
The life span of a Springer is from 10 to 15 years. If that seems too long a time for you to give an unequivocal loyalty to your Springer, then please do not get one! Indeed, as most dogs have a life expectancy that is as long or longer, please do not get any dog!
