I will be having a litter around Oct 14, 2019. This litter is already spoken for. Contact me for upcoming litters. To be considered for one of my puppies fill out my Puppy Questionnaire, If you filled out my Puppy Questionnaire and I don't get back to you within 24 hrs check to make sure you provided your contact info.
I have 1-2 litters a year. It is a full time job during the 2-3 months I'm preparing them for their new homes. The first 2 weeks I monitor the puppies and momma for any post birth problems and while puppies are acclimating to life outside the womb. This is the most stressful time. From 3-8 weeks I am spending 24/7 litter box, and potty training. I also begin small agility training to build core strength and confidence. I introduce them to different sounds and textures so they will be confident competition dogs as well as great all around family members! All this time I spend with these wonderful babies makes my heart hurt to tell them goodbye. Be prepared to love them as much as I do and continue their training.
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!
