Frequently Asked Questions

English Springer Spaniels diverge into two distinct lines. We breed exclusively Bench (Show) conformation Springers. Bench Springers have luxurious feathered coats, a classic square body frame, and a gentle, balanced temperament that thrives as a household family pet. Field Springers have short, coarse coats and an intense working hunt drive requiring rigorous daily field trials.

Yes, exceptionally so! English Springer Spaniels are famously patient, empathetic, and playful with children. They have a natural desire to be part of the pack and typically get along wonderfully with other dogs and cats when properly socialized.

As a sporting breed, adult Springers need about 45 to 60 minutes of daily physical activity—such as brisk neighborhood walks, outdoor games of fetch, or trail hiking—alongside mental stimulation like puzzle toys or scent games. Inside the home, bench-line Springers have a wonderful 'off-switch' and love to relax at your feet.

They earn this affectionate nickname because they form intense, loving attachments to their humans. They love following family members from room to room and resting their heads upon your lap. They thrive when included in daily household life.

Both our sires and dams complete rigorous orthopedic and genetic screenings before breeding: OFA Hip Dysplasia, OFA Elbows, CAER Eye Clearances (annual board-certified ophthalmologist evaluation), and clear genetic panels for Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA-cord1) and Phosphofructokinase Deficiency (PFK). Documentation is provided to adoptive families.

Our contract covers any life-altering or congenital genetic disorders for 24 months. If a covered congenital health issue arises, we provide a replacement puppy or refund according to our written adoption contract terms.

Puppies receive a comprehensive physical examination by a licensed veterinarian, age-appropriate core vaccinations, deworming at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, and an ISO-compliant microchip. Families receive complete health records signed by our clinic.

A reservation deposit of $500 secures your place in our selection queue upon application approval. The deposit is non-refundable, but it is 100% transferable to any future litter if your preferred gender, color, or timing is not met. The standard adoption fee is $900.

Puppy selection occurs when puppies reach 6 weeks of age, conducted in the exact order deposits were received. By 6 weeks, physical markings and individual temperaments are clearly defined. We support both in-person visits and virtual selection via detailed video and phone consultations.

For adopters who cannot travel to pick up their puppy in person, we arrange for a licensed flight nanny to carry the puppy in-cabin under their airplane seat. The nanny monitors, feeds, and cuddles the puppy throughout the journey and hands them directly to you at your airport's arrivals terminal. We never ship puppies as cargo.
