For the Love of It....

We began breeding Springers because we had difficulty in finding a Springer in our area. We love this breed of dog and hope to pass along what you are looking for in a dog. We chose this breed because of their size, their beauty, intelligence, hunting abilities (both flushing abilities and water) as a family pets who is eager to please, etc.

Oprah has Springer Spaniels!

Breed Standard for the

Springer Spaniel

The English Springer Spaniel has been endowed with style, enthusiasm, and an "eager to please" quality common to most spaniels. He is recognized for his ability to keep going and going under adverse hunting conditions, which is partly due to his medium-sized, powerful body. He has long, hanging ears and a moderately long coat that can be black or liver with white, blue or liver roan, and tricolor.

Cheerful and affectionate, Springers love their families and like to stick close to their owners. They make excellent house pets, but require daily exercise and need regular brushing and trimming to keep their coats neat and free of mats.

Sporting Group; AKC recognized in 1910.

Average size: 40 to 50 pounds and 19 to 20 inches tall at the shoulder.

Gun dog, versatile competitor.

Breed Standard for the

German Shorthair Pointer

A versatile hunter and all-purpose gun dog, the German Shorthaired Pointer possesses keen scenting power and high intelligence. The breed is proficient with many different types of game and sport, including trailing, retrieving, and pointing pheasant, quail, grouse, waterfowl, raccoons, possum, and even deer. A medium-sized breed, he has an aristocratic bearing and can be solid liver or liver and white in color.

The German Shorthaired Pointer thrives as part of an active family. He is an even-tempered, intelligent and loyal family watchdog that has enthusiasm for its work. An athlete, he can adapt to his living situation, but requires consistent exercise. The GSP's short coat sheds, but grooming is minimal.

Quality Breeding, Quality Standards

AKC Registration VS APR?

To ensure the quality of your pet and the

integrity of the breeder.

"There is no significance to an APR-registered puppy. Although the organization states that its registry is for purebred dogs only, it requires no proof that the dog being registered is in fact a purebred. Anyone can register a dog merely by sending in the registration fee and a form on which their signature alone certifies that the dog is in fact a purebred."
