What people don't know about Springers (and surprised us as well) is that they are really wonderful, calm, mannerly pets in the house.  Sidney is our dual purpose "hunting Housedog" and we wouldn't trade anything for the love and affection and companionship we enjoy year-around 24/7.

Dear Jen,

The male Springer Spaniel I purchased from you in 2001 (Gunner-6/25/01) is approaching 8 years old, which leads me to think it's time to start grooming his successor.  I would be interested in a liver and white male, or female, and would prefer a smaller dog.  Gunner is by far the best hunting dog I have owned and is a natural upland hunter.  He works close, has a great nose, retrieves wonderfully and is an absolute joy to be around, both in the field and in the home.

Hi Jen,

I should have written you sooner but better late than never.  Dan and I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our Abbey.  We couldn't have picked a better friend. She is 2 1/2 (DOB:March 21, 2006) now and just the most beautiful dog and the greatest companion.  She has been exceptionally easy to train and has an incredible amount of energy.  Our entire extended family and an occasional doggie day care always makes comments on how well behaved she is. She not only knows how to hunt but she can do several just fun tricks like play dead and roll over. As for me, it was one of the best decisions I have made.  I am enjoying being a first time puppy parent! I have to admit she was a handful for the first year but oh so worth it.  She is so good with the neighborhood kids as well as the family young'ns and she lives to play ball.  I think she would run until her heart exploded.

Ginger has been going to "college" in Kansas, and Scott entered her in the field trials and she made Nationals.  She is just phenomenal!!!  On the last hunting trip to Kansas, Josie retrieved a bird a quarter of a mile out that everyone thought was gone.  All of a sudden everybody saw this black and white dog come back up over the rise with a bird in her mouth, and was totally in awe of Josie (who is also the sweetest, best dog, and when not hunting is a true "hearth" dog).

Hi Jen,
Jazzy and I had a great opening season. This is Jazzy with the first rooster she found and I shot and she retrieved. The rooster fell in the creek we were hunting and she made a great water retrieve. She has been a great pet and hunting dog. We have really enjoyed her. She is great with my two kids. The training that Terry did sunk in. She is the only dog that I have hunted behind that starts hunting as soon as she gets on the ground. No messing around, just hunting, and hunting well. I would like to thank you for a fine hunting and house companion.
Thank You
Nate
