Around 2013 I decided to breed a working line of Welsh Springer Spaniels.
And time has proven these dogs and their offspring in the field, working in obedience, scent work and agility. Companion dogs whilst tramping hiking or just good quality fun house dogs .
I imported Suzie from Sylvia Brackman in Australia.
Sherman and Jaz both came from Afonderi Kennels.
All 3 dogs have proven themselves in the field and accompany me most days at work, being an invaluable part of the team. They are enthusiastic and happy hunting all day, carrying out their work with great enthusiasm, drive and scenting ability. They are excellent retrievers from land and water.
After a days work they are more than happy to kick back and enjoy a fuss in the house with the family.
Going forward with my plan I will be using Sherman and Suzie in my breeding program.
Times move on, Jaz passed on.
From our 1st Suzie and Sherman breeding we kept back a female Tully (5 yr old) , I imported another male from Mycroft kennels Bongo fury (4 yr old). Bongo did join the growing list of c
Conservation dogs.
We have bred several litters, some have gone to sporting homes, active homes- tramping, hiking etc and obedience and agility and some as companions. All have fitted in well.
We did enter a show with the dogs once and all dogs entered(Tully,Suzie,Sherman) got placed in their classes. Its not quite our cup of tea but it was fun.
