Prefix : STRAITSWILL (English Springer Spaniel)
Straitswill Springer Spaniels is a small kennel located at Reekara, King Island.
The breeding of my girls initially came from Rachel Greaves of Wrangham Springer Spaniels. Over time, sires have included Glastonpark Teddy, Schulwey Barkley, Wrangham Big Wig and Wentloodge Rebel Yel. I only source top hunting Pedigree Dogs for my girls.
The combination of the sires with my girls has brought out their natural hunting ability which is my primary aim - to breed top hunting Springers. All my girls excel in the hunting of ducks and pheasants, which are the only game available for hunting on King Island.
They have all proven to be excellent mothers, they are loving with gentle natures and whenever I have a litter many children, including my grandchildren visit and play with the pups. The mothers have never shown any aggression towards unknown visitors to the pups.
My pups have also proven to be good pets. But you must be mindful, Springers need a lot of exercise, space to run, places to swim and things to generally excite their intelligence.
I kept a female from Pipers last litter, Lucy, just about to turn 1. Lucy came Pheasant Shooting with me on the June Long Weekend, and I was very impressed with her hunting ability. She is also very gentle, loves the grandchildren and often snuggles up with them on the couch.
