English Springer Spaniels, bred for temperament and health.
Our litters grow up in the heart of Knowlton, in the Eastern Townships. Temperament observed from birth, health tested in both parents, and a puppy who already knows family life by the time it comes home.
A club, not a puppy mill.
The word "club" isn't just for show. We never produce more than two or three litters a year — the bare minimum needed to know every puppy by name, handle it daily, and know, at placement time, exactly which family it truly belongs with.
Our breeding dogs live with us, at home, year-round. They aren't production tools — they're our dogs, chosen for temperament as much as titles, and they retire right here once their careers are done.

What never changes, litter after litter.
They apply to every litter we breed, no exceptions and no upcharge.
Health tested before every litter
Hips and elbows evaluated (OFA), an annual eye exam, and a DNA panel for conditions known in the breed. You receive the certificates — not a summary.
Home socialization
Daily handling from birth, gradual exposure to noise, children, other dogs. A well-balanced springer doesn't happen by accident.
Lifelong support, like a club member
We stay reachable long after your puppy goes home. And if you can ever no longer keep your dog, it comes back to us — always, at any age.
Why the English Springer Spaniel?
Joyful, athletic and hopelessly devoted to its family, the Springer Spaniel is famous for a tail that never stops. It's a medium-sized dog, easy to train, equally at home earning obedience titles or keeping pace on a morning run.
It needs real daily exercise — this isn't a backyard-only breed — and regular care for those floppy ears, which are prone to infection if neglected. We're upfront about both with every family before any reservation.
From your first question to coming home.
You write to us
Tell us about your household: children, other pets, lifestyle, experience with sporting breeds. We reply within one to two days, honestly.
Meet us at the kennel
Visit by appointment in Knowlton, even before a litter is born. You'll meet the parents and see where the puppies grow up.
Reservation and matching
A $500 deposit confirms your spot. Puppy-to-family matching happens around week six, based on observed temperament.
Going home at eight weeks
Vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, examined by our veterinarian, with CKC papers and a blanket that smells like its litter.
A litter is expected this fall.
Our puppies almost always find homes before they're born. If an English Springer Spaniel is on your mind for this year, now is a good time to write — even without a firm plan yet.
