For the past 20 years we have shared our home and, more importantly, our lives with English Springer Spaniels and Field Spaniels. Growing up with Dalmatians, my first Sporting dog was an Irish Setter in the 1970's. My husband and I began our search for a spaniel in the early 1980's and our attention was focused on ESS for many years. No longer actively breeding/showing ESS, our primary interest now is the Field Spaniel.
As true dog lovers, and as breeders, we feel it is our responsibility to do our very best in producing dogs that represent the breed standard in type, soundness and most important, temperament. All breeding stock will have necessary health requirements. Hips are x-rayed for evaluation, thyroid testing done at the Diagnostic Services Lab at Michigan State, all eyes checked by a Board Certified Veterinarian Ophthalmologist, and hearts are checked by a certified Veterinarian Cardiologist. Copies of these exam results are provided for our puppy buyers. In addition, puppies will have their eyes examined by a Board Certified Vet Ophthalmologist at 8 weeks and will have at least one of the series of puppy vaccines prior to being placed in their new homes. For more information, please check our site under "Puppies". Dogs that are of good temperament, easy to train, and loving companions are a pleasure to live with and this is our goal at Promenade.
I have trained dogs in obedience, agility, exhibited in conformation, taught conformation classes and had two ESS in the mid 80's who were "therapy dogs". My husband and I are members of the Field Spaniel Society of America and a member for over 20 years of Queen City Dog Training Club in Cincinnati, Ohio. We breed occasionally for companion and show homes. You are invited to meet us, and our canine family members both past and present............
