"If you can dream it, you can do it." -Walt Disney
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 Dalmations, 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 our responsibility
to do our very best in producing dogs that represent the breed
standard in type and soundness. All breeding stock will have hips
X-rayed and sent to OFA, or if necessary, a pre-lim done and evaluated
when just under age two, 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
temperment, easy to train, that are healthy, 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". Breeding ocassionally, we offer
home-raised puppies for companion and show homes. A former Kindergarten
teacher of 25 years, I am now a "stay-at-home-mom" to
our nine Field Spaniels. They
continue to bring us great joy and provide unconditional love.
Their canine antics bring us laughter day after day! You are invited
to meet us, and our canine family members both past and present............
