About our Breeding Program

Raising our AWS

• Our family is always active in Dog Training & Canine Enrichment.  Which includes obedience, field work, nose work, conformation & Spaniel Hunt Tests.
• Puppies will be raised in our home.
• Pups will have early socialization with other family dogs, adults and children that come to visit.  Several acres of fenced in land to explore and enjoy. With hills, valleys, low cover, high cover and lots of room to run, Our property is a paradise for the dogs!
• We will conduct careful evaluations and observations of puppy temperament and personality to best match each puppy to the right home. 
• Puppies will be ready for their new home at 8 weeks of age.
• The dogs have the benefit of Sandy’s 20 years experience in the field of Veterinary Emergency Medicine.  Including technical skills, continuing education courses in canine veterinary medicine, canine behavior and breeding programs. 
• Mike & Sandy are active members of the Great Lakes American Water Spaniel Club.  Sandy is the Club Secretary.
