English Springer Spaniels
Welcome to the website for ESSpecial English Springer Spaniels.
We have included around twenty-five of our champions with links to some of their offspring. These dogs wonderfully represent our breeding program and have all been included because of their quality of conformation, overall health and temperament. We like to think these dogs have a common "look" about them and are very proud to see their relatives and offspring in the dog community across the country who share that.
I purchased my first show dog in 1985. More than twenty-five years have flown by resulting in many litters and over fifty champions. A/C Champion Tiffany's Moonlite ESSpecial, "Maddie", my foundation bitch, was in Robin Novack's first litter. Robin was a 17 year old with few credentials other than a wonderful bitch with a priceless prefix: Ch. Loujon Elegance. Robin and I have grown up together: she as a professional handler and I as an owner handler; both of us as dog breeders. Our friendship has survived the tolls because we have the same fundamental goals and expectations. We love this breed and hope to preserve the quality bestowed
upon us by our foundation.
From that foundation of a National Winner's Bitch who produced a National Winner's Dog from her first litter, it would seem I've had a charmed "dog life." I credit tremendous good fortune, but I have also been very selective about the dogs I have kept and even more so about the ones I have bred. I do not breed dogs simply because of their pedigree. I will not breed to dogs with whom I have not had personal interaction and knowledge and I will not breed any dog or bitch that does not possess unquestionable springer character and overall health. I have worked hard to learn to trim, condition and present my dog respectably and I have made some very difficult decisions regarding dogs that I needed to place in loving homes. I will only utilize a dog or bitch if it possesses the qualities I feel are needed to better my program. In terms of health and temperament: there is no compromise. I sleep well in the belief that I am doing my utmost to produce springers that will enrich people's lives. That they enrich my life tenfold is just icing on the cake.
We are all looking for the same dog: happy, healthy, sane and sweet.
As long as that description fits dogs with the ESSpecial prefix, I will proudly call myself a dog breeder.
