Located just minutes south of Augusta, our dogs are raised on 60 acres of field, woods and bog. Our dogs are bred for outstanding looks and a temperment the whole family will love. All puppies have had their first two puppy vaccines, been wormed, and come with their AKC registration application, as well as a Written Health Guarantee. Babies get plenty of love and attention daily and are well socialized. There is nothing better than a puppy that has been born and raised in the house and underfoot!
These parents are beautiful and loving. A real pleasure to be around. They have tons of feathering and laid-back personalities. These exceptional dogs have all the fine qualities of the show-ring Springer as well as the ideal family companion.
Please understand that sometimes puppies go very quickly. Unless I have a deposit, I cannot hold a puppy. Picking out a puppy or putting down deposits to hold/pick out a puppy is on a first-come first-served basis. I do accept personal checks and they can be mailed to me with a note with your name, address, phone#, email address and preferance of color/sex of puppy. Deposits are refundable up until puppies are born. The deposit is refundable if there is not a puppy available to you.
Unless previously agreed upon between Buyer & Breeder, all puppies will be sold with a limited registration. (limited registration simply means that while this puppy may be AKC registered, its offspring cannot. It is not being sold as breeding stock).
As the breeder, I want to interview prospective puppy parents. I reserve the right to place my puppies in homes I feel that will be best suited for not only the puppy but the puppy parents as well. I also reserve the right to decline selling a puppy if I feel that is the best decision.

I had a chance to talk with (our now ex-Governor) Baldacci and Mrs. Baldacci. They had Sammy and Mia, their two Springer Spaniels with them. Mia left my kennel at 8 weeks of age after Karen and son Jack picked her out. It was wonderful to see how she has grown and matured. She is a happy and friendly dog and enjoys her family and friend Sammy. The Govenor reports (with a grin) that "Mia is spoiled rotten and gives Sammy fits". All my best to Mia, Sammy and the Baldacci family.
I am also registered and inspected with the State of Maine as a Qualified Breeder and Kennel Owner. Breeder #F1021 K. Because I am licensed with the State, 5.5% sales tax will be charged.
Along with the fun of raising Springers, I work very hard to place my puppies (and sometimes adult dogs), in permanent, loving homes. It's important to me that all my dogs find families that are "right" for each other in regard to temperment and activity level. I welcome calls from all my puppy families with any questions, concerns and problem solving.
I encourage families to come meet my dogs and see where their dog has been raised, meet the parents and meet me. A canine addition to the family is a 10-15 year commitment and you should feel comfortable with your puppy's parents and the surroundings it was born into. Visitors are always welcome.
