Field-bred English Springer Spaniel Puppies | English Springer Spaniel Breeder of Merit

We have FIELD (performance bred) springer puppies! Males and one female available. All black and white. Ready to go at 9 weeks, the weekend of February 8th. Raised with the Puppy Culture workbook, by an experienced and accomplished AKC Breeder of Merit.

Repeat breeding, both parents fully health screened and in the OFA health database.  Puppies will be DAPP/Bordetella vaccinated, microchipped and have a heart and wellness exam at 8 weeks. Tails docked FIELD length (2/3 is left on). Almost all these kids had huge and terrible rear dew claws, which were removed, but I left the front dew claws ON. A softer, more biddable temperament is expected. These will be super sweet, very gentle, team players

Please read out 411 page prior to contacting me. Non-breeding, active lifestyle homes only. Serious inquiries are welcome.

BREEDER NOTE: The coats on these springers will be unusually light and we will not place any of these puppies in cold weather hunting homes. Gorgeous, leggy, active, FAST, smart dogs expected. These are the perfect agility candidates! The speed alone is just crazy, never seen anything like it. 

A 24/7 puppy cam livestream is available for the official puppy list. (An acceptable  puppy application and deposit are required.) Most people pick up in person, or fly in cabin with their puppy. Cargo shipping is a only a possibility if the bi-polar Montana weather allows it.

Home Sweet Home

I get asked all the time about our "facility".  As a tiny, HOBBY breeder that only has 1-2 litters a year, I don't have a facility, I have a private residence just like you.  I am not open to the public for tours, the very idea is absurd!

We have 360 acres with plenty of room for dogs to run, explore and hunt...and they do!  We are fortunate  to have a climate controlled indoor kennel of 8 runs. We do not keep intact male springers on the property. Our dogs are not prisoners and the springers are kenneled only at night, when we are having horrible weather (muddy floors - OY!) and during heat cycles. The Sussex are full-time house dogs. Our property is gated with several security cameras strategically placed to keep track of spaniel shenanigans. There are two, one acre puppy and dog yards, and a 40 acre fenced "yard" for the house dogs.

When we have puppies, they are live streamed 24/7 until they leave, or destroy the camera. (Usually around the same time - lol!) 

We are located near Anaconda. Yellowstone National Park is about 90 minutes to the south. A fun factoid: Yellowstone the TV show is filmed in Ravalli County, in western Montana and in Utah...pretty far away from the real Yellowstone. I don't watch the show. Most Montanans don't. We prefer 1923, which is legit and filmed locally!

Here are some pictures of Hellfire doggy life here:

We have 360 acres of rolling hills and forests to run and play on

Our puppies are whelped in the house, on proper bedding...no shavings, paper or straw

 

We have 8 sparkly clean, heated/cooled indoor runs

My grooming room is used a LOT.

The puppy yard is in two parts - this is the one acre "big yard".

This is the "little yard"  - the puppies have access to it at night and learn to use the doggy door around 5 weeks old.  The lavender gate opens to the big puppy yard.

Sussex Spaniel Art Prints

ALL SOLD! British artist, Jo Van Kampen has sent me a few  gorgeous prints of the oil painting she has done of my special boys! They are $100, including shipping. They are more gorgeous in real life than in photos.  She is doing another one of my girls Faith and Marv in 2025. I believe they are 12 x 16 in size, numbered, signed by the artist. Only 20 high quality, giclee prints were made. No more will ever be made.

Zeeza was out of CNFC Rolling Oaks Sumday Bud X Abitt of Hellfire MH.

He was an amazing dog and I miss him every day.  He was the best dog. I wish I had started him in obedience earlier as he would not doubt have finished his OTCH.

Hellfire Sussex Spaniels: New Grand Champion!

I am happy to announce that the lovely Smoosh has finished her Grand Championship! Smoosh is a very correct, breed typey Sussex with beautiful movement, perfect bite and of course the best temperament on the planet, thanks to Marv, her mother! Note the proper tail set, below the back...something that is sadly disappearing quickly in this breed.

Hellfire Sussex Spaniels: Pax Update

It took 2 years of putting this gorgeous dog back together after he was returned to me shaved down to the skin, but Pax, Hellfires Marvelous, finally came out for his very first shows and picked up some BOWX3  points and a fabulous Group 3 in a stunning Bred By Exhibitor Sporting Group - the competition is fierce in the Pacific Northwest! 

Pax is out of my MBISS GCHB CH Hellfires Mizz Marvel "Marv" X GCH CH Three D First and Foremost "Frank" litter of 9. He is 7+ years old and getting a late start, but he still looks great! I could kick myself for not keeping him as he was the only boy in that litter. He would have have had an outstanding show career had I got him back earlier!

Bred-By Exhibitor Group 3 for Pax!

Owned and trained by Linda Coffel

She's never been super fast, but she has always been super QQ consistent!

 

Also a highly successful Search and Rescue dog with documented finds. Why this amazing dog isn't an @AKC ACE Award winner, makes no sense to me. This dog has it all.

Two decades of purpose bred dogs.
