Hellfire English Springer and Sussex Spaniels

Field Bred English Springer Spaniel Puppies

Life threw us a curve ball and our next openings for Field Springer puppies will be this summer. Prospective parents have outstanding pedigrees, level headed temperaments, siblings in field trial, hard core hunting, agility, obedience homes and have leggy, athletic body type. Both are black and white and fully OFA joint/eye/DNA/heart health screened.  There will be limited availability - contact us for more information and to begin our puppy family screening process.

Note: We do not place springer puppies in Canada.

Hellfire Sussex Spaniel Puppies!

We are so excited to announce that this gorgeous guy is going to be a dad again! Frank has been bred to the lovely Twinky - CH Hellfires Twinkle of Faith, and we are expecting puppies in February! Both Twinky and Frank are health tested and have normal hearts, eyes, DNA and BAER hearing. 

Frank had a litter in 2017 with Marv - BISS GCHB Hellfires Mizz Marvel that produced seven show puppies. Twinky is a very pretty, younger sister. Crossing our fingers for some beauties!  

PLEASE NOTE: No puppies are available. We will be doing another breeding over summer with Maverick and GG CH Hellfires Serendipity is Marvelous. It will Mav's retirement hurrah and his very last litter.

Hellfire Kennels - Health screening is important to us!

In addition to being an AKC Breeder of Merit for our Sussex and Springers, which is based on many years of accomplishment and many champions and titled dogs produced over the years, we have also been give a rare EXCELLENT rating by GoodDog for both our beloved breeds for our excellent health screening practices. For over twenty years Hellfire dogs have been fully health screened and results have always been sent to the OFA public database. 

Hellfire Sussex Spaniels - New Champion

We are happy to announce that Gwynnie finished her championship from the Bred By Exhibitor Class at the Pacific Northwest Sussex Spaniel Club Specialty in September. She became my 10th Hellfire bred Champion since 2015! Gwynnie is a lovely 2017 GCH Frank x GCHB Marv daughter. 

AKC PupPals Sussex Spaniel

We are happy to say that Maverick has been accepted to participate in the AKC PupPals program! PupPals provides children who are struggling with an illness, the illness/death of a loved one (human or pet), who are missing a deployed parent, or who are otherwise struggling through a difficult time.

With his charm and need to be the center of attention, Maverick was born to be a therapy dog. I expect that 2020 will be a busy year for him!

The Sussex Spaniel Puppies Have Arrived!

GCHB Maverick and Gwynnie (needs 3 singles to finish her CH) had five gorgeous puppies on March 20th, the vernal equinox...so, we've given them the Rites of Spring litter theme. The puppies look great - strong, fat, perfect mommy and no complications. Gwynnie is a perfect mommy.

We care about soundness and the health of the breed. Our breeding parents are health screened prior to being bred. Our puppies are HEART, EARS and EYES checked by specialists prior to being placed. We use the Puppy Culture enrichment and development program to raise them.

Happy Birthday!

Sussex Spaniel Puppies!

This gorgeous guy is going to be a dad again in March. Maverick is a Top 5 Sussex Spaniel and was #2 Sussex Spaniel in 2017.  We have bred him to a GCH Frank and GCHB Marv daughter - who just needs a few singles to finish her CH. She is my #2 bitch after her mom, a lovely, long/low/level typey girl, on the small end size-wise. 

Puppies are due March 20th. Very excited!

Trifecta Surprise!

Maverick, Marv  GG and I took a road trip to the Pacific Northwest Sussex Spaniel Club regional specialty in September, and hit the jackpot when Marv went Best in Show (BISS) for both specialties, and Best of Breed for the supported entry! But wait, there is more! Maverick went Best of Opposite Sex (BOSS) to his daughter, and Marv's daughter won all three majors, and Best of Winners (BOW). As a breeder/owner/handler all I can say is, what a day to remember! 

GG is the second of the GCH Frank X GCHB Marv puppies to become a champion, Dee Duffy's Skye finished first with 3 large majors in VA. Sister Gwynnie is almost there, with just 3 points to go. Super proud of my Marvy girls.

April is not very Springy

The Storm puppies are getting ready to fly the coop to various places, although a couple are staying in Montana. Zephy is due around the 30th, but is expecting a very small litter with Blanco and it is entirely booked. The Cate X Sully puppies are now 4 weeks old and I will be posting some new pictures shortly. A handful of them will be coming back to Montana, and there are a few available! Our weather continues to be unusually cold and snowy but the puppies are starting to get outside more and toughen up.

Some new pictures by Phyllis Ensley - There and back from the Sussex Spaniel Club of America shows in Raleigh, North Carolina. Marv came home with the BOSS - National Specialty Best of Opposite ribbon, under Breeder/Judge Doug Johnson, which is a nice win for a breeder/owner-handler! He said, "She is gorgeous..." so I have to believe it. :D

We bred her to BIS BISS Bertram Three D Captain Crunch, while we were in NC and it will be a couple more weeks before we know if we are expecting...or not. 

Happy Birthday to Marv's litter of 9 with Frank!  I kept two lovely daughters from that breeding, and am looking forward to bringing them out this summer.
