🐾❤️ Happy Birthday to our one and only OG, Lady Bug! ❤️🐾 Today we celebrate the girl who started it all — our very first English Cocker Spaniel and the reason we fell head over heels in love with this incredible breed! 🥰 Lady is truly everything we could ever want in a dog. She’s an exceptional hunting partner. After spending the last few years being an amazing mama and helping us build our program, she’s officially back doing what she loves most — and she hasn’t missed a beat! It’s like she never left the field! ❤️ But as incredible as she is in the field, she’s every bit as wonderful at home. She’s the BEST family member, the sweetest girl, and truly the definition of everything we love about ECS’s. In fact, we love her so much that we couldn’t imagine not keeping a little piece of her! Her daughter, June Bug, is part of our family and breeding program, and Crickett is Lady’s half-sister! So much of what we strive for in our breeding program comes from the qualities we’ve always admired in Lady. Watching those same instincts, personalities, and natural abilities already shining through in June’s very first litter has been incredibly rewarding. Lady is the foundation of so much of what we love, and we couldn’t be prouder of the legacy she’s helping us build! ❤️ 🎉 And speaking of Crickett… we have another birthday girl to celebrate! We were away on a much-needed family vacation (see pic below⬇️- we had a great time) but we missed wishing our beautiful Crickett a happy birthday on October 14th! So, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, sweet girl! 🥳❤️ Crickett is truly something special, too. She’s beautiful, incredibly smart, the sweetest and most loving girl, and another fantastic hunting partner. She has a personality that makes her impossible not to love! And we’re especially excited about what this next year could bring for her! 🤞🏻❤️ If everything goes according to plan, it will be a very special year for Crickett, and we can’t wait to share more! Stay tuned! These two girls hold such a special place in our hearts and in our family. We would truly be lost without them. They’ve given us countless memories, incredible days in the field, endless love at home, and so many reasons to be thankful for this amazing breed. Happy Birthday to our October girls, Lady Bug and Crickett! 🎂🐾❤️ We may celebrate their birthdays in October, but the truth is, we celebrate these girls every single day! We are so incredibly lucky to call them ours! ❤️
