Petite Ville Springers

06/18/2025

The English Springer Spaniel is a sweet-faced, lovable bird dog of great energy, stamina, and brains. Springers are highly trainable people-pleasers. They are eager to join in any family activity. Long walks, games of chase and fetch, and swimming are favorite pastimes of these rugged spaniels.

Are you interested in this breed? The OFA, working with the English Springer Spaniel Field Trial Association, recommends the following basic health screening tests for all breeding stock:
- Hip Dysplasia (OFA or PennHIP)
- Elbow Dysplasia
- ACVO Eye Exam
- crd4/cord1 PRA DNA Test
- DNA Repository (University of Missouri or OFA)
Optional but recommended:
- Fucosidosis
- PFK
- Degenerative Myelopathy
- Autoimmune Thyroiditis
- Cardiac (Basic, congenital, or advanced via a cardiologist)

Dogs meeting these basic health screening requirements are issued Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) numbers. For potential puppy buyers, CHIC certification is a good indicator the breeder responsibly factors good health into their selection criteria.

Dani’s current OFA Certifications! We’re submitting her hips/elbow X-rays this week!

01/28/2025

After a two year break, we are excited to announce that we will begin breeding next month!!! With that being said, I will be introducing our new mama, Dani!

Dani just turned 2! She carries a small percentage of euro lineage in her blood. Her coat color is black tri with some ticking. Our girl has the best personality!! Full of energy and eagerness to please. She has a strong toy drive and her favorite game is, can you guess, fetch!!! We have introduced her to dock diving and she thrives! We hope for her to earn her first title this year and maybe a few more. The best part about her is her affection towards us and our children!!

We have worked very hard on getting her ready for her first litter. We have completed all health certification and genetic testing required for the ESS breed for her to be CHIC certified! This means she has been screened for every disease recommended by OFA and record is kept in a database.

In result our goal is to breed healthy, well-socialized puppies with excellent temperaments!!
