Where Laney Began...



I've wanted a dog of my own for years, but once our families Golden Retrevier, Sadie, passed on...the desire of owning really started to hit me. I decided to research the English Springer Spaniel breed due to Dean having Odie growing up. She was a Liver and White female that he absolutely adored.

The more I researched, the more excited I got over this breed. They are described as happy, go-lucky and eager to please dogs. They are socialable, playful, gentle and extremely intelligent; very quick learners! Not to mention, they are surely to crack you up during playtime.

I looked over the breed for a little more than a year. I wasn't living in ideal conditions for a dog (townhouse in Lower Queen Anne), and I wasn't quite in the right mind set either. I was going out most nights with friends, running off to Hawaii and Napa on a quarterly basis. So, I researched and waited for the right moment. During my waiting period, I found the breeder I ideally wanted to go with:

Cedarhome Springers - AKC ESS

The breeders have loads of information on the website. Who they are, what they do, their expectations of owners, lineage, recomendations, pictures, their health contract, etc. And when I finally had an opportunity to contact them, something magical happened...

She was there.
