How Our Springer Family Began...

We purchased our first English Springer Spaniel, an eight week old puppy, in February 1988 and in short order, he became our first champion in November 1989. Our next two Springer puppies were purchased in 1990 and became Ch. Salutaire's Snow Blossom ("Blossom"), a top-ten Springer bitch in 1993 and Ch. Ledgewood's Shooting Star ("Hayley"). Our current Springers descend from Hayley, our foundation, shown below:
