From First Hello to Forever Home
Our Spaniels grow up in the heart of our family home. They have free access to our secure garden and spend their early weeks surrounded by love, children, and play.
Week 1-3
Watch them grow, wiggle, and wobble.
You’ll be part of the journey from the very beginning – watching your future pup explore the world and get to know their siblings.
It’s also your chance to connect with other future owners – your new extended puppy family.
Week 6–7: Vet Check
& Vaccinations
All puppies receive a full vet check — and if anything unexpected comes up, your deposit is fully refundable.
Vaccinations are optional and arranged at your request.
If you'd like us to handle them, they must be paid for in advance so we can prepare everything ahead of collection.
Week 3 - First Visit
It’s time to meet the puppies in person!
You can’t choose just yet — we’ll select our keeper first and help guide you based on temperament and colour.
In parti-colours, markings often develop later, so we wait a little to make the perfect match.
Week 8: Collection Day!
It’s time — your puppy is ready to head home!
You’ll receive:
Royal Canin puppy food
Treats, essentials & surprises
Pedigree certificate, vet check, vaccination record & microchip transfer
Get ready for cuddles, chaos, and the start of your life together!
Week 3 Onwards- Deposits
Deposits can be made any time from Week 3 — but please note, no puppy is reserved without one.
We operate on a first-come, first-served basis once deposits are received.
From Week 3 onwards, your payment schedule begins, and by Week 6, your pup will be KC registered, with final balance and vaccination payment due.
Week 5: Puppy Selection Day
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for — it’s time to choose your puppy!
Selections are made in deposit order, and while we often know pairings earlier, this is when you’ll officially meet and confirm your pup.
It’s always a special day full of smiles, cuddles, and sometimes a few happy tears.
Preparing the Dam
Every litter starts with thoughtful preparation of the dam. We carefully consider her health, timing, and suitability as a mum. Will she raise confident, well-adjusted puppies? Will she contribute positively to the breed? These are the questions we ask before any mating takes place.
Health checks and pre-breeding treatments are essential — including worming, vaccinations, and folic acid supplementation. Timing is just as important: we think about season (summer or winter), the setup of our whelping area, and when the dam should move in with us. We're fortunate to have a quiet, warm office adjoining our master bedroom, which is transformed into a dedicated nursery prior to birth. Mum remains here for at least the first 10 days, or until she and the puppies are fully settled.

Selecting a Stud
We don't take our breeding decisions lightly. Each stud is carefully selected for temperament, health, structure and pedigree. Health testing is a minimum standard, but we go beyond that, looking for a calm and confident personality and proven lineage. Whether it's a renowned show dog like Lindridge Frontrunner or a well-balanced companion, our goal is always to enhance the breed and produce dogs with sound minds and bodies.
Once you're in.......
Once we’ve had a call and agreed we’re a good match, we’ll add you to our private WhatsApp group and give you access to our live Puppy Cam. From there, you’ll receive weekly updates, photos, and timelines.
