We Love Our Spaniels!

About Us

Our dogs live at Scenic Valley Farm (SVF) in rural SW Wisconsin. The spend time inside and outside. In the summer time the doors to the screened in porch are open most of the time so they can come and go. They like to play outside much of the time. The come inside when they’re cold, tired, hungry and want attention.

They like to play with our neighbors english springer spaniel. With me they go for daily hikes over the meadows and through the woods. They do not hunt but live to chase criters, rabbits, deer, turkey, etc. Louie loves to swim and Sammy explores the shoreline. Here is Sammy’s first litter in August 2022 and second litter, July 4 2026.

These two dogs got together and decided to have pups, Sammy and Louie. Sammy, on the right in the pic is the mother is now, 7.15.26, almost 6 years old and Louie on the left is now almost 11 years old. Sammy’s first litter (pic above on the right) of pups are where born on February 20th 2022 and her second litter on July 4th 2026. The mother is tri-color and the father is liver and while. Both are English Springer Spaniels and are AKC registered. The liters are registered with the AKC. They have been the best of friends since I got Sammy as a pup. The pile Sammy & Louie are standing in front of is a SVF R&D project to develop organic compost in 30 days.

You visit the farm, Scenic Valley Farm, in rural Readstown and they will come running to greet you.

We have had English Springer Spaniels for 17 years and the first spaniel I got was Gunner, a liver and white(see pic below). He was my best friend. He passed away in June of 2020. Eleven years ago I got Louie to keep company with Gunner. I got Sammy for Louie’s companionship and to breed with Louie. I decided in my retirement to let Sammy have a liter of pups a year. When my four kids where growing up we had labs and retrievers. After the kids left the nest my son told me I needed a dog to walk me. I described a neighbor’s dog I used to play with all the time when I was a kid. I did not know what kind of dog it was. He went on the internert to look and found a English Springer Spaniel that fit my description. We located a breeder south of where we lived and picked up Gunner.

This liter is Sammy’s second litte. Our plan was to have Sammy to have one liter a year. But best laid plans of men don’t always work out. Louie was always interested but he could not catch up with Sammy. Until one late nite on May 3rd after midnight Sammy came into the house bouncing off the walls and Louie came in “smoking a cigarette”. Then 63 days Sammy’s second litter, 4 boucing pups, 2 girls and 2 boys. At 5:30 on July 4th the first one literaly bounced of the floor as Sammy was running outsisde. She made a nest in the dirt under the porched. I had to crawl on my belly to pull out and lead her to the whelping box, 4×8, that I built for. Within four hours she had the remaining 3 pups.

The springer is bred to be a bird hunting dog. They are great family dogs, super friendly and very devoted. “The definition a type of spaniel was bred, the ancestor of some of our modern spaniels, that would naturally crouch when it located game. Used in similes and metaphors as a symbol of devotion or obsequiousness.” Of all the dogs I have had for the past 50 years these spaniels make the best companions and family dog.
