Our Springers

I began raising English Springer Spaniels in 1987. These fun and energetic little dogs are responsible for my early love of birddogs. If an English Springer Spaniel is in your future, give us an opportunity to be part of your search. I have been working with the ESS breed since I purchased my first hunting dog in the early 1990's. Three years later I began guiding upland hunts with that first spaniel and 2 others that I had purchased. My knowledge of the breed continued to grow, as did my quest for training, raising and breeding only the finest and most talented spaniels available. Over the years as my list of satisfied and repeat customers has grown, so has our reputation as being the source for those looking for a talented, intelligent and good looking spaniel that will get compliments in the field and at the dog park. I feel that my years of experince with the breed has allowed me to zero in on the truly talented field trial spaniel lines and given me the insight to properly cross those lines to create gifted hunting dogs and companion animals for our customers. It is my belief that a spaniel should posess the following; a keen nose, a high degree of intellegence and trainability, built to cover ground for a full day's hunt, and have good looks that recieve compliments from others. It is also important to me that your ESS is a great member of your family.  Whether your days in the field are many or few, an ESS purchased from Glacial Retriever Kennels will be a highly talented hunting dog and companion that you and your family will love to own. We guarantee it.
