At Calico Field Spaniels, we breed litters infrequently because we plan carefully to assure that we have the time and energy required to raise a litter of puppies to be well-socialized, happy individuals. Sires and dams are chosen carefully for their temperament, physical conformation, health (including hip, patella, elbow evaluation, eye, thyroid, and cardiac status) and performance aptitude. Puppies are raised in our home, initially in a quiet bedroom area and then at 4 weeks of age, they move into the middle of our kitchen so that they have excellent stimulation and interaction with people. The goal is to produce puppies who are equipped to live happy and healthy lives first and foremost as companions that may be able to compete in the show ring or performance venues as well. All puppies are placed in their new homes with a written contract, veterinarian evaluation of health, and veterinary ophthalmologist eye check, puppy aptitude test results, and a puppy rearing manual written here at Calico.
While we have had people wait for a puppy from Calico, we understand that not everyone wishes to wait for a puppy. In that case, we will be happy to let you know of those breeders from whom we expect you will have an opportunity to obtain a quality, carefully planned and raised Field Spaniel puppy and we will update this area periodically to let you know who might have a litter coming that you may inquire about. This is not an endorsement of those individuals; you will still need to do your own inquiry and determine that the breeder is someone with whom you wish to work. To inquire as to whether or not we may have puppies available, please feel free to email us by clicking on the email button at the top right of the screen. Then, we’ll need to talk about what you want in a puppy and what we expect to have. We want to be sure that a Field Spaniel is the right dog for your home as a puppy is a lifetime commitment.
