The History of Sonora Hills English Springer Spaniels
I began breeding English Springer Spaniels in 2013 for people who knew and loved this breed and were looking to adopt a Springer puppy. Initially I bred Black & White and Liver & White ESS, which is why you'll see pictures of these beautiful dogs sent to me from their owners on my Puppy Pictures page. A couple of years later I started getting inquiries about Tri colored ESS. I retired Luke (L/W) and Lacy (B/W) then researched and obtained Bear, a Liver-Tri, from Missouri and Elsa, a Black-Tri, from Ohio and Sadie, a Black-Tip Sable (a subset of Black-Tri) from California. My objective was to find totally unrelated English Springer Spaniels to breed healthy, happy puppies. A couple of years after that I was asked about Roan Springers so I added Skylar from New York and Sparky from Texas. Skylar is a Liver and White Roan and Sparky is a Black-Tri Roan. Roans come from Europe. Skyler's lineage is from Poland and Sparky's lineage is from the Czech Republic.
In 2019 my brother Jim moved to Sonora and has been assisting me with my Sonora Hills ESS breeding program ever since. He is a life long canine lover.

- Our ESS puppies have both Field and Bench in their lineage. They are bred for health, personality and beautiful markings. Sadie, Skylar and Sparky have been tested for 215 genetic markers by the Embark Co. and their hips and elbows screened for proper placement by the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) to ensure their puppies will be as healthy as is possible. Sadie, Skylar and Sparky are very playful, eager to please and very intelligent. Their individual markings are unique resulting in puppies with various color combinations and markings.
- ESS puppies require daily affection and exercise. They love to fetch balls or frisbees on land or water and go for walks. Each puppy comes with FULL AKC registration paperwork. Dew Claws are removed and Tails will be docked or natural depending on your preference. Each puppy is up to date with his/her immunizations and has been dewormed twice. A blanket with mom's scent and a toy is given to the new owner. A 4lb bag of food the puppy has been eating will also be given so adjusting to food you may choose goes smoothly. A one-year health guarantee or money back and a signed contract between Sonora Hills ESS and new owner states the puppy fully belongs to his/her new family and that the family promises to provide proper care and training for their puppy. Additionally, you will receive copies of the puppy's pedigree.
