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. My objective was to find totally unrelated Springer Spaniels to breed healthy, happy puppies. I found wonderful Springer puppies from New York, Ohio, Missouri, Texas and California. You will see a variety of colors and markings on Springers from previous litters sent to me by their owners on my
Puppy Pictures page.
In the beginning Springer Spaniels came in two colors: Liver and White and Black and White.
A few years later I began getting inquiries about Tri colored Springer Spaniels and then
Roan Springer Spaniels. Sadie from California is a Black-Tip Sable (a subset of Black-Tri).
I added Skylar from New York who is a Liver and White Roan and Sparky from Texas who is a Black-Tri Roan. Willow is the daughter of Sadie and Sparky and a gorgeous Black-Tip Sable Roan.
Roans come from Europe. Skyler's lineage is from Poland and Sparky's lineage is from the Czech Republic. Willow and Skylar belong to Jim, my brother, who moved to Sonora in 2019 and has been assisting me with my Sonora Hills ESS breeding program. He is a lifelong canine lover. Willow had her first litter with Skylar November 13, 2024 under Jim's supervision.
He will continue to have litters in the Fall.
Once a year in the Spring I breed Sadie and Sparky who live with my family.

GENETIC and O.F.A. testing:
The results of these tests are available upon request.
Our Dams and Sires have been tested for 215 genetic markers by the Embark Co.
and their hips and elbows screened for proper placement by
the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals to ensure their puppies
will be as healthy as possible.
Our puppies are very playful, eager to please and very intelligent.
In addition, our puppies have stunning color combinations and markings.
PUPPIES
Springer Spaniel puppies require daily affection and exercise. They love being with their human companions, going for walks, fetching balls or frisbees on land or frolicking in rivers, lakes, or swimming pools. Each puppy comes with FULL AKC registration paperwork.
Dew claws will be removed but tails will be left natural. Natural tails are now AKC breed standard.
At the time a puppy goes home he/she is up to date with his/her immunizations
and has been dewormed twice. A blanket with mom's scent and a toy is also given.
A 2lb bag of food the puppy has been eating will also be given so adjusting to
a different puppy chow goes smoothly.
A one-year health guarantee or money back and a signed contract between Sonora Hills ESS and the new owner is provided. You will also receive copies of the puppy's pedigree.
We strongly prefer prospective owners who are familiar with the breed. However, if you are interested in owning one of our Springer puppies and haven't owned one before, I request you research the breed to determine if a Springer will be a good fit for your family.
Our Springers are friendly, active, and intelligent. You will receive a playful puppy
who will be loyal and affectionate towards your family.
Please realize the time, patience and commitment required to raise a puppy. Thank you.
