If you are looking for a selective non-commercial breeder with a goal of developing the essential behaviors found the excellent field springer spaniel gundogs you should take a few moments to learn about us at Windmill Hill Kennels. Windmill Hill Kennels’ goal is to continue the traditional quest for breeding of cooperative sensitive field springer spaniels suitable for non-electronic collar and positive reinforcement training. Our goal is to provide the traditional hunter of upland birds and waterfowl an all-around excellent companion gundog, suitable for living in the home and seriously hunting in any terrain, in any weather, for any birds within the safe physical limits of a field springer spaniel. In the words of Ray Holland in his book Seven Grand Dogs, “These dogs were all finished craftsmen in the hunting field, plying their trade of finding game, pointing or flushing it, and then retrieving it. However, they were more than that – they were loved by their folks and they loved their folks." 

Donna and Tony Welcome You to Windmill Hill Kennels

This website contains information about what we are doing in the world of Field Bred English Springer Spaniels. We will be posting information about past and future AKC & NAHRA hunt tests and hunting trips, planned breedings, training we are doing, and of course about the puppies that will comprise the next generation of first class versatile home and hunting companions.

Why we do What we do...

Our beloved girl, the late "Tempest" of Windmill Hill, was as beautiful as she was talented. She was the quintessential hunting and home companion that had a wonderful disposition, a desire to please, and instincts for all types of bird hunting in various types of cover.  We always believed her lines should be carried on, so others can have the many rewarding experiences we have had and continue to have. So we started with breeding her. She had two exceptional litters over her life time. 

Two of her daughters, Brigit and Zoe have carried on her line of exceptional home and hunters. Her daughter "Bridget" had a great litter the Summer of 2017 and her daughter "Zoe" had great pups the Autumn of 2020.

We have a great boy in Fionn from Zoe's litter; who will be the sire to Kay - Jay Spring 2024 and Misty starting Spring 2025. 

We expect Fionn to be a MH , Kay Jay a JH, and Misty to be a SH by Summer 2024 

In the past we have had waiting lists established six months to a year in advanced. Some of Tempest's, Brigit's, and Zoe's litter families are planning on getting another pup, so if you are interested contact us soon.  

Information on our next litter will be shared as soon as nature tells us in 2024.

They will stay with us getting much love, experiential learning, and introduction to needed basic skills for 12 weeks. When they leave for their new forever homes they will enter the ranks of home and hunters ready to learn and grow. You can learn about our training and socialization program on the "Puppies" page; as well as learning about our four previous litters.

We are Accepting Reservations from Families Who Want to Have Loving Hunters with Great Drive and a Gentle Temperament to Join Their Forever Homes
