 Windmill Hill Kennels

       "Rough Shooting Springer Spaniels"

Windmill Hill Kennels is a breeder of Field Bred English Springer Spaniels focusing on the traditional "rough shooting" traits desired in a home & hunter companion.

Our Philosophy

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 Hills, was as beautiful as she was talented. She was the quintessential hunting and home companion that has 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 "Briget" had a great litter the Summer of 2017 and her daughter "Zoe" had great pups the Autumn of 2020.

Yes, we are moving to Spencer West Virginia and plan to be all moved in and training on our 8 acres by mid August. With a 50 / 50 mix of fields and woods, a creek on the property and a lake near by we will have all we need to for training. If you want to visit let us know. We have a camper you can use for a couple day stay.

Nine Beautiful Pups were Born on

November 27, 2020


All of her pups have families waiting for them when they leave us the week of February 15 2021. 

The next litter is planned for the Summer of 2022. 
The Dam will be Windmill Hill's "Fire and Ice" Haley.

She is the daughter of our girl Brigit and Sire Ranger. We do not have a sire currently set up for her. However, we have a few "suitors" in mind and hopefully after this COVID 19 has passed we can start to see these candidates in the field and in their homes. 

No matter who we choose, both will have lived and been loved in a home environment. We believe the matching should produce home and hunter companions with traits traditional desired in "rough shooting" bird dogs.

We currently have three people on the waiting list for our 2022 litter. Normally, each litter is spoken for well in advance of their birth. So if you are interested in becoming a forever home to one of our pups in the future, please fill out an application [Apply & Stories] and send us an email if you want to put on the list for the next litter.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
We hope you had a great Fall hunting birds last season.
Due to COVID 19 cancellations of AKC Hunt Tests and UFTA events, I have been training from home. If you would like to see Haley, Brigit, Zoe, Pinoke or Fionn in action contact us to set up a time. We can meet in Northern, RI or Southern, NH.

Information on our next litter of "Haley" and a Sire to be determined will be shared as soon as plans are made 

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 around Early January 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 3 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
