March 31, 2025 our liver and tan English Cocker girl, Quincy, delivered her beautiful puppies – all seven of them. As expected, a breeding with Rory, who carries for liver and tan, gave us two boys (solid liver, liver and tan) and five girls (2 solid black, 2 solid liver, and 1 black and tan). All of the solid colors, except red! I’ve called them the PEANUTS litter – with names like Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Patty, Marcie, Sally and Snoopy.
Here is a quick photo of the pups today, April 9th. To me they look like chocolate and licorice jelly beans right now!
Here is a beautiful head shot of Rory, the sire of this litter – Fox River Ricordanza RA BCAT FITB FTI

I am not accepting any more puppy buyer questionnaires at this time. I thank all of you that have taken the time to answer my questions and expressed an interest in the Peanuts litter.
A very special opportunity has come up. One of the girls from the Island litter, 14 months old, is coming home in October. This little gal is ready for the show ring and I would love to see her in a show home. If you are interested in a beautiful, sweet little gal and are interested in showing, please email me today! She has been placed in a great new home.
I am happy to report that all ten of the gorgeous puppies from this litter have now been placed with some great families. For those of you interested, DNA showed that Baloo was the sire of the whole litter. That said, Polo is still in the pedigree, just back a couple of generations.
If interested in any future English Cockers or Welsh Springers puppies, it is best to just watch my website for litter announcements. I do not typically keep a wait list.
Thanks for following this journey and my website!
Well, it has been three years since we have had a litter of Welsh Springer Spaniel puppies here at home, and we are super excited! Puppies will be ready to go to their homes Fall 2023. What is extra special about this litter is it was dual-sired. Yes, two daddies! Pups will have a DNA test to determine which one is their dad. Puppies were delivered here at Fox River Spaniels on July 15th. All ten are healthy and beautiful.
Inquiries invited. Best way to reach me is to send me an email – foxriverspaniels@yahoo.com. I will then email you a questionnaire to fill out and return. I am especially looking for show and performance homes, but they all need a good family as well. The cost of one of these pups is to be determined after I know who the sire is, and number of males and females. Pups will be ready to go to their family early fall. A great time to add a puppy to your home!
So who are the two dogs? And who is the mother-to-be? All three are listed on the WSS Breeder Archive and OFA so you can see pedigrees and health clearances.
Polo – GCH CH Lambeau Leap CGC, is our almost 13 year-old and is one of the two. Polo was Winners Dog at the 2012 Welsh Springer Spaniel National specialty. He also went Best Bred By and received an Award of Merit. He is a proven stud giving us some beautiful offspring.
Baloo – GCHB CH Rocksprings The Bare Necessities is our other dog. He is a “bronze” grand champion and has been shining in the conformation ring. He has produced some beautiful puppies. We are excited to have him in the Fox River Family with his puppies. This is Kit, his owner.
Tilly – And who is the mother of this litter? Well, it is our own beautiful Tilly! GCH CH Fox River Celtic Little Chute JH WD OJP NAP CGC FDC TKN VCX. This little girl won the prestigious GOLD Iron Welsh Challenge Award at the 2023 Welsh Springer Spaniel National specialty in Louisville, KY this past March. Besides being beautiful she also has the performance skills to back up the claim to talent! This is her second litter.

The puppies are 8 weeks old in these pictures. They have been to the vet for their well-baby exam, first vaccination and their microchip. They have been outside for short bursts of time; it is still winter in Wisconsin! They are much more active now.
I am just thrilled with this litter: the color, the temperament, how quick they learn, and the good health.
Do look under “Latest News” to see pictures of both Quincy and Badger, the mother and father of these pups.
