Ben and Freya
I’m waiting for a picture of Ben and Freya. Freya earned her Novice Trick Dog recently. Now I can’t take credit for this team, but I can take credit for this litter of puppies. That is two puppies from this litter of eight to have their Trick Dog title before they are even six months old! Freya is Fox River Sweet Little Lady from the Higgins and Tilly litter. Watch this fun video of the two until I get a picture. https://youtu.be/KNCIGexdKlg
Our First Dog – Snicker
Yes, Snicker was an English Springer Spaniel – liver and white. I believe she was born in 1983.
The girls were about 6 and 3 when we got her. She was a great dog for them growing up. She lived to
be 12 1/2 years old.
New Trick Dogs
Ernie earned his Trick Dog Novice title. Nice job Ernie! But he was only 14 weeks old when he did so! Ernie is Fox River Importance of Being Earnest.
His older brother, Pete, also has been busy and has earned his Intermediate and and Advanced Trick Dog recently. Pete is Fox River Legacy For Pete’s Sake and he is five years old. Good job Karen with the boys!
- Update: News just in! Ernie has his Intermediate Trick Dog now! Wow!
Missing Violet
October 8th Violet left us for the Rainbow Bridge. She was a big part of Fox River Spaniels giving us three beautiful litters. She was very biddable and sweet. So good with the puppies.

New Bronze Grand Champion
October 27th in Jefferson, WI at the Janesville/Beloit Kennel Club shows, Higgins earned his Bronze Grand Champion by going Best of Breed. I am indebted to friend Barb Lankford for handling him for me for his last point.

Fox River Spaniels welcomes our new litter of Welsh Springer puppies!
June 27th Tilly (CH Fox River Celtic Little Chute TKN) whelped her first litter of puppies. She has three boys and five girls, so eight puppies – a good sized litter! Sire is Higgins (GCH CH Fox River Higgs Boson JH WD CGC TKN), his second litter. He throws really nice puppies!
I have all the puppies placed now. They are with their new families in Washington state, 3 in the Twin Cities, MN area, Rhode Island, 2 in Madison, WI and one right here with me in Green Bay, WI.
Winnie: In the ribbons!
Just a little prejudiced to say the least! But such a good teammate who aims to please and loves working makes it fun for both of us! A challenge to work hard in 2020 and see what we can achieve. 
Here she is earning her CD – Companion Dog title. A title in front and behind her name. Fox River Spaniels – dogs with versatility, health and beauty.

Shandy earns her TKN
It is interesting, even in this age of social distancing, you can still work with your dog to earn a new title. Using the camera on my phone, I videoed Shandy doing her tricks, which I forward on to a friend who is an AKC evaluator. Since Shandy has her CGC – Canine Good Citizen, she only needed five tricks which she did quite easily. She is a very quick study and is highly motivated – especially for food. True of every English Cocker I’ve ever known. Anyway, Shandy now has her Novice Trick Dog title! Good job Shandy!
Thanks Annie Evarts for the beautiful picture.
Thirteen years for the GEM litter!
Happy 13th birthday to the GEM litter, my first Welshie litter. Violet (left) and Ruby, two of the nine girls in the litter – yes nine girls – have been such a joy. Their mom, Molly, my first Welsh Springer, was a great mother. All but two of the sisters are still sharing their lives with their wonderful families. I am so grateful for all of you with your excellent care and love for these pups. I have been blessed. 
Shandy earns her ACT1
Shandy earned her ACT1 today and one leg of her ACT2. She is a fun little dog!
