All of our puppies are microchipped and sold on a co-ownership contract to ensure that our puppies never end up homeless or in a shelter. We require that we remain as a contact on the microchip registration. We require our puppies to be returned to us if there is ever any reason you can no longer keep them. Is that a problem?

As we spend the first many weeks of our puppies lives socializing and training them, we are in a unique position to help determine which puppy is right for you based upon your circumstances and preferences. While we try to honor sex and color choices, ultimately, we decide which puppy’s personality will be the best fit for your family. Do you agree to allow us to make that decision?

How did you find out about Songbird English Springer Spaniels?

Please understand that we do not have puppies available at all times, and there may be a wait. We also do not produce enough puppies to sell one to every person who contacts us. We sometimes have to say no to potential buyers, not because we do not think they would provide a great home, but because we strive to place our puppies in homes they will be most likely to do well in. This can sometimes depend on the puppy's personality, the needs or wants of the family, the number of puppies available, and other factors we must consider when placing the limited number of puppies we produce. We are happy to provide references to other responsible breeders if we are unable to sell you a puppy and ask for your understanding if we are unable to place a puppy in your home.
