Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Arcadia Field Spaniels located in Graham, NC. I breed with a focus on genetic diversity and overall health in addition to solid, friendly temperaments. I want dogs who are healthy in both mind and body. We strive to preserve the breed for competition in conformation shows, performance events, and most importantly as beloved family companions.

Kelsey’s experience

  • About Kelsey

    I have loved dogs since I was a kid and grew up working with dogs at a boarding kennel. I fell in love with Spaniels with my first dog, who was a gentle and loving Cocker Spaniel. I came to love Field Spaniels because they represent a quintessential Spaniel that can do it all. I raise my dogs in my home as loved family members who come everywhere with us.

  • What makes Kelsey’s program special

    I have a strong belief in preserving genetic diversity, following guidance by Nordic kennel clubs to keep the coefficient of inbreeding below a certain level. This helps keep dogs healthy, with less risk of recessive genetic health conditions. I also want to keep temperament as a focus of my program. No one wants to live with a dog who is less than stable.
