I'm the breeder behind Beekauz Kennel located in Farmington, IL. My program is built upon a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for the Boykin Spaniel and the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. I offer quality pups from Champion lines. I am home to the first Boykin Spaniel to earn BOTH an AKC Championship and an AKC Master Hunter title. I am also home to the first Gold Grand Champion NSDTR female in the history of the breed! I am passionate about my dogs and what I look to achieve as a breeder.
About Sharon
My dogs are a huge part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them; whether that be through completing our various day-to-day activities together, participating in various show venues, or just cuddling up at night. I strive to not only produce beautiful puppies and continue my phenomenal bloodlines but to set the standard for responsible breeding practices in order to ensure that these breeds will continue to thrive for generations to come.
What makes Sharon’s program special
I am a premier breeder of Boykin Spaniels and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers. I do not breed my dogs unless they are healthy and are excellent representations of the breed standard. Many of my dogs have become excellent show prospects, hunting companions, and champions, but all of them have become loving family dogs and lifelong friends!
