Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Braith Welsh Springer Spaniels located in West Liberty, OH. We are passionate about the health and well being of our Welsh Springers. They are born and raised in our home. The goal we set and which we believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog.

Bobbie and Ron’s experience

  • About Bobbie and Ron

    I have always loved animals and was always with my English Setter growing up. We love all animals and are passionate about the WSS breed. Ron grew up with Cocker Spaniels and we both learned early on, the unconditional love that our dogs bring us.

  • What makes Bobbie and Ron’s program special

    We would like to think of the extensive socializing that we try to do before our pups ever go to a new home! It takes a lot of time and energy and its worth it. We put our heart and soul into it!

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

I have a DVD with all sorts of sounds on it that is played daily. They are not kept in a quiet out of the way place. They are in the middle of our dining room, with their "brothers and sisters" roaming in and out of the room. I have other adult dogs around them. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Household Desensitization, Sound Stimulation, Potty Training, Crate Training, and "No" Biting or Chewing.

Puppy health practices

Well now, my pups go right away for a check-up at my vets when they are only a day old. They are usually dewormed at that time, and then I repeat the process always, at home. They are immunized twice before going to their new home. I require them stay with their siblings until 9 weeks of age for sure. If need be, I am willing to keep them until 10 weeks if that works out better for traveling plans, etc for the new family. The longer they are with their siblings the better. .
