Susan’s experience

  • About Susan

    Susan and Melissa have spent the majority of their lives involved in the sport of purebred dogs. Professionally, we both are registered nurses working in critical care at The University of Michigan. We both believe in the highest standards in animal husbandry and the responsibility of producing healthy dogs. We stand by our breeding program.

  • What makes Susan’s program special

    We believe in breeding to the English Springer Spaniel standard. While we are very active in showing dogs and have bred 60-plus champions, our goal is to breed healthy, beautiful, and sane pets! Foxboro dogs are active in obedience, agility, therapy, and hunting (I don’t promise they hunt. I’ve been proved wrong!) We stand by every dog that is produced here and offer lifetime breeder support.
