Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Nautica Field Spaniels located in Indiana. We have shared our lives with Field Spaniels for the last 25 years. We are proud to have won many awards with our dogs and have seen that same success with people who have our puppies, however, it is just as important to us to hear the stories of those in their beloved homes. Our dogs are our pets first and foremost and live as members of our household. From sitting on the back of the couch, to assisting with dishwasher loading, to sitting at our feet at the computer, they are part of the family. For us, it is about the journey we are taking with the dogs we love.
Danielle’s experience
About Danielle
I grew up in a dog show family, particularly showing spaniels, so establishing my own breeding program was important to me. I have shown dogs for the last 30 years and have devoted my life to Field Spaniels for the last 22. It is important to me to know as much as I can about the breed and canine husbandry to continue producing healthy, structurally correct animals.
What makes Danielle’s program special
We breed with the intent of improving on what we have and working towards our next generation. All dogs are pets first and foremost. We truly believe that you have to have a beautiful pet that is healthy and temperamentally stable.

More about Danielle
Why Danielle started breeding
I grew up in a dog show family. When I got my first Field Spaniel, I worked very closely with her breeder to learn about the breed and what makes them unique from other spaniels. With her guidance, we produced my first litter of field spaniels, and from there the rest is history.
