They are a part of our home with a routine schedule for feeding, play, kennel up for sleep overnight in our living room. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Basic manners, "No" Biting or Chewing, Potty Training, Outdoors (when Weather permits), Toys, e.g. Ball, Chew, e.g. Bone, Grooming Desensitization, Socialized with Elderly, Socialized with Adult Dogs, and Socialized with Children.
All pups have been inspected by vet, have their initial shots, dewormed, and prevention meds of heartworm, ticks and fleas. They are active, socialized, and delightfully playful.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Walters Spaniels hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Debra offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“Zoom conversations are preferred if one cannot come to the house to collect their new family fur baby. After such, glad to negotiate a meeting place that is agreed upon and meet up in a safe public place. ”
Why Debra started breeding
In the 1980s I was a breeder for Cocker Spaniels. I have always had Cockers and adore the Spaniel line of the variation of Spaniel breeds. But, Cockers and King Charles Cavaliers hold a special place. I stopped breeding Cockers in the 1990s when my children and decorating business took up the majority of my time. My litters were AKC registered in those days and they were cared for in my home, socialized and trained for basic house training.
