Killara Field Spaniels strives
to maintain Field Spaniels that not only adhere to the breed standard, but also demonstrate trainability, mental soundness
and good health. Breeding stock will be chosen on these attributes as our goal is to maintain these fine qualities that make
this breed so unique and wonderful.
All puppies are raised
in the home under close supervision with love and care. Between 3-16 days puppies are exposed to early neurological stimulation
program. This program includes thermal and tactile stimulation. Studies have found by using an early neurological stimulation
program that the pups mature at faster rates, perform better in problem solving tests, are more disease resistant and are
better at handling stressful situations.
Socialization continues with
the puppies being exposed to new places and situations to assure they grow into well adjusted pets. People will be invited
into the home to play with the pups as to socialize them further. At 8-10 weeks the puppies will undergo a Puppy
Aptitude Test to determine proper placement of puppies. The puppies also undergo an eye check by a board certified Ophthalmic
Veterinarian.
All puppies are sold on
a contract. Pet puppies are sold on spay/neuter contract and on limited registration. The puppies’ temperament, structure and trainability are all taken into consideration when placing puppies. The new
owners will receive a binder that includes but not limited to: a copy of the eye check, records of veterinary care, AKC papers, instructions
on grooming and daily care, & other additional information. We also strive to maintain contact with owners to offer
support and advice during the life time of your Field.
