We did a lot of research when we wanted to choose our family companion. Finally after 6months of contemplation we came to the conclusion that a mini Springerdoodle would be best for our family and reached out to GA Dog Club. We were very dead set on getting this specific type of breed for a multitude of reasons and size we preferred.
I must admit, we were very hesitant at first because of the horror stories you hear with puppy mills and breeders, brokers, all the crazy stuff that’s out there these days. I called the NC location and spoke with a representative that said she would locate any information in the specifics of our pup’s exact breeds/etc. I will only say that the office/pup meet appt was a bit odd at first because they wanted to instantly bring us a puppy but we insisted that we wanted the paperwork to provide her listed breeds and size (not to mention if you’re paying for a $1300 dog…you should get exactly that…) before we ever saw her. I was shocked when the GA dog club was able to provide us with photos of the mother and father of our pup (previously Gianna, now Pepper) and also provide us with the mother’s AKC registration numbers. We did a search of that information and the photos matched with the breed listed. We instantly felt complete relief as we were more than willing to travel to get the breed we were looking for, but we truly fell in love with Peppers pictures on their website. Mother was listed at 30lbs, father was 15lbs. She’s about to be 5m old and is just now at 17lbs (she was 7.2 on adoption).
We have now had Pepper in our lives since 7/7/23 and she has been an absolute joy to our family. English Springer Spaniels are well known to be great family dogs but also very docile and smart as a whip. She is just that and MORE. The most loving sweet pup we’ve ever had! Thanks for helping us find our “Peeps” “Pepperchinni” “Pepperoni”
Thank you so much for being able to work with us and being able to provide us the confidence we needed to make our family’s right decision!
(I am only giving the GA Dog Club a 4 star, would do 4.5, due to the day of adoption we felt that it was odd that it took them an extended amount of time to gather the mother’s/father’s background information as I had requested it days in advance. Our appt with them was rather lengthy and we were there for almost 2 hours.)
