Welcome to Thornfield, Australian based breeders of field-bred English Springer Spaniels
We breed field-bred English Springer Spaniels very occasionally and pups are carefully placed in homes committed to giving them a "job" - whether it be hunting, retrieving, field trialling, agility, obedience, rally-o, tracking, nose works or active family homes.
Our puppies are raised in an enriched indoor/outdoor environment with great consideration given to early neurological stimulation, socialisation with adults, children, mature dogs, cats and chickens, sound desensitisation, exposure to unusual surfaces and objects, olfactory and tactile stimulation, regular nail trimming and daily handling in addition to excellent health, diet and general care.
Where possible we health test our dogs and always aim for temperament, type and true working ability.

"The Spaniel is gentle, loving and courteous to man more than any other dog, of free untiring laborsome ranging, beating a full course over and over, which he does with a wanton playing taile and a busie labouring noise, neither desisting nor showing less delight in his labours at night than he did in the morning." (Richard Surflet, c. 1600s)
