Change of Plans

Due to some problems with the stud dog's sperm evaluation, we won't be breeding Libby this season after all. We will possibly try again on her next season, or it might wait until next year because her co-owner isn't sure she wants to do a winter litter. I'm disappointed things didn't work out this time; hopefully it will all be good when we decide to try again.

Plans for Kali are still in place; just waiting for her to come into season which could be any time now.

Breeding Plans

Two litters are in the works for summer/fall 2010. Kali (Ch. Kalwa Good Morning Starshine) will be bred to Andy (Ch Tri-Ste's And My Daddy Is). This litter will be at my home in West Jordan, UT. Kali will be bred when she comes into season, which should be in June (or maybe early July). The other litter will be from a bitch I co-own. Libby (Kalwa's Ekovly Always and Forever) lives with her co-owner in Galion, OH. Libby just came into season, and will be bred to Eastman (Ch. All-Time's Kodak Moment CD RN CGC). Additional info about both litters (including pictures and pedigrees for the prospective parents) will be available shortly on the Planned Parenthood page of http://www.kalwaspringers.com.

Getting Started

Welcome to the world of Kalwa Springers. I am a small-scale breeder, exhibitor, and all-around lover of English Springer Spaniels. I have been involved with Springers since 1999, and have bred Springers under the prefix Kalwa since 2004. I love sharing info about my dogs, and thought this blog might be a good way to enhance the information available on my website at http://www.kalwaspringers.com. The website's great, but challenging to keep updated on a regular basis, so I thought a blog might be a good way to post recent info and pics about the Kalwa Springers and their activities. For more in-depth info about me and the Kalwa dogs, check out the website, then come back here for up-to-the-minute (or at least more regularly updated) info about what the Springers and I are doing.
