Prelude Kennel

My love affair with the English Springer Spaniel began while I was in high school working as a veterinary technician. One of our clients repeatedly brought in some of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen. I finally got the nerve to ask if I could buy one from her, and she found me a sweet girl named Samantha looking for a home. Sam taught me a lot and produced my first litter. From this litter, a girl named Chelsea began my journey with obedience and conformation and all a springer can do.  Now, after over 40 years I am proud of the many accomplishments achieved by Bryden dogs and their owners. I still continue to produce a couple of litters per year and have come closer and closer to making that nearly perfect dog. I have been blessed to incorporate some outstanding pedigrees into my breedings and want to thank all those that helped me get to this level of producing top dogs. This is "Buddy" at 10 months. Champion Bryden's Walk The Line. In his first week of showing in Canada, he captured 5 Best Sporting puppy in group, 3 All Breed Best Puppy in Show, won an All Breed Sweepstakes, was Best Puppy at the ESSCC National Specialty and the Best Puppy in Sweepstakes as well. His first venture to the US at 7 months netted him a 4-point major win and was followed up by winning the breed twice and a Sporting Group Third at 9 months of age. He completed both his American Championship and Grand Championship and won the Dallas Fort Worth Springer Specialty as well. In Canada, he won the Canadian Nationals in 2012 and Best Of Opposite in 2013, along with an Award of Merit in 2014.
