All the sires and Dames of our breeding program have been DNA tested for 200 + Genetic markers by Embark to ensure the best possibility of genetic disorders.

All of our Field bred Springer Spaniel pups are born and raised in our home. This is a crucial imprinting process at this early age for socialization and human interaction.

The foundation of our program has focused on “selective breeding”since its inception in 1985. Through closely studying and hand selecting top-notch field trial stock, our kennel has been able to faithfully produce canines with exceptional intelligence, hunting ability and a strong desire to please. Our strain of Springers consistently made themselves welcome family members in addition to being an exceptional performer in the field and marsh.

Since its inception in 1985 Citari has selected a few pups from every breeding that takes place here at the homestead to train as started gundogs. Every breeding here at Citari is closely evaluated. Through our process, we closely evaluate them for exceptional intelligence, hunting ability and a strong desire to please, incorporate a soft demeanor for the family setting and live up to all of the expectations for today’s small game enthusiast. This consistent evaluation process ensures and maintains the breeding of world class Field Bred Springer Spaniel.

Citari Kennel offers a limited number of “private placement” litters a year. Our puppies are sold to approved homes, where the owners recognize and appreciate the fact. That the price of a puppy is the smallest expenditure a responsible owner will make during the life of his or her favorite companion. Our up-most concern is that our clients do provide an appropriate home for our Field bred Springer Spaniels.
