Springer Spaniel Reviews

                Good morning!   I wanted to let you know that this passed weekend one of your pups certified with the international police work dog association for a 160 acre wilderness search. This is a big accomplishment and the search and rescue team her and I are on, as well as the master trainers certifying her have been very impressed with her work ethic and temperament. She is an amazing dog and there is nothing I can’t do with her. Thank you for such a great girl. Here is a picture of her certification. Now that we have completed this discipline she will be training in human remains detection work next.   Sincerely, Courtney Riordan

  When we began looking for a Springer Spaniel we knew we wanted both a hunting companion and a family pet. Citari Kennels produces that exemplifies what we love and look for in a Springer Spaniel: temperament, biddability, a strong desire to please, and raw natural hunting instincts at a very young age. Our dog Riggins, from Citari’s  Sassy and Hawk, has truly been a pleasure to train and hunt over. In the field he is biddable, birdy, and a force to be reckoned with. At just over a year  he had two passes towards his Junior Hunter Title and is ready to start training towards his Senior Hunter this year. At home he is a love and desires nothing more than to be with us. He gets along every person and dog alike. We look forward to seeing Riggins progress and will certainly be returning to Citari and David for our next Springer! Best, Evan & Kerin Cavanaugh Hanover, NH

I will be picking up my third Citari Springer in just a few weeks. As an avid and life time bird hunter, getting up there in years, I am grateful for the consistent, select breeding and quality of David Krassler’s, English Springer Spaniels. I have hunted these Springers in Alaska, the Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Dakotas, and New England. They have made me a better hunter as these Springers hunt “with you”, finding and flushing birds into shooting lanes that support better shots all while staying within a desired twenty yards. They are a joy to watch working and surprise me even after all these years with their intelligent approach and enthusiasm for the sport. Thank you David for the hard work on your end that makes all this possible. Douglas Boyd Dresden, Maine
