WELCOME TO UK FRENCH SPANIELS

FRENCH SPANIELS IN THE UK

There are approximately 140 French Spaniels in the UK. They first came to the UK in 2010 and now all aligned breeders are following a sustainable breeding plan to continue to grow our population while increasing the gene pool. The French Spaniel is a HPR breed, they work differently and are larger than your usual springer or cocker spaniel - to find out more about them see our "about" page.

We hold a waiting list via contact on this site and can direct you to future breeders. Please do take the time now to find out more about the breed if you are thinking of adding a French Spaniel to your family. With only one to two litters per year we are keen to find the right owners for these rare dogs.

All our breeding stock are genetically tested for AMS and E-Locus and hip scored.
