Barefoot

Barefoot breeds English springer spaniels, West Highland white terriers and dachshunds in Wilbraham, MA, Hampden County near Springfield. They adhere to recognized health protocols with veterinary screenings for hips, elbows and eyes and maintain detailed records for each puppy and adult dog. Puppies grow up in a home environment with a sunny living area, where early socialization and gentle handling are part of daily life.

Rosemarie Masley draws on a background in canine behavior to match temperaments, helping families understand breed traits with straightforward guidance. Adults have access to a secure yard and indoor living space where enrichment toys and regular walks help maintain wellbeing. Each puppy leaves with a health report and a small sample of its familiar diet to ease the transition.

Gentle play sessions and early exposure to household sounds are part of their routine to foster confidence. Regular interactions with visitors and supervised outings to nearby parks encourage positive social skills before a puppy joins a new home.
