Helen Crocker/Ladybug Springers

Helen Crocker/Ladybug Springers is an English springer spaniel breeder in York, ME, serving York County and the southern Maine area near Portland. As a member of national spaniel clubs and local kennel associations, Helen Crocker conducts recommended health testing for hips, elbows and eyes to promote long term well-being. Puppies grow up in a family home with access to a secure, fenced yard and daily interaction with children and adults. Some of their dogs regularly participate in obedience trials and have achieved placements in local field events.

The program balances hunting ability with gentle temperaments, aiming to raise dogs that excel in both field work and household companionship. Early socialization and basic training are introduced in each litter, encouraging confidence and adaptability in new environments. While living spaces focus on comfort, regular exercise routines and balanced nutrition support healthy development from puppyhood onward.
