Richard Ivy

Richard Ivy breeds English springer spaniels in Washington, IN, in Daviess County near Evansville. With several years of experience, he follows American Kennel Club registration standards and recommended health screenings for hips and eyes before pairing adults.

Every adult dog is evaluated through established programs to maintain sound structure and longevity. Puppies are raised in a household setting with daily family interaction, exposure to children, and gentle outdoor activities. Early socialization includes basic obedience, supervised visits with other pets, and car rides to foster adaptability.

Each litter reflects the springer spaniel’s eagerness for both work and companionship, nurtured through consistent handling and varied enrichment. Families often note the puppies’ calm demeanor at home and enthusiastic energy during field excursions. His selective approach aims to preserve the breed’s hallmark balance of intelligence and athleticism, and he stays connected with fellow breeders through community events focused on the breed.
