Roger And Lavonne Schmitz

Roger And Lavonne Schmitz raise English springer spaniels in Newfolden, Minnesota, serving northwest Minnesota near Fargo. They have been involved with the breed for many years and participate in American Kennel Club events while maintaining regular health testing for hips and eyes.

Puppies live indoors and are socialized daily, enjoying supervised playtime with family members and farm animals on their rural property. Each dog passes through puppy kindergarten and basic obedience training before joining its new home. Roger and Lavonne draw on a lifelong appreciation for working dogs, and their lines include several field champions. Families often note the spaniels’ gentle temperaments and eagerness to learn as hallmarks of the breeding program. Their dogs reside in a climate-controlled area during winter months and have access to outdoor runs when weather permits. Ongoing support and follow-up conversations help place each puppy in a family that matches its energy level and lifestyle.
