Dedicated to a Healthy Legacy

Eagle Acres is a small family owned hobby farm on the outskirts of Eau Claire in western Wisconsin. I, Kristin, have been in love with animals from a very young age and they have always been a part of my life. I majored in Animal Science in college, have worked in several animal shelters, fostered countless dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, ducklings, and so many more. Even while in the US Navy, I quickly found the local animal shelters to donate my services to, babysat for other peoples dogs and saved every lost/hurt animal I could.  I find a lot of joy in raising baby animals up to be as happy, healthy, confidant and prepared for the next chapters of their lives as I can. I have been breeding spaniels for over 10 years now, and absolutely love every minute of it. My family helps with all aspects of raising and caring for our dogs and puppies. 

At Eagle Acres, our English Springer Spaniels, and American Cocker Spaniels are pets and beloved members of our family. All the dogs live in the house with us. They take over the couches, sleep on our beds, go to obedience school, help with farm chores, get to run in the countryside, go for car rides and more. 

All of our dogs are genetically tested through Animal Genetics for inheritable diseases such as PRA, PFK, AMS, FN, DM, Fucosidosis, Prcd. EIC, and merle. 

We are working on x-rays for OFA or PennHIP evaluations.  

We are with the puppies from the very first breaths they take; and hold, love and care for them daily until they are ready to join their new families. The puppies are born and raised in our home. We do early neurological stimulation (ENS) from days 3-16. At about 3 weeks old the puppies begin to eat mash and at 4 weeks old they are ready to start puppy preschool. We allow the mothers to wean the puppies in her own time and never prevent her from being with her babies when she needs to. By 6 weeks old the puppies will have met the other dogs in the pack, be exploring the house, and even going outside. The puppies will continue to learn new skills and be exposed to new things until the time that they go home. It is very hard to let our babies go, but when we see the excitement and smiles from their new families we know that it is all worth it.
