The "split" in Springers, made so significantly obvious by the fact that the last dual championship was awarded the breed in 1938, is nothing new to Springer fanciers. One of todays top Springer breeders-and one of the most influential in the history of the breed-is Julia Gasow. In her book, The New Complete English Springer Spaniel,1994, Mrs. Gasow writes, "Many felt that this division would be the ruination of the breed, but results have proved quite the contrary. Each of the two phases has become so highly specialized that we now have English Springer Spaniel superiority on two fronts, as it were: ability unsurpassed by any other breed in field trials, and a bench record unmatched by any other breed since 1967."

II Shea Rapid Fire Ruger: AKC # SR10257504
DNA V366211-CERF EN-5217
Black White and Tan (tri)
Ruger is our main guy! I chose Ruger because he is not only a tri but the best looking stud I have seen. He has a real sweet personality. Passed dog obedience with flying colors, top of his class. Ruger's very long ears, that I love, are always getting in the water dish. He loves to sit on the front steps and watch the varmint run or fly by, then the chase is on. When it comes to breeding he is on the job. All of his pups have been beautiful and healthy. He also has Field Champion in his background to ad stamina to our pups. We sent his pups to all corners of the continental US.
Weighs 55 lbs and is 19" tall

Marshal is out of II Shea's Rapid Fire Ruger and Genilyns Truffles T Dye For. He is mostly bench (Show) bred with a little FC for stamina. He was the smallest in Truffles litter of Jan 2009. He will be able to stud at 2 years of age. We are very excited about having this pup to keep out of our beautifull Truffles. He is our hope for mini ESS in the future. I don't line or inbreed. He will not be related to any of the bitches he will be bred to. I have Trixie, she is small 15" and Kattie is small too. II Shea's Fetchen Feathers will also be bred to Marshal she is my smallest ESS bitch at 14.5" tall. Marshal is perfect, he is a black tri and should produce black tri's and Sables when bred to Trixie and Kattie.

II Shea Johnny Ringo: AKC#SR14253201
We are very happy to breed Ringo to Nellie!
He and Nellie make the best cross of smart birdy pups always liver and white or white and liver with lots of ticking, (freckles). The match is great, Nellie has real cute little pups.Ringo is Liver and White, he is a 2004 pup. He goes back to Field Champion lines that came from his grandsire and granddam. He is very agile and smart, plus his wonderful coloring is very unique, the ticking is typical of Field bred English Springer Spaniels.
