Thanks for visiting our site. It's an exciting time at Wil-Orion as we celebrate 40 years of breeding, training, and exhibiting English Springer Spaniels. We take great pride in our breeding program, our goal having always been to honor the rich heritage of these dogs as companions in the field and home.
We are a family operation – now four generations of owner-breeder-handlers – who are committed to making a lasting, positive contribution to the breed. Across our 45+ year history we have produced well over 100 champions, with dozens of standouts going on to multiple breed, group, specialty, and best-in-show wins. Many of our dogs have also excelled in agility, obedience, field trial, and therapy work. Over the years, our dogs have become the foundation for several kennels, including CrownRoyal, Cedarwood, Spellbound, Springbrook, Springwest, Tagalong, McD's and Hirdler Hill.
Our focus has always been to produce dogs conforming to the breed standard, maintaining correct type and sound temperament. This focus has resulted in strikingly sweet, healthy and handsome dogs, well-balanced in appearance and with easy, flowing movement. All (usually sooner than later) have warmed ours and their owners' couches, and most have successfully charmed their way into the softest beds. Which is just as it should be.
