Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I made a post since getting through the holiday season. Over Christmas we added a new member to our family. Meet Tinto! He’s an American Cocker Spaniel and he is fitting in wonderfully with our goldens. Scout warmed up to him quickly but it did take Maya some time to accept him. It’s been so great having a cocker around again! Thank you

Hey friends! For those of you who follow me for cocker spaniels here is a new batch of adorable puppies by a breeder who I highly recommend. These puppies will be ready right before Christmas. Location is Central Illinois.

Our weekend was full of the outdoors! We took our family camping this past weekend and our dogs loved it! Now they need a good bath!

Look at those faces! The look of expectancy. 😂 I’m sure they are wondering why I’m standing there without opening the door. 😆

When we were looking for another golden I was the only one available to pick him out. I knew what I was looking for and chose this guy. I wanted one that looked happy all the time and would handle lots of cuddles. We definitely got the right puppy for that. He has the best personality and is always making us laugh. I would say Scout definitely loves my husband the best. He loves to give hugs!!! He does know not to jump uninvited and will let us know when he wants a hug. He will do this little hop jump to ask me for a hug and wait for me to say it’s okay. He’s so sweet!! You can’t help but love on this fluff ball!

Life with these two always looks like having them right where you are working. If I’m in the kitchen that means they will nap there. If I move to the living room that’s okay, they will just find a comfy spot there to nap. When I move they move. Goldens are people oriented and motivated!

10/02/2022

Maya and Scout were just babies when we were in the middle of our big move. They have been a wonderful source of comfort and love as we have transitioned into our new home. Goldens make great family dogs and we are so happy they are part of ours!

You ever wonder what it’s like to live in a camper with goldens? Well we spent a few months in ours and camper life was extra tight. These two fluff balls took naps right in the walkway so we had to step right over them every time we went through. Didn’t seem to bother them though as they snoozed away. 💤

This is Scout! He is always smiling and oh so cuddly! We love his personality and playful nature. He keeps growing and almost like a polar bear it seems. He likes to play ball but his favorite part of the game is wrestling Maya for it. If he’s lucky enough to beat her to the ball he will then make her wrestle it out of his mouth. It’s so funny to watch. He doesn’t mind standing to his full height to give hugs and if you don’t like to be licked than you better let him know because he loves to give sloppy kisses. We can’t wait to partner him with Maya because their puppies will be gorgeous with great personalities!

This is our girl Maya. She is the sweetest pup and the one responsible for our new love of golden retrievers. Her favorite game to play is ball. If you just whisper the word “ball” she immediately runs to look for it. She seems to think our sole purpose in life is to throw her ball so sometimes we have to hide the ball to get anything done. Maya is almost 2 so we will begin all her health testing soon in preparation for her first litter. She has the most beautiful coat so I’m sure her puppies will be the best fur balls!

Hey friends! It’s been almost a full year since I’ve been active on this page but I wanted to update you on our transition and what our page will like moving forward. Last year we moved out of Illinois in the fall and transitioned to South Carolina. It’s been a wild ride for our family but we love being back in the south! Due to our move it became necessary to rehome our beloved cocker spaniels.
Sasha now lives in North Carolina with dear friends of ours. She lives the spoiled life she deserves and gets to be with one of her very own puppies she had from her first litter. She is so loved and I’m so happy I get to see her on occasion.
Elsie stayed in Illinois with a family who adores her and gives her lots of love and attention. She’s is missed so much by our daughter as she was her special pup!
Parker now lives in West Virginia with my in-laws on a farm. He absolutely loves the outdoor chasing cows and chickens life.
We had hoped we could keep all of our pups but it just wasn’t possible. We are so thankful we found fantastic homes for them and are able to see them occasionally.

We no longer breed cockers but will be moving forward with breeding our Golden Retrievers. You’ll begin to see more and more golden content as we transition from cocker spaniels to golden retrievers. We hope you enjoy getting to know our goldens and their fun personalities. We thank you so much for all of the cocker spaniel support and those of you who have purchased one of our puppies we thank you! Keep an eye out for our fun loving goldens!

This little girl is my favorite!!!! She’s so people oriented and loves children! Her litter name is Skye.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share these adorable puppies for anyone looking for a well bred cocker spaniel. My sister has several puppies available ready to go home and she’s also got some still fairly young. Check her page out and you won’t be disappointed. Puppies are played with daily and parents are all health checked and loved well. 🥰🥰🥰

Pepper’s puppies are growing and growing 🎉🎉 I am planning on bringing them outside with some new toys to see their personalities shine! We have 3 more spots available for this litter! ☺️ Puppies go home the first week of August 🏡

Hello everyone! Recently I’ve had several of you reach out inquiring about puppies and u want to give you a quick update. We recently have moved to the South Carolina area. We will not have any litters this year as we take time to transition and settle in to our new home. However I do want to point you towards K&M Home Kennels. You can them on Facebook! We truly believe in their breeding standards and love their dogs. They just had a spring litter and they are precious!! Definitely check them out if you are looking for the perfect puppy.

This is the last little guy left! He’s very sweet and enjoys playing, cuddling, and chasing the big dogs. He will make a sweet addition to your home.

08/17/2021

“Marshmallow” and “Pickle” are still available. These sweeties are absolutely adorable. They love to play chase and of course enjoy a good wrestle. Both are ready to go to their forever homes. 🥰

08/04/2021

Meet “Pip” the sable with a lot of personality! He walks around like he owns the litter despite the fact he’s the smallest of the bunch. He’s sweet, playful, and always ready for food. Pip will be ready to go to his forever home by August 14th.

08/04/2021

We have two female and sweet “Oreo Pie” available to go to their forever homes on August 15th. These sweeties are so lovable and cuddly. 😍🥰 All puppies come with AKC papers and cleared by our local vet.

07/22/2021

These little sweeties are cuddly and almost ready to go home. Cocker spaniels typically grow to be between 24-30lbs and they are known for being great companion dogs. They love people and have friendly personalities. We would love to talk with you more about our puppies and you might just find your new best friend!

07/20/2021

This sweet lady came to love on our puppies!

We still have puppies available and they will be ready to go home August 14th/15th

These two boys are still available. We love to call them Oreo and Marshmallow. They are so sweet and cuddly. We are located in Central Illinois and excited to connect you with your next puppy. 🥰

07/05/2021

We still have puppies available. This week they have begun to use their legs and get stronger with each day! The markings on these sweeties are so cute! Will be ready August 13th.

As our small business has grown and we have begun to reach more families in search of their new puppy I began to envision a new kennel name. I am excited to announce our new name as Wine Homestead Kennels. We look forward to adding a new breed to our kennel and to serve more families and their furry friends.

03/26/2021

This is Oreo! You may remember me posting about “double-stuff” several times. He was our last puppy to find his family and I think he would agree it was worth the wait! We love to get updates from our cocker spaniel families and see how they are thriving in their new homes.

03/14/2021

Our new Golden Maya had her first visit with our vet this past week. She passed with flying colors! Excited to keep you all updated on Maya’s adventures as she grows. All of our cocker spaniels have adjusted very well to having a new friend in our home. It has brought out a whole new level of play for them to have a puppy along.

02/19/2021

We are so thankful that our pups have found wonderful homes and are all adapting well to their new environments and families. Thank you to all of our wonderful clients and friends who helped share along the way.
