Welsh Springer Spaniel Breeders, Hastings NZ

Dana Kennels was established in 1974 with our first Welshie joining us in the early 80s. Our three boys took her everywhere with them on the farm and she was their constant companion, she was also shown and achieved her Championship Certificate. Over our long history with this lovely breed we have bred and shown Nationals Winners as well as agility dogs, working gun dogs, and of course many loyal family companions. Our first imported Stud dog came from the Slyvkin Kennels in Australia when we were lucky enough to see the litter and select our lovely boy Rhett 'NZ Ch Slyvkin Gwillym' over the years we have had three lovely boys from this Kennels and we are grateful to Sylvia and Bill for the privilege. We were among the first kennels of any breed in New Zealand to test our breeding stock for any problems of a hereditary nature and have continued to do so. We sometimes have puppies available to approved homes.
