About Us
Who we are!
Here at Kaleidoscope, we have been involved with the showing and rearing and health of this wonderful breed for over 20 years. We are located in Rochester, New York. As the owner, I have been involved in the National breed club, the Field Spaniel Society of America since 1999. I have served on the FSSA Board, and have been a member of the Health Committee for over 17 years, and served as the Health Committee Chair for 7 years. The health of this breed has always been a primary focus and very important to me. I enjoy showing my dogs in conformation, and hope to expand on my activities to other venues as well when time allows. I mostly enjoy however, just having these dogs as my companions, something these dogs are very skilled at.
A well guarded secret!
After researching this breed over 20 years ago. I acquired my first Field, and never looked back. They are a wonderful breed! This pic is of my first Field Spaniel, CH Gooseberry's Kezia Zoe. Zoe always went camping with me up in the Adirondacks, and rode in my canoe and kayak and went fishing. She loved that most of all. They love their people, and love to be with them in whatever they do.
Longevity has been a blessing.
Health is a priority here at Kaleidoscope Fields. This girl was from my first litter, and lived to over 16 years along with her sibling. This was CH Kaleidoscope's Rising Sun "Asia" A lovely girl with a loving temperament. No one can guarantee a long life, but with the exception of a few health issues, I have been lucky with my dogs. That said, I always only bred dogs that passed all health clearances. In my last 2 breedings, I did use a stud dog that did not clear hips. However, do to the fact that he was only mildly subluxed on one side, but passed all other clearances, I made the decision to use him as my feelings were that we have some issues that are far more serious, like late onset seziures, and auto immune hemolytic anemia. I was confidant in this boy's pedigree, and was confidant in the health of this boy. I believe in being honest, and sometimes we all must make choices to the best of our ability.
