English Springer Spaniels

About Us

Who Are We?

We are a small team located on the gulf of Florida near Pensacola. We love this breed with every ounce of our beings. We are passionate, caring, and loyal (just like our dogs!). At our core, it is our mission to breed our dogs in the safest way possible and with the hope that they will grow up loved and happy with a family that cares for them as much as we do.

What Motivates Us?

The love of the breed. Ever since I got my first Springer after college I immediately fell in love. Anyone who has an English Springer will understand this. The bond they form with their families and their fun little quirks are unparalleled. Our motivation is to spread this gift with anyone who is looking for it. Our definition of success is handing off a puppy to a new owner and having that puppy grow up into a loving member of the family till the end of their days.

What Sets Us Apart

From the beginning, we have made it our goal to breed our dogs with the utmost care and attention to detail. We love each and every one of them and anyone who gets a puppy from us is considered a part of the Gulf Coast English Springer Spaniels’ family (including Katy the rescue horse!). What sets us apart from most is that we aren't in this for the money, we are in it to supply love and spread that love to anyone who is in need of it.

Carol Farmer

Hi! My Name is Carol Farmer. I was born June 3, 1959, the eighth of 10 children raised on a working farm in Pine City, New York. My love for animals started on the farm and has continued throughout my life owning horses and dogs. I started working with animals at a young age and participated in 4H (4-H Dog Project provides youth a fun and hands-on learning experience that teaches proper care for dogs). I attended college on a sports scholarship and received a BBA degree in accounting and finance. After graduating I got my first Springer, Bandit a black and white female. She was an amazing frisbee dog. She was my best friend and traveled with me throughout the United States. Throughout my travels with Bandit, I developed the inspiration behind Gulf Coast Springers and my love for the English Springer Spaniel breed.

After a successful career in accounting/administration and as chief financial officer in several industries, I made the decision and commitment to establish Gulf Coast English Springer Spaniels as a full-time endeavor. I have accumulated over 41 years’ experience with English Springer Spaniels and a true love and passion for breeding them.

Every single puppy is a part of my life and my family, and I genuinely care about each one of them and to help them find that special home that they so deserve.

I have truly enjoyed every minute of this experience, including the hard work and sleepless nights. I have met the best people through my Springers!
