MIPAL KENNELS ENGLISH SP SPANIELS
BREEDING SPRINGERS SINCE 1995 AND THE HOME OF KIWI
WELCOME TO OUR SITE
WE ARE A FAMILY BASED KENNEL WHERE WE HAVE BEEN RAISING ENGLISH SPRINGER SPANIELS SINCE 1995. OUR FIRST DOG KELLY IS NO LONGER WITH US BUT HE GAVE US ALONG WITH KASI OUR TOP DOG IN 2000. KIWI WENT NUMBER 2 IN CANADA AT THE AGE OF 5 IN 2000 AND NOBODY BELIEVED HE COULD DO IT. KIWI WAS ALSO THE NATIONAL SPECIALTY WINNER IN ITS SECOND YEAR OVER 57 OTHER DOGS SHOWN BY MYSELF ON A SWELTERING HOT AUGUST DAY.
WE TAKE PRIDE IN HAND RAISING OUR PUPPIES AND USUALLY HAVE ONE LITTER A YEAR DEPENDING ON LIFE. WE CURRENTLY HAVE OUR OLD GIRL KASI AT THE AGE OF 13 WITH HER GRANDDAUGHTER ADRIENNE (CH MIPAL KASI'S IMAGE) AND PARKER ( CH MIPAL MAUI MOCHA PARKER) WHO IS FROM KIWI TO ADRIENNE AND 18 MONTHS OLD.
THE HUMANS HERE ARE GORDON SHANNON SAMANTHA AND BILLIE. WE ALL TAKE A PART IN RAISING OUR DOG MEMBERS AND NEW PUPPIES.
WE ARE BASED IN RED DEER ALBERTA EXACTLY HALF WAY BETWEEN CALGARY AND EDMONTON ALBERTA SO A VERY CENTRAL LOCATION.
AND SPEAKING OF KELLY AND KASI THATS THEM ABOVE
THE PICTURE BELOW IS OF KELLY SR LETTING KELLY JR( CH MIPAL MASTER GUNNERS MATE) CLIMB ALL OVER HIM AND NOT CARING IN THE LEAST. KELLY WAS ALWAYS WONDERFUL WITH THE PUPPIES AND NEVER ONCE DID A MEAN CORRECTION. HE WOULD GIVE A GENTLE NUDGE OR LOW GROWL TO LET THE PUPPY KNOW HE HAD HAD ENOUGH. HE WAS MY GENTLE OLD MAN THAT I LOVED.
HE HAS BEEN GONE FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS NOW AND IS MISSED SO MUCH. HIS LEGACY LIVES ON IN ALL THE PUPPIES THAT HE PLAYED A ROLE IN DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY
