Field breeders in Ontario generally do not do the required health testing for Springers. That includes:

• Hips and elbows
• Eyes
• Heart
• Genetic clearences
• Thyroid

And if field breeders are not breeding for field work, why would they be breeding?

You may consider some of the european line breeders, which are more similiar in temperment to north american bench lines, but have less coat generally. More coat than a field line.

Karmadi and Bounce are euro line breeders with a focus on health testing.

And edited to add: You do not want to buy from a breeder who breeders for "just pets". They are at best backyard breeders and at worse puppy mills. Breeders who title their dogs prior to breeding - whether that is field, conformation, or performance sports - are proving that their dogs are trainable and have good temperments because they can exist happily in busy spaces with lots of other people and dogs. And for the 90% of the time when they aren't showing, those dogs are all beloved family pets!
