Who We Are
Meet the Fikes Family
At Happy Tails Kennels, we’re more than just breeders—we’re a family with a passion for Cocker Spaniels! Located in Wellman, Iowa, the kennel is run by the Fikes family, and every member plays a role in raising happy, healthy puppies.
Our love for Cocker Spaniels started as a family dream and quickly grew into a lifelong commitment. With their gentle personalities, playful spirit, and ever-wagging tails, we knew this breed was something special. What began as a small family endeavor has blossomed into a trusted breeding program where each puppy is raised with love, care, and plenty of belly rubs before they find their forever homes.
Raising puppies isn’t just a job—it’s a family affair! From the youngest to the oldest, every Fikes family member has a role to play:
🐾 Morning Puppy Snuggles: The best way to start the day! Our little helpers ensure each puppy gets plenty of love and socialization.
🐾 Playtime & Training: We introduce basic manners, fun activities, and early socialization to ensure each pup is well-adjusted.
🐾 Health & Wellness: We take every precaution to ensure our puppies are happy and healthy, working closely with veterinarians and following the best nutrition plans.
🐾 Finding the Perfect Home: We love connecting with families who are as excited as we are about welcoming a Cocker Spaniel into their lives.
Because we’re family-run, every puppy raised at Happy Tails Kennels is treated like one of our own until the day they go home with you. We believe that raising a dog should be a joyful, rewarding experience, and that starts with a breeder who truly cares.
Whether you’re looking for a loyal companion, a playful family pet, or a snuggly best friend, we’re here to help you find the perfect match. When you bring home a Happy Tails puppy, you’re not just getting a dog—you’re becoming part of the Fikes family tradition.
