Finding a Responsible Breeder

What we do:

We health check all our dogs. We only breed from dogs who pass all health checks and have a sound temperament. Documentation of the health results will be given to new puppy owners of both Dam and Sire.

We spend a lot of time getting to know potential new owners and welcome all means of communication.

We welcome potential new owners to our home to come and meet mom and her litter of puppies and also my other dogs.

We are licensed by our local council and are happy to show you our licence and documentation.

We follow a detailed puppy socialisation plan during their first 8 weeks of life.

We microchip, worm & have a Veterinarian do a health check of all our puppies before they leave and supply all relevant documentation.

Every puppy has a contract which is signed by me and the new puppy buyer, detailing both our responsibilities to the puppy.

Each puppy has a full detailed information pack including: training, socialisation, feeding, exercise, worming and vaccination advice.

Each puppy is registered with The Kennel Club and all certificates/documentation will be given to new puppy owners upon collection of their puppy.

We keep in touch with the new puppy owner and enjoy seeing updates via social media.

We are always happy to give advice and answer any concerns that new owners may have.

Spend time chatting to you on the phone and will arrange a time for you to visit to meet their puppies, along with their mum and siblings, in the place where they were born and raised.
Be happy to have more than one meeting to ensure you and the puppy are compatible.
Be happy to answer all of your questions and ask you just as many to make sure their puppies are going to a good home.
Be happy to use The Puppy Contract.
Be happy to show you their Local Authority license if they are breeding and selling pets as a business (to make a profit).
Provide genuine paperwork/certificates for puppy vaccinations, microchipping (which is a legal requirement), worming and results for health test where relevant.
