Our Breeding Practices

Behaviour and socialisation

We raise our dogs and puppies at home, taking extra precautions until they are fully vaccinated. We utilise relatives with their children to socialise our puppies to get them used to lots of human contact and interactions. I am lucky to live a stay-at-home lifestyle so I time to spend with my dogs and attend to…

Health

All our dogs and pups are vet checked with up to date and available certification records including worm/flea/tick prevention etc. We regularly exercise them, and our puppies will only be socialised around other dogs who we know to be healthy as an extra precaution and only once they have been vaccinated. We feed…

Home environment

We live in a large family home approx 10km outside of Adelaide centre with nearby access to parklands, beaches and vast countryside with lots of walking trials. Our dogs roam everywhere in the house and we have converted one of our bedrooms into the puppy room during whelping. We never leave our dogs outside or…

A little about us

I am originally from Finland where I believe standards of breeding are high and far advanced in comparison to the rest of the world. I used to work and travel globally for a major international company but now I have settled in Australia with my husband and proudly fulfilled my dream of becoming a dog breeder,…

Why we got involved in breeding

My neighbour back in Finland in 1982 introduced me to their Chow Chow dog which they had brought over from the UK - I instantly fell in love. I bought one soon after as a pet and learned all I could to know about them, their breed and temperament from speaking with lots of other breeders at the time and I knew I…

Our special touch

I'm passionate about pedigree research having now almost 200,000 chows around the world on my database. I spend a lot time also reading and studying breed specific literature. Health related topics are very close to my heart.
