Happylea Chinese Crested Dog

Cowra, NSW

Happylea Chinese Crested Dog accepts payments on RightPaw. What's this?

Hi, I'm Debbie N.

I am a small kennel situated at Woodstock (near Cowra) NSW and I was given my first Chinese Crested Powder Puff nearly 10 years ago, and have progressed from there. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my mentors at Dosangeles Kennel, Goolarabang Kennel, and Blackheath Kennel. Your guidance and help has been so…

Our Breeding Practices

Behaviour and socialisation

I currently have Chinese Crested Dogs & Xoloitzcuintle’s at home which the puppies will get to socialise with. When they are six-weeks old, we run ENS training, and put the pups through a stimulus course I have constructed at home (complete with a tunnel & weaving poles and more). We also ensure they are…

Health

Chinese Cresteds are most susceptible to eye diseases, and we ensure the mothers and fathers are tested for PSA and PSD - and we sometimes will test the pups as well. I am an official Orivet swabber, so I often do this for other breeders in our area. Of course, all puppies will also come fully wormed, registered,…

Home environment

All of our dogs are inside the home when they are whelped. The whelping box is inside, and Mum also has a private space to retreat to. Other dogs are separated from the pups, but are still nearby and allowed to wander around to help normalise encounters with other dogs. We have also have a huge run area outside as…

About the Breeder

A little about us

I started my breeding career with long-haired Weimaraners, although I had to change breeds after my knees gave way, and I couldn't run with them anymore! I was then introduced to Chinese Cresteds, and I met a breeder/mentor friend who gave me my first bitch, and that was the start of my journey. I still have my…

Why we got involved in breeding

I love matching well-adjusted dogs with their future families. And I love getting hands-on as a breeder. I'm always looking for ways to stimulate my dogs and improve their temperaments. I've recently been learning how to do nose work on both my breeds, and we also construct our own play equipment (A-Frames, see-saws…

Our special touch

When people buy my puppies, I've had so many people say that my Chinese Cresteds have fantastic temperaments, and this is what I always strive for with families buying my dogs. I have several people coming back for second or third dogs to add to their families.
