Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Our puppies are raised in the country where they are exposed to a range of inside noises and outdoor noises to build their confidence. They are raised in a family environment with lots of cuddles and love. They have lots of toys and once they are old enough they have outside time each day in a safe area to explore…
Health
Our puppies will all have had their first vaccination, microchip, and are wormed every 2 weeks before coming home with you. All our puppies will have passed their health check at the vet before coming home with you. We conduct full DNA screening on our breeding parents, for all the relevant, testable genetic diseases…
Home environment
Our puppies are born and raised indoors with air conditioning and heating. We have a huge safely fenced house yard with a pond for swimming and lots of garden for exploring when they are old enough to venture outside.

Mucopolysaccharidosis is a genetic lysosomal storage disease that can cause various problems including stunted growth and bone deformities. There are a few different variants of this disease that have been identified in different breeds. For many breeds there are DNA tests available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying the condition.

Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a neurodegenerative disorder found in many breeds of dog. 7 varieties have been identified so far, affecting different breeds. There are DNA tests for each type, to identify whether a breeding dog might be carrying this condition.
- Genetic Test
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as ‘brittle bone disease’, is an inherited disease in both humans and animals, causing bone fragility and fracturing. As it is a genetic disease, breeding parents can be tested to ensure it is not passed onto their puppies.
