An eye certificate means the breeder has had their breeding dogs examined by a veterinary ophthalmologist, to confirm they are not affected by any eye conditions which may be passed down genetically to their puppies. If relevant for the breed, it also includes running DNA tests to confirm the dog is not a genetic carrier of hereditary eye diseases, such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA). It includes breeders who have participated in the Australian Canine Eye Scheme (ACES).

About the Breeder

A little about us

I was raised around Lowchen from birth. I am passionate about ethical breeding for show, performance and pet homes. Lowchen are a part of our daily lives, enjoying our home and farm. I have had a lot of success with my dogs and even more fun. Now I get to share my passion with my children and husband.

Why we got involved in breeding

Pia Kirke of Tilcha Lowchen convinced me to show a Lowchen when I was in my final years at school and I've been hooked ever since.

Our special touch

I have a holistic approach to breeding Lowchen which allows our puppies to be robust and healthy, with resilience and confidence guiding them.
