Our Breeding Practices

Behaviour and socialisation

At Lakeview, our commitment to breeding goes beyond simply producing puppies; it’s about fostering healthy, happy companions that seamlessly integrate into their new families.

Health

The health of our dogs is paramount before any breeding takes place. Our adult dogs undergo thorough health screening to ensure they are free from hereditary conditions. This commitment to health extends to our puppies, providing you with the assurance that your new companion is starting life on a solid foundation.
