Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
All our dogs have beautiful gentle and affectionate personalities and we strive to breed dogs with excellent temperaments.

Health

About the Breeder
A little about us
I'm Talia! I'm a Social Worker by day, and my husband Matt is a Snake Catcher (by day and by night). We've both been animal lovers since birth and between us have a wealth of knowledge and experience in animal care, health, behaviour, psychology and training. We have spent many years volunteering our time in…
Why we got involved in breeding
Matt and I have always had a passion for animals and we want to share that with the world. Unfortunately not all animals are bred well, and not all owners are prepared for raising a pup. We want to do our part to change that! We strive to raise happy, healthy, well adjusted pups the 'Badass Breeder' way. We…
Our special touch
In addition to raising our pups the 'Badass Breeder' way, we have also teamed up with Dog Trainer and Behaviouralist, John Gatt, to ensure all our new puppy families receive the education, training and support they need to raise a well adjusted, well behaved, and confident pup.
