Behaviour and socialisation
Like with human children, those early days and months of a puppy's life, with regards to health, experiences and socialisation, impact the personality and resilience of the new developing puppy brain.

Health
Our female dogs have been genetically tested with Orivet Full Breed Profile and are clear of any inheritable genetic diseases common to our breed.

Home environment
MountainView puppies are birthed in our purpose built whelping box in our open plan lounge/kitchen (yes...you read that right!).

About the Breeder
A little about us
I am a mum to three and a wife. I am a midwife that works in a Birth Centre so am around birthing mummas everyday. My downtime is a walk to the beach or gardening outside with our pooches right behind me!
Why we got involved in breeding
My ability to cope in all sorts of emergent situations led me to lend my hand to 'just one litter' with my first ever family member 'Indi'. While breeding/whelping can be very stressful, I found that I really enjoyed the quick thinking pace that caring for a birthing mumma dog and her newborn puppies gave me. It…
Our special touch
I am very friendly, easygoing and honest and feel the most important part of breeding is getting to know new potential parents of our puppies. I look forward to answering any questions new puppy parents may have and help you in making the transition for a puppy into your home a seamless event.
