Our Breeding Practices
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. Puppies are very receptive to social learning from birth to eight weeks and they need to be exposed to different…
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. The same certificates have been provided to us for any stud dogs we use. Our puppies come with a vet check certificate of wellbeing, 6-8 week vaccinations, microchipping…
Home environment
MountainView puppies are birthed in our purpose built whelping box in our open plan lounge/kitchen (yes...you read that right!). Our girls are very much part of our family of five and want to be with us and show us their babies. Once the three week old pups are more mobile in the whelping box, the puppy living…
Included with our puppies
We will be in communication regularly with puppy updates and pictures. For those local, we don"t encourage visitation before 5 weeks due to the risk of parvo and other bacterial contamination. We strictly adhere to shoes off and hand washing in the early days ourselves. All of our puppies are given a puppy pack…

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.
