Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Our puppies are raised within a busy household filled with other animals, regular visitors and the noise of daily life. Our puppies are handled each day from birth and once old enough, have access to an enriched outdoor space to play and investigate.
Health
All of our parents have full DNA screening with Orivet and care is taken to only breed with dogs of sound temperament. Our puppies are vaccinated, wormed fortnightly, microchipped and receive a thorough vet check before leaving for their new homes. All of our puppies leave us with 8 weeks' free pet insurance.
Home environment
Our puppies start their lives in a cosy whelping box inside with mum. Once they are old enough, they have access to a large outdoor space during the day filled with toys, sticks and a lovely puppy play gym to explore the world around them. This is when we start the process of toilet and crate training. Puppies have…
Included with our puppies
Puppies will leave for their new homes with 8 weeks' pet insurance, 4kg Royal Canin food and a blanket with smells from mum and litter mates. We provide a detailed pack with puppies “instructions” and provide lifetime support.

Additional Tests

Genetic Test
This is a disease affecting the spinal cord of older dogs, initially causing wobbliness and eventually hindlimb paralysis. It can affect a wide range of breeds. There is now a DNA test that can indicated if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Physical Test
A heart certificate indicates that a breeding dog has been screened for heart disease such as DCM or MMVD. Auscultation alone is only accepted as a screening method if performed by a veterinary cardiologist or a GP vet certifying an OFA Basic Cardiac Screen. Echocardiography is an accepted screening method via GP or cardiologist.
Genetic Test
This is a serious genetic skin disease that causes flaky dry skin and footpad problems. It can occur in many breeds but is fairly common in Golden Retrievers. There is a DNA test to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this disease and could pass it on to their puppies.
Genetic Test
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a neurodegenerative disorder found in many breeds of dog. 7 varieties have been identified so far, affecting different breeds. There are DNA tests for each type, to identify whether a breeding dog might be carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as ‘brittle bone disease’, is an inherited disease in both humans and animals, causing bone fragility and fracturing. As it is a genetic disease, breeding parents can be tested to ensure it is not passed onto their puppies.
Genetic Test
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) in dogs is a type of genetic eye disease causing deterioration of the retina and eventually, blindness. There are a variety of sub-types of PRA, which can occur in various breeds. There are various DNA tests available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
