Our Breeding Practices

Behaviour and socialisation

Puppies raised in a family home environment with regular interaction & socialisation with adults, children and other pets. Toilet training starts from 4 weeks old.

A little about us

Kirsten and Lilly — Mother and Daughter Team. My journey with dogs began 30 years ago, fostering abandoned dogs.
