Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
All my pups are brought up in my home with my other dogs, total of 4 at the moment. We are big on Environmental Enrichment. Very well socialised with all ages, from babies to my 82-year-old mother - they all spend hours with my 5-year-old grandson. They are used to all household noises as we are a busy householdโฆ
Health
My pups are all vet checked, vaccinated and wormed as per puppy worming schedule - 2,4,6 and 8 weeks..
Home environment
All pups live in the house with us. They are able to get outside to go to the toilet though the doggy door, so they are pretty much toilet trained by the time they leave for their forever home.
Included with our puppies
On leaving to go to there forever homes, they are given a bag of good quality dog biscuits, vet check info, a toy that has the smells of their siblings on it and have a 6 -weeks health insurance. (petcover)
