Why we got involved in breeding
I got my first dog in New Zealand in 2001 when I was 21 years old. A black Labrador called Jack - CHASERS HALELUJAH. He was my inspiration to begin exhibiting and breeding dogs. I love dogs and can’t imagine my life without them. I am competitive in the show ring and strive to breed the best dog I can.
Our special touch
We strive to breed the best dogs possible utilising the experience that we have gained in showing and breeding dogs. We also import dogs and frozen semen from the best dogs from all over the world to ensure we continue a line of health pedigrees. We health test all our dogs before breeding.
