Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Our puppies are raised in a loving family environment where they receive daily handling, affection and age-appropriate socialisation. They are introduced to everyday household sights and sounds, helping them grow into confident, friendly and well-adjusted companions ready for family life.
Health
The health and wellbeing of our puppies is our highest priority. Our breeding dogs are DNA tested, and every puppy is vet checked, vaccinated, microchipped and up to date with worming before joining their new family.
Home environment
Our puppies are lovingly raised in our family home, where they receive plenty of love, attention and daily interaction. They are accustomed to everyday household activities, helping them develop into confident, well-socialised and affectionate companions.
Included with our puppies
Every puppy goes home with a thoughtfully prepared puppy pack, including: * Information about your puppy * Starter puppy food * Puppy pads * Toy * Leash and collar * Comfort blanket with familiar scents
