Our Breeding Practices

The puppies are raised in our family home with our 4 kids, myself (experienced breeder) and my husband (certified canine trainer) and our highly trained adult dogs. The puppies undergo early stimulation, early toilet training, crate training, manners training and desensitisation to different noises, people and…
Health
All prospective dogs are DNA tested and matched according to ensure no puppies are ever affected by preventable diseases. We only get testing that includes 200+ diseases as our personal opinion is that full breed profiles aren’t good enough for outstanding programs. We are passionate about good quality nutrition…

At this point I start taking them outside to wee on demand throughout the…
