Behaviour and socialisation

Our babies are introduced to people, noises, a very noisey cat and children at a young age.

Congenital Macrothrombocytopenia (CM) is a mild disease which normally does not have any impact on an affected dog’s health or lifespan but can cause concern if noticed on routine bloodwork without knowing the cause. It is a blood disease resulting in low numbers of very large platelets. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.

About the Breeder

A little about us

We are a mother Carol and daughter team Emma-Lee and Sally. We originally started in Chihuahuas when the girls were young, when Carol fell in love with the Chinese Crested Dog exhibiting and breeding them successfully for 30 years. Whilst the girls always exhibited the Chinese Cresteds they had their own breeds with…

Why we got involved in breeding

Carol originally was a endurance rider, competing was something she did as a child, however no longer having horse but having pedigree dogs she started showing.

Our special touch

We get sent the dogs that are difficult and rehabilitate them.
