Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Puppies begin ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and ESI (early Scent Introduction) as early as day 3. This helps ensure that puppy's are learning to build resilience and confidence as early as possible. Pups will continue to be exposed to different textures and smells as well as introducing people of various ages.…
Health
The health of our puppies is at the forefront of our program. All breeding dogs will have full DNA and vet screening to confirm their health.
Home environment
Our dogs live inside with us and are part of our family. Puppies will be raised in our home where they will be exposed to all the daily noise and action. Our dogs have access to a secure yard and puppies will have the opportunity to begin learning how to use a doggy door.
Included with our puppies
All puppies will come microchipped, 1st vaccination at a minimum and regularly flea and worm treated. All puppies will be health checked by a vet before leaving for their new homes. We include a puppy check list to help get you started with socialisation, routine and all the must knows for bringing pup home. Puppies…

Mucopolysaccharidosis is a genetic lysosomal storage disease that can cause various problems including stunted growth and bone deformities. There are a few different variants of this disease that have been identified in different breeds. For many breeds there are DNA tests available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying the condition.
- Genetic Test
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a neurodegenerative disorder found in many breeds of dog. 7 varieties have been identified so far, affecting different breeds. There are DNA tests for each type, to identify whether a breeding dog might be carrying this condition.
- Genetic Test
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as ‘brittle bone disease’, is an inherited disease in both humans and animals, causing bone fragility and fracturing. As it is a genetic disease, breeding parents can be tested to ensure it is not passed onto their puppies.
