About the Breeder
A little about us
Dogs have always been an integral part of my daily life: as a child, then as a Vet nurse, and now as an exhibitor and a Behavioural Dog Trainer. I am well known and respected in the dog world for my care of dogs and integrity dealing with others.
Why we got involved in breeding
My mother and I wanted something to do together once I left home. These days, it’s still a family affair, with my daughters and granddaughters.
Our special touch
I am totally committed to producing the dog you want to share your life with. I am always here to help.
