Our Breeding Practices

Behaviour and socialisation

The pups are very well socialised with our many grandchildren, and are therefore used to being around children. They are handled constantly, and grow up in a household environment, so are very used to normal household noises. They also begin their toilet training prior to leaving as well.

Health

Our Cocker Spaniel parents are DNA tested for genetic diseases by Orivet. All pups will come wormed, microchipped, and with a vet check, as well as 6 weeks pet insurance.

Home environment

The pups are raised on a suburban property, starting inside in a whelping box with air conditioning and heat lamps. As they get older, they have access to a big backyard which is fenced off, as well as play pens for stimulating enrichment activities.

A little about us

We are a mother-and-daughter breeding team with a lifelong involvement in pedigree dogs. We breed on a small scale, prioritising health, temperament and breed type. Our dogs are regularly recognised for their quality under specialist judges and also enjoy active lives in a range of dog sports. Puppies are raised…

Why we got involved in breeding

Breeding is a family tradition for us, with generations involved in breeding and showing dogs. We remain engaged because we believe we are custodians of the breeds we love, with a responsibility to safeguard their health, soundness and temperament for generations to come. Our dogs are family — our hearts on a lead.

Our special touch

Our puppies are raised as part of our family and grow up in a busy home environment alongside children. They are exposed to everyday sights, sounds and handling from an early age, helping them develop into confident, well-adjusted companions.
