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.
