Home environment

Originally we breed Standard Poodles as we owned a farm in the Swan Valley and we had the space to keep large active…

Why we got involved in breeding

When you have a farm, you have lots of animals, it's just a way of live. With that breeding animals is a normal occurance - you don't choose to do it, it just is. You're taught the right way to care for animals from a young age.

Our special touch

We have experience in breeding and diligence in forward planning, meaning we strive to ensure we plan when our dogs breed and they do so at the right time and when they are at their healthiest. We spend a lot of time with our dogs, they are part of the family and we socialise them in our everyday family life (which…
