Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Pups are bred and raised within the home to be exposed to as much noise and home environment as possible while in the crucial socialisation period.
Health
All dogs are health and eye tested every year and raised in a holistic environment.
Home environment
All puppies are lovingly raised in the heart of the home, starting life in the bedroom and gradually moving into larger living spaces as they grow and explore. This early home-based environment helps puppies become confident and well-socialised family companions.
