Our business as Breeders

We do run a breeding business but my dogs will always come first, their wellbeing and happiness is the most important thing to our family. All my dogs are cared for to the highest standards, plenty of daily exercise and enrichment, training, grooming, washing, socialisation and of course, plenty of love.

The youngsters attend puppy training classes. My dogs also go off to fun dog shows as well as Kennel Club dog shows and we have regular visitors who help with play and exercise.

All my dogs are Vet checked yearly when they go for their booster vaccinations. All my dogs are also given a kennel cough vaccine to prevent them from picking up this ailment from other dogs whilst they are out and about. All my dogs are wormed regularly to keep them healthy.

Like any business there are many hidden costs people may not always realise such as waste disposal, business rates and taxes, insurance, vet bills, medication, licence and renewal fees, transport, litter registration - the list goes on!

Food and Bedding

We can get through £1500 of food and bedding every other month!

We use the best suppliers and this cost doesn’t include the nice tasty bits and treats that go alongside their complete food. We use newspapers to bed our puppies on as this is disposable, it’s warm and hygienic for the pups. I buy by the pallet to make sure we always have plenty on hand.

Being Licenced

Having my breeding licence means that I follow all the rules and regulations set down by the government. This covers every aspect of what I do, the care of my dogs, my kennels, my whelprooms, what age dogs are bred from, how many litters a female can have in her lifetime, hygiene, feed and how it’s stored. We are inspected annually and confident of our high standards that we can be unexpectedly inspected without notice.

Our Kennels

My Kennels are all kitted out for my dogs’ comfort and go beyond the required regulations we are bound by. All sleeping areas are heated and all kennel runs are covered so our dogs are protected from the weather.

Each sleeping area has sealed heavy duty rubber stable mats on the floors then on top of this we provide a thick layer of bedding, all cleaned on a daily basis, 365 days a year. When the weather is nice, the dogs are out enjoying several gardens we have for them to have fun in. If it’s cold and wet, we also have other heated shelters for play and socialising.

The youngsters don’t run outside for too long with the adults, whilst they are still growing and developing, we do not over exercise them.
