Before buying a puppy, please consider the following:

Have you thought about the good and bad things about owning your chosen breed?

Do you really want a puppy? Or would an older dog be more suitable?

Have you been to see an adult of your chosen breed?

Will you be able to spend time with your new dog - training, socialising, playing and exercise?

Is your garden of an adequate size AND suitably fenced?

Selecting a puppy:

Do not necessarily buy a puppy from the first litter you see.

Ask to see the mother.

A puppy should seem heavy for its size. It should smell clean, have bright, clear eyes and no discharge from eyes, ears, nose or anus.

The puppy should be at least 8 weeks old before leaving for its new home.

When you pick up your new puppy:

Make sure you are given a diet sheet detailing the puppies feeding regime

Check when the puppy was last wormed and when it should next be wormed.

Ask about insurance, as Vet bills are expensive.

Documentation should include the KC registration, a pedigree, receipt, diet sheet, general do's and don'ts.

Take someone with you to nurse the puppy on the journey home

We are occasional breeders – a litter every 2 – 3 years. Our emphasis is on quality and temperament. All our puppies are sold as pets in the first instance, although a number have successfully been shown and / or worked.
