Puppies
I breed very few litters – believing as I do that the reason for breeding is to improve on what I have and to continue my breeding lines. I am a Kennel Club Accredited Breeder.
My puppies are bred primarily for temperament as I firmly believe that Border Collies should be 100% reliable and trustworthy and giving them a good start by breeding only from dogs of proven good temperament is of paramount importance. All puppies are fully health checked – with eye and hearing tests carried out at the Animal Health Trust at 6 weeks of age. This journey to Newmarket has the added bonus of getting them used to car travel from an early age.
All puppies are sold with a contract which the new owners must sign. I do not export puppies and will only lift breeding restrictions if I consider the dog/bitch worthy of being bred from and on sight of all health documentation for the other bitch/dog. My puppies are primarily sold as companions – and with no guarantee that they are suitable for the show ring.
My puppies are my responsibility throughout their lives – I chose to bring them into this world and will do all I can to ensure they have a long, happy and fulfilling life. For this reason I vet potential puppy owners very carefully – please do not be offended by this as it is as much for the benefit of the pup's new family as for the pup!
