HOW WE PREPARE YOUR PUPPY
BRED FOR HEALTH
Our breeding dogs are fully health
tested to ensure the best possible
start. We carefully plan each litter
to support strong, healthy and
well-tempered puppies.
RAISED IN OUR HOME
EARLY SOCIALISATION
SENSORY & ENRICHMENT
Puppies are whelped and raised in
our family home. They experience
everyday life, household sounds
and plenty of love and gentle
handling from an early age.
From around three weeks old, puppies
are introduced to different people,
sights, sounds, surfaces and gentle
challenges to build confidence
and resilience.
We use age-appropriate enrichment
to encourage natural curiosity,
problem-solving and calm,
confident exploration.

LIFELONG SUPPORT
Puppies are regularly health checked
by our vet, wormed, microchipped
and will have their first vaccination
before leaving for their new home.
We feed a high-quality, balanced diet,
to support healthy growth and
development. You will receive a
feeding guide and our food
recommendations.
Puppies enjoy short car journeys,
crate introductions and visitors,
helping them settle more easily
into their new routines.
Our support doesn't end when you
bring your puppy home. We are
always here to help you every
step of the way.
OUR PROMISE
We promise to raise well-rounded,
healthy and happy puppies, and to match and done with the right family for a lifetime of love.
