My pups do not leave me until they are
at
least 10-11 weeks of age (If you are
ever offered a pup from somebody who is
selling them under 8 weeks of age, walk
away! the pup is not physically or mentally
ready to leave for it's new home at that
age, and you may end up with a problem dog
which has either health issues or
psychological difficulties as a result, and
above all, it is immoral (and now illegal)
for somebody to let such a tiny puppy leave
at that age, they are obviously not breeding
for love, and obviously do not have the time
or patience to do right by the litter. The
chances are that the litter may well not
have been looked after properly from birth,
or even conception, they have probably never
seen a vet, and are probably not wormed
properly (if at all). The longer a pup stays
with
it's mum and siblings, the more
confident, healthy and ready it will be.
If my pups are not
ready at 10-11 weeks of age, whether due to
their size or because I feel that they need
a little longer with their mum, then I will
keep them as long as necessary until I feel
confident that they are ready for the big
wide world outside. I do feel that 10 - 12
weeks is a good age for a small breed pup to
start integrating with their new family, and
is both mentally and physically capable of
taking on the new world that is being
offered to them by their new owners.
For your own Peace of Mind, I provide as
standard, 4 Weeks Free Insurance
with every pup. This has to be the most
responsible way to sell a pup, and it gives
peace of mind to the new owner and to
myself, the
breeder.
My pups are Wormed correctly from 2-3
weeks of age right up until they leave me
using veterinary products. You will receive
a complete record of the date undertaken,
weight of pup, products used and amount
used. My pups are always born and reared in
my home, without exception, and are
introduced to many household and outdoor
noises and are well socialised with other
adult and young dogs of different breeds.
Toilet Training is initially to Toilet Pads
(I have been using washable, reusable toilet
pads for years and they are the bees knees).
I start getting them used to going outside
to toilet (weather permitting) before they
leave also, although this is not always
possible as where we live, we do have birds
of prey hovering overhead,
foxes/rabbits/deer etc.. roaming around, so
I have to consider the immunity of the pup
before considering allowing them to take a
little trip into the garden.
I provide as
Standard with every Pup sold, a
Puppy Pack
which includes:-
2 x Vet Health Checks
Completed Puppy Vaccinations together with
the Signed/Stamped Veterinary Vaccination
Record
Microchipped and
Registered to the New Owner at no extra cost
up to 5 Weeks Free Pet Insurance
Kennel Club Breed or Companion Registration
unless otherwise stated
5 Generation Pedigree/Birth Certificate
unless otherwise stated
Purchase Receipt/Puppy Sales Contract
Diet Sheet (What to feed, When to feed, How
much to feed, what not to feed etc)
Worming Protection Records (All of my
pups/adults are wormed regularly & correctly
with Veterinary Products)
Bag of Quality Puppy Food
Fleece Blanket with mum/siblings scent
Favorite Scented Teddy Bear
I also keep in stock suitable sized crates,
puppy pens, travel crates, washable toilet
pads, and if you are that way inclined, I
also have a stock of cute little hand
knitted Jumpers to keep your new pal in
trend and warm.
Lifetime advice after care is offered and
provided to all new owners if required. As
my main objective is to provide my new
owners with happy, healthy, sociable and
confident companion pets, I am afraid that I
am not able to provide any advice on
breeding, I just do not have the time to
hold people's hands throughout the whole
breeding process, there is far too much that
you need to know. I have been breeding for
many years, I know that I also had to start
somewhere, but what I know, and what I still
do not know, takes years of learning, if you
want to do it properly, I cannot possibly
just hand it all on a plate within a half
hour conversation, there is just far too
much that you need to be aware of if you
wish to embark on breeding. Much as I would
love to spend hours on the phone discussing
breeding, my own dogs and my own breeding
keeps me extremely busy from the second I
open my eyes in the morning, to the second
my head hits the pillow. So if you do
wish to breed, I suggest that you obtain
many a good book, speak at length with your
own vet, and please tell me what your plans
are because I can then provide you with the
most suitable pup with breeding potential.
Yes, I will sell my pups to people wishing
to breed, but, PLEASE be honest with me from
the outset. If I know you wish to breed at a
later date, whether it be just one litter,
or if you are an experienced breeder looking
to enlarge your gene pool etc... Just Tell
Me!!! I do not bite... If you are deadly
serious about this, you need to ensure that
your new pup has the potential to breed
successfully, otherwise you are wasting your
time, and starting off on completely the
wrong foot. And if you know that you want to
breed and tell me otherwise, I then sell you
a pup that may be too small for breeding or
there may be some other reason why the pup
should not be used for breeding, you are
then putting your dog's life at risk and the
potential pups' lives at risk, not to
mention the cost of dealing with breeding
problems. Insurance will NOT cover you for
ANY illness/injury/Loss/Death etc... as a
result of breeding, so you could end up with
a huge Vets' Bill and no pups and/or no
adult dog to show for it. So, PLEASE BE
HONEST WITH ME!!!! and I will help you
choose the best pup for your own
circumstances. But you need to help
yourself also, I cannot help you if you have
no intention of researching/reading/learning
about breeding in great detail before you
start, I cannot help you if you are a
planning to breed with absolutely no
intention of being at home for your pregnant
girl (if you work full time, if you take
regular holidays or time away etc etc..) I
do not have the time to pick up the pieces
when things go wrong for you because you
were irresponsible. So, I say again, PLEASE
be honest with me!! and I will help you
choose the perfect pup..
A Non-refundable deposit of £150 will secure
your chosen pup until s/he is ready to
leave. My pups are very happy, healthy, well
adjusted, well socialised pets.
I encourage viewing of pups at my home to
see them in their own environment with mum
and siblings. Viewings are by appointment
only. Most viewings are arranged for early
afternoon as mornings are my busiest time of
the day with my dogs. My pups can only be
viewed once they are at at least 5 weeks of
age. Please try to keep the number of
visitors to a puppy viewing appointment to a
minimum, 2 or 3 people max would be a great
help, as suddenly being faced with a room
full of excited potential new owners can be
overwhelming for a litter of pups, viewings
need to be calm and quiet and relaxed and
happy occasions. If you bring along your
child/children, they MUST be calm, quiet and
non-excitable around the pups and they will
not be allowed to handle the pups (unless
they are sitting down on the floor and being
supervised). Please do let me know in
advance if you are planning on bring your
child/children. If you already own a dog, I
ask you please not to bring him/her/them
with you. I generally always have pups at
various stages of vaccination, or new borns
etc. in my home, so cannot invite visiting
dogs into my home for fear of incoming
infection, nor can I have them walking on
outside ground that my own dogs walk on. If
you must bring your own dog/s along with
you, please understand that I will have to
ask you to keep him in your vehicle.
If you have an existing dog that you
originally purchased from me, I would love
to have the opportunity to say hello to them
again, but they will also have to remain in
your vehicle. Please do consider this if you
are travelling on a hot day!!! I advise you
to leave the doggie at home.
I like to know where my pups are going to,
therefore I am not the sort of breeder that
can't wait to see the back of them and sells
them willy-nilly to the first person
throwing cash at me. I will keep my pups as
long as necessary in order to wait for the
right person/family to come along who is
providing a permanent, loving home. I try my
hardest to ensure that the new home is right
and suitable for one of my puppies. When you
initially contact me, can you Please provide
me with some details about yourself and the
homelife that you are offering to one of my
pups. I do not need you to write an essay,
but please do not be offended if I respond
with more questions. The future happiness
and longevity of my pups must come first
when placing them in their forever homes.
My dogs and pups are Bred
and Brought up with experience, knowledge,
care and love. Be confident that I am a
fully licensed breeder and I strive to breed
pups for excellent temperaments and health
which are reared with round the clock human
companionship and care.
More
Information about me and my Dogs
I will not breed from a dog that is not
100% fit and healthy and I would never breed
from a dog that may produce hereditary
problems (for example weak knee joints, eye
problems, teeth/jaw alignment problems etc.)
I treat all my dogs equally and all are
cared for with Love. They want for nothing,
have the best of everything and are well
socialised from birth. I may have a lot of
dogs compared to the average person, and
having 4 different breeds of dogs can be
seen as somewhat strange to people on the
outside looking in, but please do not judge
me badly for this. My goal in life is to
breed the perfect healthy happy pup for
companionship, and as I suffer with severe
animal allergies, I have been able to
surround myself with dog breeds that do not
affect my allergies, and I hope that my
labours of love will also help other people
with dog allergies to achieve their dream of
owning their own dog that also does not
affect their allergies. I do not have any
children, I do not socialise, I do not do
holidays, we don;t even get weekends or bank
holidays off, I am literally here for my
dogs 24/7/365. My dogs are my life. From the
second I get up in a morning to the second I
go to bed at night (more often than not it
is early morning by the time I get to bed) I
am doing something with/for my dogs. Even on
Christmas day, whilst the majority of the
country are tucking into yummy hot breakfast
sausage sarnies, I am out picking up doggy
"sausages", no rest for the wicked. Each and
every one of my dogs has a name, each and
every dog knows their name, and each and
every dog comes to me when called (except
Pip, lol, she is my Griffon Bruxellois Petit
Brabancon, she is my shadow, and 99% of the
time she is an absolute angel, always at my
heel, but when people come to the house, she
suddenly goes deaf and turns into a little
bugger). Each and every dog has their own
food bowl and is fed individually in
accordance with their own individual needs,
even if that means giving one something
different to another. I know exactly what
and how much each of my dogs eats, and I
know exactly what each and every dogs' poop
looks like when it comes out the other end,
on a daily basis. They eat the best food I
can give them, they all have heated beds and
have lots of space in our rural location to
run and play and enjoy life. I groom all of
my own dogs, even those that need clipping
regularly, they are all vet checked
regularly, up to date with all annual
boosters, wormed at least once every 2
months, flea/tick and ear mite protected and
I spend an absolute fortune on treats and
toys, blankets and bedding for all of my
dogs. We have a tumble Dryer and Washing
Machine room specifically set up for our
dogs, and they both run for a minimum of 8
hours a day so that we can provide fresh and
clean bedding daily to all of our dogs.
My dogs and my premises
have been fully inspected by the Local
Authorities, SSPCA and local Veterinary
Practice to ensure that my Dogs are well
cared for and reach the minimum standards
required to become a Licensed Breeder, and I
am proud to say that we more than passed
with flying colours on all counts (in the
words of my vet on our 2015 and 2016 Licence
Inspection "Everything is being done to
Perfection", and in 2017 "WE always go above
and beyond")
All of my Dogs are
Purebred/Pedigree and I also have some which
are UK Kennel Club Registered. I mainly have
Pedigree pups available for sale as pets
(not for showing or breeding purposes) and
occasionally have KC Breed Register pups
available also. If you do not wish to show
your dog professionally or as a hobby, and
are looking purely for a family
pet/companion, your puppy does not need to
be KC registered on the breed
register,
therefore I register them onto the Companion
Register. I can guarantee that all my
dogs are full pedigree bred. Both parents
can be viewed alongside my litters at my
home. Kennel Club Companion Registration is
approved on purchase (signed by new owner)
and Official Registration is provided to the
new owner direct from the Kennel Club. (NB.
I have just recently (April 2019) bred a
litter of Schnoodles, which are obviously
not pedigree dogs, their dad is toy poodle
and mum is miniature schnauzer, it is a
"breed" that I have wanted to breed for a
number of years, since I introduced my
poodles and schnauzers, but just never got
round to it, but in 2019 I decided to try
breeding a litter, and oh boy! they are so
damn cute... obviously they are not pure
bred dogs, so cannot be KC Registered).
Matings
between my girls and Stud Dogs are
undertaken under strict supervision only.
When my girls are in season, they are only
allowed exclusive access to the Stud Dog who
will be used to serve her and will be kept
out of any contact from my other Stud dogs
for the duration of her heat. I will honour
any request for DNA testing to determine the
Sire and Dam of a pup if so required, but I
am 110% confident that you will find that
the parents are who I say they are.
It is nice to keep in
touch with new owners of my pups where
possible to ensure that the pup is being
well cared for and developing well and is
settled into his new home. Photographs of my
pups as adults are always welcomed. I do get
returning owners for my pups, which is a
recommendation in itself, and an honour.
If a pup does not or
cannot settle into a new home for whatever
reason, or if you find yourself unable to
care for the dog any longer, I do have
procedures in place to either take the pup
back or assist in
rehoming as
necessary. In fact, if it should be the case
that a new owner cannot keep one of my pups
for whatever reason, I would prefer that
they told me and let me help than lose
contact and wonder whatever became of the
pup that I was responsible for bringing into
this world. Pups that have left me, are
then, by their new owner, introduced to the
outside world, they are taken to the park,
where other dogs roam, are taken to training
classes/puppy classes/groomers/public
transport, walk on public footpaths etc etc
etc where other dogs walk. As such, if you
wish to return a pup to me, I have to
quarantine the pup/adult dog before they are
allowed to have any contact with my own
dogs/pups and they cannot access any ground
that my own dogs/pups venture. The cost of
quarantine has to be taken into account when
calculating any refund.
Advice and Information is always
available if so required for any of my pups'
new owners for life. But as I mentioned
above,
I am afraid that I am not able to provide
any advice on breeding.
I have an excellent relationship with my
Vet. All my Dogs are fully up to date with
vaccinations, worming and flea treatments
and I do seek veterinary assistance for any
ailments, illnesses etc. as required,
whatever time of day or night.
I am happy for my pups to
go to homes with other pets, including other
breeds of Dogs, Cats, Rabbits etc
etc
etc Although I
do expect the new owners to be responsible
in introducing pups to existing family pets,
and I am able to offer
advise on this. My pups do settle
well into new homes with other
pets, please take
a look at the photographs provided in my
Testimonials section to see just how well
they do settle.
Due to the size of a Toy
Breed Puppy, not all Breeders will allow
their pups to go to new homes with young
Children. I am actually happy for my pups to
go to new homes which have children, on the
strict understanding that Kids MUST be
supervised at all times when the pup is in
their company. Again, I do expect parents of
young children to be particularly
responsible in terms of supervising pups and
kids at all times, and will advise on this
prior to purchase. If I do not feel that the
family is suitable for the pup, based on the
chosen pups' temperament and personality and
size etc. then I have to think of the
wellbeing of the
pup first and may either prefer that you do
not have one of my pups, or ask you to
choose a different pup which I feel may be
more suited to your family life. If I do
have exceptionally small pups, or pups which
are not so extrovert, I will prefer that
they do not go to homes with very small
children or overly excitable children and
this will be noted along with the
pups ad.
Why am I happy to
consider families with young children, when
many breeders do not ?
Because I know that there are responsible
adults with young children who will only
want the best for the pup, and will do
everything in their power to ensure that the
pup and children are brought up to respect
each other. I also wanted a Chihuahua as a
very young child, and was never allowed a
dog as my mother does not like dogs. So I
know exactly how it feels to have a family
without pets and it feels like
their is
something missing in your life. In my mind,
every family should have a pet and so long
as you are responsible, there is no reason
why a Chihuahua or other Toy Breed cannot
become that pet. Toy Breed pups are not
naturally scared of children or snappy with
children, if they are brought up being
socialised around well behaved children and
are taught the ground rules from the
beginning, both child and dog can both have
a very long and happy, strong relationship
together.
My own dogs do not live
amongst children, as I personally do not
have children (my dogs are my babies).
therefore my dogs
have not been socialised with children at
any point in their lives. As such, when you
come to view my pups, if you do bring your
children along with you, please do
understand that I will not allow my adult
dogs to be in the same room during viewing.
I am sure that most of my dogs will be
absolutely fine with children, but I have to
be responsible, and feel that it is kinder
to my
dogs, and to the
children visiting, that my dogs are kept out
of the way. Adult visitors are of course
more than happy to meet my adult dogs. Most
people that come to my home end up settled
on the floor allowing my adult dogs to greet
them and get acquainted, my dogs love the
attention, I often find it difficult to tear
people away from my house, they have so much
fun with my dogs.
