The Kennel Club's Assured Breeders must use the following (or equivalent) schemes.
Hip dysplasia screening scheme (BVA/KC), Eye screening scheme (BVA/KC/ISDS)
The KC strongly recommends that all breeders, both assured breeders (ABs) and non ABs, use the following (or equivalent) schemes.
DNA test - CEA/CH
DNA test - MDR1
This site strongly recommends that all dogs are tested prior to breeding for Degenerative Myelopathy. DM affected dogs do not have to be excluded from breeding, but it enables breeders to choose their breeding partners wisely. In order for a litter to be born 'risk free' at least one parents should be clear of the DM gene. However, it is up to each breeder to weigh up the pros and cons of health testing and it is up to the buyer to check this information and ask appropriate questions.
You can search the pedigree database for results, but please note not all breeders choose to have their results made public.
If you would like your own dog/puppy DNA tested, we recommend Laboklin which can be done at home with a buccal cheek swab or a small amount of blood taken from the dogs paw/nail)

BUYERS
When buying a puppy please ensure the breeder will take the puppy/dog back at any time during its lifetime should your circumstances change.
This website cannot held responsible for any health problems that may occur during your dog/puppy's lifetime.
*please ensure you ask to see the vet health check confirmation, eye examination and any other
health testing documentation mentioned in the advert when buying your puppy.
*NOTE The term 'vet health check' is when the breeder takes the litter to the vets for a general check up before they go to their new homes. The vet will weigh the puppy, check things like the heart and teeth, weigh them and maybe take their temperature, giving an overall impression of their general health on that day and highlighting areas of concern, such as heart murmurs. It is not the same as health testing either the parents, or the puppies for genetic diseases.
If you contact anyone who is advertising a puppy on here and they pass you onto someone else,
please contact me.
BREEDERS PLEASE NOTE
Please ensure you give me the details of puppies parents when advertising.
WEF from 1st August 2022 - to ensure accuracy, if you want to quote health test results in your puppy advert, if results are not available on the KC website against the dogs name, I need to see a copy of the lab report please. Please email over with your puppy advert. A mobile phone photo of them is fine as it is just for my information.
Adverts will remain valid on this page for a maximum of one month unless you contact me otherwise.
There will be a limit of three photos per advert, one of sire, one of dam and one of puppies or 3 puppy photos with one update per advert.
Once adverts are removed, if you need them re adding there will be an additional fee if you
do not have a kennel page.

HOW MUCH FOR A PUPPY?
To the person who writes an email to simply ask the price. The person who calls and after hearing a price surprisedly states: “I can buy a cheaper pup elsewhere”. I also address you; the person who doesn’t care about papers because I want “just a pet”.
No dog is “just a PET”. Behind every pure bred puppy/dog is a BREEDER. I’m using capital letters to differentiate a breeder from a pet factory or mill. A reputable breeder does not breed dogs without papers, that does not protect the integrity of the breed. Registration (papers) are records of lineage that document bloodline and allow one to research any possible health issues present in the lineage.
When you tell a Breeder you don’t care about papers what you’re really telling them is you couldn’t care less about the health of the puppy you just want the cheapest thing you can find! When you select to buy a puppy from a reputable and quality breeder, this breeder is responsible for the health of every pup ; both dogs owned and every pup they’ve sold for its lifetime.
This breeder will skip holidays, miss sleeping, and most of their personal house space has been turned into space for their dogs. The truly passionate breeder who loves what they breed, puts their whole heart and soul into it. Not only in puppies that are sold, but also in each client who owns a piece of their heart and now is a member of their extended family. This does not take into account any puppy/dog who might get sick or need extra help to thrive.
Breeders worry about their babies after they leave and will take one back without question. A breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in everything accompanied with birthing. Because that’s what life is about...In the middle of birth and death is life. The wheel that keeps turning. A breeder will do tests, echos, xrays, analysis, emergency c sections, vaccinations, register litters, research pedigrees, deworm, as well as microchip their puppies and get them evaluated by specialists.
Last but by no means least, a breeder CHOOSES the family lucky enough to have one of their puppies. Yes, you read that right.
A true breeder chooses who they sell to because they are not making money off the sale. There is no compensation that can offset the investment a Breeder has made so they need to be confident its the right fit. Many times saying more no’s then yes...A good Breeder will have different criteria for those wanting to carry on their bloodline, why?
Because breeding is not a responsibility to ever be taken lightly, it’s a lifestyle choice set aside for ONLY the few devoted people willing to sacrifice. Because a dog is never “just a pet” it’s the Breeder’s legacy, a little boy’s best friend, a little girls protector, an elderly persons therapy, a member of the family, someone’s whole world!!!
