I realise I am hard to get hold of.  So why am I difficult to get on the phone?Anyone that really wants me can nag me until I  answer.  But my life is full during the day looking after the dogs to the best of my ability.  I made the decision a while back that I would not be available evening times because I would never have me time ever.  The amount of enquiries we get I could be on the phone all day and all evening.  So I have to firstly prioritise me and my health ..read more

In 2024 I read an awful lot and saw an awful lot of videos on Instagram on reactive dogs in all breeds of dogs.  It actually surprises me that dogs today are not allowed to be dogs.  Their is a big shift in the way people want their dogs to behave all for social media and humans are humanising dogs way too much, The relationship between dogs and humans has existed for as long as man could draw on caves. They depicted even then dogs living amongst humans.   Dogs are pretty ama ..read more

We say the life of a dog breeder means you work 24/7 and 365 days a year with no break.  But we have to close to have a break from phone calls etc.  Our puppies are leaving at 8 weeks and then we will be closed fully.  I have lost my mojo so to say and I need this holiday.   You can text me on 07584279384 and I will respond if I get the chance.  But phone calls now are being arranged in the new year.Yes we have puppies on the way, yes we are taking a waiting list.

I have had a few enquires recently where people think they want to buy a dog to become a breeder.  I have to say on one hand it is the most rewarding job, when we hand a healthy Baby to someone. Who will then enjoy the life with their dog and it is nice knowing that we made a difference. I would be lying if I said all is easy when it comes to breeding dogs.  Far from the rosey pictures you see on social media there is heart break. There is also many times huge costs.I was speaking to a ..read more

We all look forward to Christmas with the family but sometimes we take our eye off the dogs because there is so much going on.  Dogs end up at veterinary surgeons for eating things they should not.  So what is toxic to dogs?Chocolate contains theobromine which is deadly poisonous to dogs. But they have to eat a lot of it. Plus it depends on how big the dog is to how much it's eaten.  Contact your veterinary surgeon who will make your dog sick.Grapes - Highly toxic. Keep out of rea ..read more

We endeavour to do as many health tests as we can do and Im very pleased to say Frooti our French bulldog was graded the same as her last test 3 years ago. She is a grade 1.  We will only breed from grade 0 or 1 here, although you can breed grade 2.  But we are aiming to produce the healthiest dogs that we can do.Both Frooti and Reggie were also eye tested clear.Willow and Ripley were eye tested clear also which means they have excellent eye health. Im very pleased with my small t ..read more

Whilst Darryl and I are having a break from showing dogs, we have some good news from the show team. Shelby with Clammy just won best of breed at a premier open show, and Erin with bea just won best puppy in breed at the same premier open show.  Well done ladies.  Photo below.   I always say this but I get just as much if not more pleasure at our little teams wins more than if I went in the ring myself.  Proving we are producing super dogs for the show ring as well as gr ..read more

A big thank you to Dawn who shared with me some files which Ive added to my website.  I have many articles and always looking for more.  These can be so helpful as they are like mini books and in many cases more helpful than ones you can buy off amazon.  I know quite often people who are looking for puppies do not think much about what happens next after having a puppy.  The difficulties that come along and not many breeders are going to help you.  We are breeders who tr ..read more
