Being a Responsible Breeder
Thank you so much for visiting our web site. We pride ourselves in the dogs we produce as a hobby kennel.
Ultimately, we only breed when we are looking for a show prospect and breeding to breed standard.
We do not allow home visits, as not only does it increase the chance of illness to a litter but could also affect the adults dogs. Please have a look at our Can We Visit page for further information.
We encourage you to visit us at a dog show and we will be delighted to show you the dogs we brought with us!

​

It is the breeder’s responsibility to ensure they are following their breed standard.

Prepare an adoption/purchase contract which details the breeder’s responsibilities, adopter’s responsibilities, health guarantees, and return policy.

Responsible breeders commit to ensuring all dogs they breed are provided a good home by:
​
-
Using waiting lists or other strategies to assess that there are quality homes available for their dogs before breeding.

Committing to making a good match between the owner and the dog.
-
Becoming an ongoing resource for new owners and being able and willing to take back or rehome an animal if needed for any reason at any time.
