Puppy Contract and guidance

image50

We have an application process and a WAITING LIST

Buying a puppy should not be easy, research and time taken before making a decision.
Please be aware that we are really busy folks, not always free to take random telephone enquiries during the day.  

There is a simple reason we do not advertise a telephone number. 

We prefer to make initial contact with you by emails (usually in the early morning or late at night).  

Once ALL our routine work with the animals is complete. 


Once you have qualified for one of our puppies we are then very happy to discuss any finer points;  

  • by telephone at our convenience (we may be tied up cleaning, dog training, teaching etc.)
  • or even better, during your personal visit, 
  • or if you are really not able to visit us,  by using Skype or WhatsApp, I can show you the pups and dogs on live video feed during our conversation.  

Remember that no animal, except humans, can help themselves, so if I am talking to you on the phone or even in person, my own animals are not getting my much deserved attention. 

Please be patient, but we also value your persistence with reminder emails, as I do not have a computers memory (hence the email communication request).

TEXT and Whatsapp are great alternatives to telephone calls especially as we are in a bad mobile reception area.   


You will recieve our telephone number once we have your application. 


Before you complete our Application form please ensure you have read our Puppy Sale Contracts at the bottom and you can download them too.

Puppy Information

What do we provide and do?

Puppies are born and reared in my busy house. 

They are de-wormed every 2 weeks.

From 3 - 4 weeks of age they are started on a high quality Human grade, 

raw natural diet of mince from various species (lamb, beef, turkey, chicken, tripe etc) and Lidl’s full fat yogurt.
at between 5.5 and 6 weeks old they are given smashed up RAW chicken Carcasses

 to simulate what the mother would do by chewing, swallowing and then regurgitating for her pups, 

at about 6 weeks, we also offer a 60 to 80% meat kibble 

(we don’t like this, but we know some folks don’t like the idea of feeding a natural product like raw meaty bones),
The pups are vet checked at 8 weeks just before you collect them.
The pup will be Titre tested at 7.5 weeks to assess their immunity to Parvo, Distemper and Infectious Hepatitis, this Titre level will offer a guide as to when the puppies will require their first vaccinations and will hopefully allow you to take your puppy out and about, with reduced risk, much sooner than normal.  
They are microchipped,
They come with a pedigree of each parent.
4 weeks free insurance,
sufficient food to last four days,

 and something that smells of Mum and siblings.
Extensive Puppy Instructions Manual including links to training website and videos.

Please note all my puppies come with a puppy contract of sale and are NOT sold for breeding.

We have a lifetime commitment to our puppies and will always, if asked politely, provide you with FREE, full after sales advice and support.
However, you must inform us if there are any health or training issues with your puppy.
We cannot help or improve if you keep us in the dark. 


Also our puppies MUST be returned to us, if you can no longer keep them, as we like to know where our puppies are!!
A Guarantee that I will take back your puppy/adult dog, for re-homing if you can no longer keep it, regardless of age, circumstances, there will be no compensation given after the first 7 days.  
Please note that we cannot guarantee (nobody can) if this pup will by Hypoallergenic (not trigger allergy reactions).  

But we are happy to take the puppy back if you are purchasing it because of the potential to be hypoallergenic and it still triggers allergic reactions, in this instance alone, the full purchase price refund if you return the dog in good mental and physical health within 14 days. (see the puppy contract for more details on this).

My Puppy Contract

To protect the owner and the breeder and of course the puppy itself,  it is recommended by the Kennel Club, the RSPCA and the Dogs Trust to have a written contract.


We also have our own more appropriate puppy contract, to protect the dog itself, which you will also be required to sign prior to taking your puppy home. 


Please read it now.  

Do not place deposit until you have read this agreement.
