Puppies

Because of limited space, only one or two litters are born here each year. All puppies are eye tested between 6 and 8 weeks of age and reared in the house where they become accustomed to visitors and everyday sounds and activities, helping them to grow in confidence and hopefully develop into well-adjusted adults. My main concern is to breed healthy shelties with good temperaments,  free from known hereditary diseases and as near to the breed standard as possible.  All breeding stock are hip scored and eye tested regularly.

As a  Kennel Club Accredited Breeder I fulfil all their requirements for membership of the scheme and new puppy owners are given a Puppy Sales Wallet containing Kennel Club registration certificate, pedigree certificate, Contract of Sale, health screening certificates, instructions on the care of the puppy, explanation of any endorsements, 4 weeks insurance cover and a new owner questionnaire.   

The future welfare and protection of any puppies I breed is of paramount importance to me and puppies always leave my home on the understanding that if for any reason the new owners experience a change in circumstances and the puppy needs to be re-homed, then I must be contacted and given the opportunity to either take the puppy back or assist in finding a suitable new home.  All new owners receive detailed instructions for the care of the puppy and are always encouraged to contact me should they have any worries or concerns.  There is no time-limit and I will always help in whatever way I can for the lifetime of the puppy. 

If you feel a Sheltie is the breed for you and you can offer a permanent, secure and loving home, then please do not hesitate to contact me and I will offer any help I can.
