Our standards & practices

Health testing & screening

Question. Do you health test appropriately (eg hip and elbow X-ray scoring, DNA testing), and understand the genetic issues that may affect your breed? If your breed is prone to health issues, what are they, and what testing practices do you have in place?
Answer. Yes.I have sustainable breeding strategies to promote the health of my dogs. I do not need to do health tests on my dogs as GSP's & English pointers do not have the hip & elbow problems.

Preparation & socialisation

Question. Do you ensure that your puppies are properly socialised?
Answer. Yes.

Placement & matching

Question. Is making sure your puppies go to the right homes a priority? How do you ensure they are placed in loving, responsible homes?
Answer. Yes.I have discussions with new owners about fencing on their property, where the puppy will be sleeping, discuss about older dogs they have & who will be home with puppy in the day & ages of their children to see if they can cope with a new puppy
Question. Do you have any of the following: conditions of sale, health guarantee or warranty, de-sexing agreement, a buyer questionnaire, verbal or personal interview?
Answer. Yes.My pups are vet checked at time of vaccination/micro chip. I give a feed & care information with pups & breeder support if need be after pup goes to their new home. I suggest the female puppies be desexed after their first season & a male puppy be desex after 18mth to 2yrs so that puppies finish developing & females hormones are in order after their season

Ongoing support

Question. Do you offer ongoing support?
Answer. Yes.I always support people with my puppies & for years they send update photo's & stories of what they are doing with their new pup
Question. Do you assist the buyer with re-homing an animal that was purchased from you if they are unable to keep it?
Answer. Yes.I have rehomed some gsp's as some people do not do the training I suggest such as come, sit & wait I feel these 3 commands are vital for any dog to be a pleasure to own
