I hold a *5* Dog Breeders licence for 2019-2021, which is the highest standard issued by councils, very few breeders have attained this star rating. As from October 2018 it is the law that anyone making a profit from breeding dogs has to acquire a Breeders Licence. Please do not support unlicensed breeders as you really do not have the security of knowing where the puppies have come from. There has been a lot of reporting in the media of imported/farmed puppies being sold from private dwellings with quite sophisticated operations being carried out. Please do not get caught out and purchase from these unlicensed establishments you may end up with a sickly puppy and/or loose your money, there are many scams being carried out to watch out for. Licencing Laws were brought in by DEFRA to safe guard buyers and ensure animal welfare. As I am a licenced breeder this gives you peace of mind that my Council's Animal Welfare Department have checked all aspects of my Home Breeding and as stated above have issued me with the highest star rating. I am a Home Breeder, with only a few stunning, health tested Show Cocker Spaniels and King Charles Cavaliers girls, which I breed from once a year, with the most handsome, good natured and health tested Miniature/Toy Poodle stud dogs. I have been breeding the lovely Cockapoo now for many years and recently the Cavapoo, as both breeds are fantastic, healthy, family dogs. I strive to ensure that the puppies I breed are of superb quality, healthy and of good temperament in order for them to go onto make the most wonderful pets. All my dogs live with me indoors and the puppies are fully acclimatised to all the hustle and bustle of family life and have plenty of family interaction so leave for their new home very well socialised. I am passionate about animal welfare and my dogs are kept in a loving, clean household and are well looked after and cared for. I have many families whilst looking for the right breeder, being recommended to me and for me this is the highest accolade as a breeder you can have. Thank you for reading and I hope this tells you a bit about me. If you would like to find out more, I am happy to have a chat about the availability of the puppies that I have coming up for sale. Follows is an email received from Gwen Bailey, as I recommend her book to all new puppy owners. She was responding to my request for brochures for her Puppy School.

How nice to hear from such a brilliant breeder. Lucky puppies indeed. So pleased to hear people are becoming more discerning. I see the other end when they have behaviour problems with a pup that was obviously farmed. So sad. Good luck with all the puppies.
