Before breeding, I check through their breed lines to make sure I am happy that the health of the generations is good. I then DNA test all the parents that I plan to breed to ensure a good match. I am registered breeder with DogsNZ so their lineage can be tracked.
I am dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of care for my dogs and puppies by adhering to the following principles:
DNA Tested
All my dogs are tested for common genetic conditions that may be present in their breed lines.
Reason
Ensures the quality of life for puppies by preventing the inheritance of genetic conditions.
Age Restrictions for Breeding
I do not breed females before they are 18 months old, despite being allowed to breed at 12 months.
Reason
This ensures that the females are mature and healthy enough for breeding, reducing risks to their health and their puppies’ well-being.
Limiting Litters
Each female is limited to no more than 2 litters within an 18-month period.
Reason
This allows adequate time for recovery between litters, maintaining the health of the female.
Caesarean Section Approval
I will seek permission from my vet before breeding a female who has previously undergone a caesarean section.
Reason
This ensures that breeding decisions consider the female’s medical history and potential risks.
Suitable Temperaments
I only breed dogs with temperaments suitable for family pets and potential therapy roles.
Reason
This promotes the breeding of safe, friendly dogs suitable for family environments and therapeutic purposes.
Puppy Placement Age
Puppies are not placed in new homes before they are 10 weeks old.
Reason
This allows puppies to spend adequate time with their mother and littermates, which is crucial for their social development.
Toilet-Training Practice
I implement a toilet-training practice before the puppies leave for their new homes.
Reason
This helps ease the puppies’ transition to their new home, reducing stress and promoting early training.
Rehoming Assistance
I will assist with rehoming at any stage of their life if it is required.
Reason
Ensures the lifelong welfare of the dogs and provides peace of mind to puppy owners.
