23.01.2022 Due to no fault of his own Beckham is available to his new perfect home. Beckham was our keeper from Alice’s litter and is currently 11 weeks old and had two vaccinations and a microchip. To enquire about Beckham please ensure you send us a message with a little bit about yourself and why you think he’s suited to you. ... Please note he will only be sold on limited register meaning no breeding

13.01.2022 Thankyou to everyone who has enquired about our puppies in recent months and we are sorry we haven’t had a chance to respond to everyone. We don’t have any older dogs or puppies available at this stage. However our next litter all going to plan will be in December 2020. We don’t keep waiting lists and due to the amount of enquires we are receiving our pages inbox is filling and we aren’t getting to read a lot of enquires. If you wish to find out some more information about ...us it’s easier to send us an email aswell as message the page just in case we miss it. Please also remember when enquiring to include some information about your family and home before questioning prices and availability. Congratulations to all our new puppy owners and we hope to receive many updates and photos as they grow

11.01.2022 Officially three weeks old and getting cuter by the day.

08.01.2022 This is something everyone should see. When you get your 8/10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod a...round so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet. When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in. But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint. You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one. Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once. A bit of back-story: This is a baby puppy who had a knock to his elbow and wasn't using it properly, so he was taken to the vet. There is nothing wrong in these x-rays, thankfully it is a soft tissue injury and he is expected to be fine.

08.01.2022 Just sharing some puppy cuteness. **please note we do not have any puppies available at this current time and we are slowly answering all enquires. We don’t keep a wait list for future litters however are more than happy to keep in contact about any updates. At this stage our next litter isn’t planned till the end of the year.

04.01.2022 No one tells you how quickly dogs age. How one day you wake up and suddenly their face is all white, how their eyes start to seem more milky than before, how yo...u have to call their name a few more times than you used to. People tell you not to blink when you have children, but what about the dog who was with you before your children were even thought of? The dog who was by your side before you found the love of your life, the dog who jumped from apartment to apartment in your early 20’s. No one tell’s you to cherish every moment you have with them Cherish the dog. The one who’s been there through every break up and every dumb fight with your best friend. That dog who slept in the bed with you when you were lonely and made you feel safe when you left home. Cherish him, because one day you’ll take him on a walk and he’ll start to get tired before you and you’ll realize just how many years he’s been walking by your side.

02.01.2022 These are littermates - one was neutered pediatrically, the other left intact. Notice the permanent puppy-like body of the dog on the left. His head is narrow, ...his chest is narrow, his angulation is bad, he's taller than he is long because growth plates don't get the proper signals from testosterone or estrogen on when to close. This is what pediatric neuter does to your dog. It leaves them more susceptible to an incredible amount of health issues (joint issues, multiple types of cancer). Meanwhile, the only fact in favor of early neutering is to prevent unwanted litters which can be prevented by not letting your dog roam - something we should already be on top of as responsible dog owners. Dogs need hormones to grow and mature properly. Do your dog a favor and wait until he's completely matured before neutering! Dani Woodson
