ACCREDITED BREEDER SCHEME - FIT FOR LIFE, FIT FOR FUNCTION

 

We are members of the Kennel Club's Accredited Breeder Scheme (ABS) and also members of both the German Shepherd Breed Council and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi Association and have signed up to their breeder's charters.

 

Further to these charters we have set a combined  maximum hip score limit for breeding at 15 and will only use dogs with elbow scores of 0 or 1.  All our dogs are currently microchipped or tattoo'd and all breeding stock are DNA profiled.  We also ensure that all puppies go to their new homes with their paperwork, microchipped and have a certificate to prove they have been assessed as healthy by our vet.
