My pups do not leave me
until they are
at least 8-9 weeks of
age, and more usually they are at least 10
weeks of age. (If you are ever offered a pup
from somebody who is selling them under 8
weeks of age, walk away! the pup is not
physically or mentally ready to leave for
it's new home at that age, and you may end
up with a problem dog which has either
health issues or psychological difficulties
as a result, and above all, it is immoral
for somebody to let such a tiny breed leave
at that age, they are obviously not breeding
for love, and obviously do not have the time
or patience to do right by the litter. The
chances are that the litter may well not
have been looked after properly from birth,
or even conception, they have probably never
seen a vet, and are probably not wormed
properly (if at all). The longer a pup stays
with
it's mum and
siblings, the more confident, healthy and
ready it will be.
If my pups are not
ready at 9 weeks of age, whether due to
their size or because I feel that they need
a little longer with their mum, then I will
keep them as long as necessary until I feel
confident that they are ready for the big
wide world outside. I do feel that 10 - 12
weeks is a good age for a small breed pup to
start integrating with their new family, and
is both mentally and physically capable of
taking on the new world that is being
offered to them by their new owners.
For your own Peace of Mind, I provide as
standard, 4 Weeks Free Insurance
with every pup. This has to be the most
responsible way to sell a pup, and it gives
peace of mind to the new owner and to
myself, the
breeder.
My pups are Wormed and Flea protected
correctly to date using veterinary products.
You will receive a complete record of the
date undertaken, weight of pup, products
used and amount used. My pups are always
born and reared in my home, without
exception, and are introduced to many
household and outdoor noises and are well
socialised with other adult and young dogs
of different breeds. Toilet Training is
initially to Toilet Pads (I have been using
washable, reusable toilet pads for years and
they are the bees knees). I start getting
them used to going outside to toilet
(weather permitting) before they leave also.
I provide as
Standard with every Pup sold, a
Puppy Pack
which includes:-
Vet Checked at
least twice
Fully Vaccinated with Signed/Stamped
Veterinary Vaccination Record
Microchipped and
Registered to the New Owner
4 Weeks Free Pet Insurance
Kennel Club Companion Registration

knitted Jumpers, T-Shirts, Winter Coats,
Jackets and such like to keep your new pal
in trend and warm at very competitive
prices.
Lifetime advice after care is offered and
provided to all new owners if required. As
my main objective is to provide my new
owners with happy, healthy, sociable and
confident companion pets, I am afraid that I
am not able to provide any advice on
breeding, I just do not have the time to
hold people's hands throughout the whole
breeding process, there is far too much that
you need to know. I have been breeding for
many years, I know that I also had to start
somewhere, but what I know, and what I still
do not know, takes years of learning, if you
want to do it properly, I cannot possibly
just hand it all on a plate within a half
hour conversation, there is just far too
much that you need to be aware of if you
wish to embark on breeding. Much as I would
love to spend hours on the phone discussing
breeding, my own dogs and my own breeding
keeps me extremely busy from the second I
open my eyes in the morning, to the second
my head hits the pillow. So if you do
wish to breed, I suggest that you obtain
many a good book, speak at length with your
own vet, and please tell me what your plans
are because I can then provide you with the
most suitable pup with breeding potential.
Yes, I will sell my pups to people wishing
to breed, but, PLEASE be honest with me from
the outset. If I know you wish to breed at a
later date, whether it be just one litter,
or if you are an experienced breeder looking
to enlarge your gene pool etc... Just Tell
Me!!! I do not bite... If you are deadly
serious about this, you need to ensure that
your new pup has the potential to breed
successfully, otherwise you are wasting your
time, and starting off on completely the
wrong foot. And if you know that you want to
breed and tell me otherwise, I then sell you
a pup that may be too small for breeding or
there may be some other reason why the pup
should not be used for breeding, you are
then putting your dog's life at risk and the
potential pups' lives at risk, not to
mention the cost of dealing with breeding
problems. Insurance will NOT cover you for
ANY illness/injury/Loss/Death etc... as a
result of breeding, so you could end up with
a huge Vets' Bill and no pups and/or no
adult dog to show for it. So, PLEASE BE
HONEST WITH ME!!!! and I will help you
choose the best pup for your own
circumstances. But you need to help
yourself also, I cannot help you if you have
no intention of researching/reading/learning
about breeding in great detail before you
start, I cannot help you if you are a
planning to breed with absolutely no
intention of being at home for your pregnant
girl (if you work full time, if you take
regular holidays or time away etc etc..) I
do not have the time to pick up the pieces
when things go wrong for you because you
were irresponsible. So, I say again, PLEASE
be honest with me!! and I will help you
choose the perfect pup..
A Non-refundable deposit of £150 will secure
your chosen pup until s/he is ready to
leave. My pups are very happy, healthy, well
adjusted, well socialised pets.
I encourage Viewing the pups at my home to
see them in their own environment with mum.
My dogs and pups are Bred
and Brought up with experience, knowledge,
care and love. Be confident that I am a
fully licensed breeder and I strive to breed
pups for excellent temperaments and health
with round the clock human companionship and
care.
Other Notes about my Dogs
I will not breed from a dog that is not
100% fit and healthy and I would never breed
from a dog that may produce hereditary
problems (for example weak knee joints, eye
problems, teeth/jaw alignment problems etc.)
I treat all my dogs equally and all are
cared for with Love. They want for nothing,
have the best of everything and are well
socialised from birth. I may have a lot of
dogs compared to the average person, and
having 4 different breeds of dogs can be
seen as somewhat strange to people on the
outside looking in, but please do not judge
me badly for this. My goal in life is to
breed the perfect healthy happy pup for
companionship, and as I suffer with severe
animal allergies, I have been able to
surround myself with dog breeds that do not
affect my allergies, and I hope that my
labours of love will also help other people
with dog allergies to achieve their dream of
owning their own dog that also does not
affect their allergies. I do not have any
children, I do not socialise, I do not do
holidays, I am literally here for my dogs
24/7/365. My dogs are my life. From the
second I get up in a morning to the second I
go to bed at night (more often than not it
is early morning by the time I get to bed) I
am doing something with/for my dogs. Each
and every one of my dogs has a name, each
and every dog knows their name, and each and
every dog comes to me when called. Each and
every dog has their own food bowl and is fed
individually in accordance with their own
individual needs, even if that means giving
one something different to another. I know
exactly what and how much each of my dogs
eats, and I know exactly what each and every
dogs' poop looks like when it comes out the
other end, on a daily basis. They eat the
best food I can give them, they all have
heated beds and have lots of space in our
rural location to run and play and enjoy
life. I groom all of my own dogs, even those
that need clipping regularly, they are all
vet checked regularly, up to date with all
annual boosters, wormed at least once every
2 months, flea/tick and ear mite protected
and I spend an absolute fortune on treats
and toys, blankets and bedding for all of my
dogs. We have a tumble Dryer and Washing
Machine specifically set up for our dogs,
and they both run for a minimum of 8 hours a
day so that we can provide fresh and clean
bedding daily to all of our dogs.
My dogs and my premises
have been fully inspected by the Local
Authorities, SSPCA and local Veterinary
Practice to ensure that my Dogs are well
cared for and reach the minimum standards
required to become a Licensed Breeder, and I
am proud to say that we more than passed
with flying colours on all counts (in the
words of my vet on our 2015 and 2016 Licence
Inspection "Everything is being done to
Perfection")
All of my Dogs are
Pedigree and I also have some which are UK
Kennel Club Registered. I mainly have
Pedigree pups available for sale as pets
(not for showing purposes) and occasionally
have KC Breed Register pups available also.
If you do not wish to show your dog
professionally or as a hobby, and are
looking purely for a family pet/companion,
your puppy does not need to be KC registered
on the breed register,
therefore I register them onto the Companion
Register. I can guarantee that all my
dogs are full pedigree bred. Both parents
can be viewed alongside my litters at my
home. Kennel Club Companion Registration is
approved on purchase (signed by new owner)
and Official Registration is provided to the
new owner direct from the Kennel Club.
Matings
between my girls and Stud Dogs are
undertaken under strict supervision only.
When my girls are in season, they are only
allowed exclusive access to the Stud Dog who
will be used to serve her and will be kept
out of any contact from my other Stud dogs
for the duration of her heat. I will honour
any request for DNA testing to determine the
Sire and Dam of a pup if so required, but I
am 110% confident that you will find that
the parents are who I say they are.
It is nice to keep in
touch with new owners of my pups where
possible to ensure that the pup is being
well cared for and developing well and is
settled into his new home. Photographs of my
pups as adults are always welcomed. I do get
returning owners for my pups, which is a
recommendation in itself, and an honour.
If a pup does not or
cannot settle into a new home for whatever
reason, I do have procedures in place to
either take the pup back or assist in
rehoming as
necessary. In fact, if it should be the case
that a new owner cannot keep one of my pups
for whatever reason, I would prefer that
they told me and let me help than lose
contact and wonder whatever became of the
pup that I was responsible for bringing into
this world.
Advice and Information is always
available at the end of the phone or email
if so required for any of my pups' new
owners for life.
I have an excellent relationship with my
Vet. All my Dogs are fully up to date with
vaccinations, worming and flea treatments
and I do seek veterinary assistance for any
ailments, illnesses etc. as required,
whatever time of day or night.
I am happy for my pups to
go to homes with other pets, including other
breeds of Dogs, Cats, Rabbits etc
etc
etc Although I
do expect the new owners to be responsible
in introducing pups to existing family pets,
and I am able to offer
advise on this. My pups do settle
well into new homes with other
pets, please take
a look at the photographs provided in my
Testimonials section to see just how well
they do settle.
Due to the size of a Toy
Breed Puppy, not all Breeders will allow
their pups to go to new homes with young
Children. I am actually happy for my pups to
go to new homes which have children, on the
strict understanding that Kids MUST be
supervised at all times when the pup is in
their company. Again, I do expect parents of
young children to be particularly
responsible in terms of supervising pups and
kids at all times, and will advise on this
prior to purchase. If I do not feel that the
family is suitable for the pup, based on the
chosen pups' temperament and personality and
size etc. then I have to think of the
wellbeing of the
pup first and may either prefer that you do
not have one of my pups, or ask you to
choose a different pup which I feel may be
more suited to your family life. If I do
have exceptionally small pups, or pups which
are not so extrovert, I will prefer that
they do not go to homes with very small
children or overly excitable children and
this will be noted along with the
pups ad.
Why am I happy to
consider families with young children, when
many breeders do not ?
Because I know that there are responsible
adults with young children who will only
want the best for the pup, and will do
everything in their power to ensure that the
pup and children are brought up to respect
each other. I also wanted a Chihuahua as a
very young child, and was never allowed a
dog as my mother does not like dogs. So I
know exactly how it feels to have a family
without pets and it feels like
their is
something missing in your life. In my mind,
every family should have a pet and so long
as you are responsible, there is no reason
why a Chihuahua or other Toy Breed cannot
become that pet. Toy Breed pups are not
naturally scared of children or snappy with
children, if they are brought up being
socialised around well behaved children and
are taught the ground rules from the
beginning, both child and dog can both have
a very long and happy, strong relationship
together.
My own dogs do not live
amongst children, as I personally do not
have children (my dogs are my babies).
therefore my dogs
have not been socialised with children at
any point in their lives. As such, when you
come to view my pups, if you do bring your
children along with you (which are most
welcome), please do understand that I will
not allow my adult dogs to be in the same
room during viewing. I am sure that most of
my dogs will be absolutely fine with
children, but I have to be responsible, and
feel that it is kinder to my
dogs, and to the
children visiting, that my dogs are kept out
of the way. Adult visitors are of course
more than happy to meet my adult dogs. Most
people that come to my home end up settled
on the floor allowing my adult dogs to greet
them and get acquainted, my dogs love the
attention, I often find it dificult to tear
people away from my house, they have so much
fun with my dogs.
