All dogs, can suffer from health issues. This is why health checks are so important. Listed below are a list of vital checks .

Hip Dysplasia

Elbow Dysplasia

DM (Degenerative myelopathy)

It is imperitive that any Dog that is to be bred from is screened against hereditary problems within the breed. All of our dogs have been hip and elbow scored with BVA or ANKC.

Breed type is essentially the whole of the characteristics that are typical of a breed.

It is our job as breeders to not only breed healthy dogs of sound temperament, but to also breed dogs fit for purpose. So we can find the strengths and weaknesses within individual dogs to make calculated breeding decisions (such as not putting weakness with a weakness) to then improve on the breed. Simply putting two dogs together and hoping the puppies will turn out like a breed standard isn't enough. If a dog is not built right then it can not move right... and if it can not move right then it can not in turn do what it was bred to do.

Breeding for temperament has several advantages over other breeding goals, such as appearance or performance. A dog with a good temperament is easier to train, socialise, and bond with its owner and other people. It is also more adaptable to new environments, situations, and experiences. Furthermore, dogs with good temperament are less likely to develop behavioural problems and health issues, leading to a better quality of life for the dog and the owner.
