We are Dawn and Phil, a retired couple, married and living together since 2011.   

​

All of our dogs live inside our home with us and spend their days taking part in everything we do, whether that's going for a walk around the local park or countryside, a drive in the car or simply relaxing with us at home. They never leave our side and are our loyal, furry family who never fail to make us smile every day.  

​

The guiding aims of our breeding programme are as follows; 

​

 

 To produce healthy, hardy, intelligent and temperamentally sound puppies with good genetic diversity, resulting in friendly, affectionate, confident, sociable and long lived dogs, who can adapt well to novel challenges and environments.

 

We focus primarily on health, longevity and temperament.

Our breeding philosophy is summed up very nicely in this four-part article by J. Jeffrey Bragg, a Canadian breeder of sled dogs, which we would HIGHLY recommend you read in its entirety.   

 

  

​
