We are now adding names to our 'Puppy Waiting List' (see below for details)  

... please note that all potential homes will be vetted.

 

All our pups are whelped in our home, so both mother & pups receive constant attention and care throughout the birth and the subsequent important early days. Puppies are handled from birth and everyday thereafter … well-socialised, happy, bold and confident pups are the result of the time and effort given to them during their early weeks.

 

At around three days old puppies are checked over by our Vet to ensure they are healthy, and in accordance with the regulations connected to the Animal Welfare Act 2007, they are also docked & DC at this time.

 

As Members of The Kennel Club Accredited Breeders Scheme, all of our pups will leave at the minimum age of 8 weeks and with the following:


Kennel Club Registration Documentation

Contract of Sale

Six weeks Puppy Insurance via The Kennel Club Healthcare Plan

A copy of the 5 generation pedigree

Advice and Guidance notes on:

Socialisation,

Future Training (inc House Training),

Feeding,

Exercise,

Their worming programme to date; all are wormed with Panacur at 2, 5 & 8 weeks of age.

 

All pups are Front-lined prior to leaving.

 

Pups will also leave us with Techni-Cal Puppy Food Packs and/or Burns Puppy Food Packs  

 

We also provide a full "back up service" should you need our advice or help at any time.

 

 

From the 1st July 2007, to reserve a pup (to be added to our Puppy List) we will require a small non-refundable deposit towards the puppy purchase; £50.00 This deposit will be refunded by us should we be unable to provide you with a puppy of your (previously agreed) preferred gender and/or colour when the chosen bitch whelps. Alternatively you can register an interest in a litter without a deposit, but this does not place you on the preferred list for a puppy.
  

Please contact us to discuss your requirements; email: bramble243@msn.com

 


 

 

 

 

As a member of 

The Kennel Club Accredited Breeder Scheme

all Spaniels are:

  • Eye Tested under the KC/BVA/ISDS Eye Examination Scheme

  • Recorded on The Kennel Club registration system as DNA Profiled

  • Registered and Microchipped


The Kennel Club Accredited Breeder Scheme

   

 

The aim of the Kennel Club Accredited Breeder Scheme is to provide a framework to encourage the breeding of healthy, well-adjusted puppies. It lays down a series of requirements that breeders must follow in order to participate in the scheme.

 

Accredited Breeders agree to:

 

1. Ensure that all breeding stock is Kennel Club registered.

2. Hand over the dog's registration certificate at time of sale if available, or forward it to the new owner as soon as possible. Explain any endorsements that might pertain and obtain written and signed confirmation from the new owner, at or before the date on which the dog is physically transferred, that the new owner is aware of the endorsement(s), regardless of whether or not the endorsed registration certificate is available.

3. Follow Kennel Club policy regarding maximum age and number/frequency of litters.

4. Permanently identify breeding stock by DNA profile, microchip, or tattoo. (N.B. After the first year of the Scheme’s operation, all breeding stock will be required to be DNA profiled.)

5. Make use of health screening schemes, relevant to their breed, on all breeding stock. These schemes include DNA testing, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and inherited eye conditions.

6. Socialise the puppies and provide written advice, in the Puppy Sales Wallet, on continuation of socialisation, exercise and future training.

7. Provide written advice, in the Puppy Sales Wallet, on feeding and worming programmes.

8. Provide a written record, in the Puppy Sales Wallet, on the immunisation measures taken.

9. Provide reasonable post-sales telephone advice.

10. Inform buyers of the requirements and the recommendations that apply to Kennel Club Accredited Breeders as well as the existence of the complaints procedure.

11. Draw up a contract of sale for each puppy and provide a copy in the Puppy Sales Wallet.

  

In addition to the above requirements, it is recommended that Accredited Breeders should:

  

1. Make sure that whelping facilities accord with good practice.

2. The contract of sale should clearly lay out to the buyer the nature and details of any guarantee given (e.g. time limit) and/or any provisions for refund or return and replacement of puppy. If endorsements are being used the contract should also explain why these have been placed and under what circumstances they would be removed (if any). The contract should be signed and dated by both breeder and purchaser, showing that both have agreed to these terms.

3. Commit to help, if necessary, with the re-homing of a dog, for whatever reason, throughout the dog's lifetime.
