As contentious & caring breeders, we have over the number of years we have been involved with dogs, always exceeded the requirements of the scheme.  The "Accredited Breeder Scheme" was renamed in 2011 to the "Assured Breeder Scheme."

I have also studied the Dog Breeding Diploma (passed with Distinction) and the Diploma in Advanced Canine Care (also passed with Distinction).  More information about the Animal Care College Dog Breeding Diploma can be found here and further information about the Advanced Canine Care Diploma can be found here.

We have been 'inspected'!

In March 2010, we had a visit from a Breed Advisor who came to meet the dogs & us as part of the Kennel Club Assured Breeder Scheme Breeder Advisor visits. The visit was to check our compliance with the scheme and to inspect our home to ensure the living environment we provide for our dogs and puppies is to good welfare standards and that the care, safety and comfort of our dogs and our puppies is given high priority.

We are pleased to say that following the visit the Kennel Club fully confirmed our adherence to the terms of Assured Breeder membership.
