We only have a small number of litters each year & therefore do not have puppies constantly available. Please check our Planned Litters/Puppy Availability page for information about our current/future litter plans. Very occasionally we may have older pups/young adults looking for suitable homes; please check our Older Dogs Availability page for more details. |
 |
As part of our commitment to the health of our puppies we health screen our dogs using all the currently recommended health screening methods: OptiGen prcd-PRA testing, OptiGen/Antagene Familial Nephropathy (FN) testing, KC/BVA Eye testing & KC/BVA Hip Scoring. We are pleased to say that all Powerscourt puppies will be unaffected with either prcd-PRA or Familial Nephropathy (FN) due to the known genetic status of their parents. |

Our 'babies' are born & reared in our busy family home. They are well socialised around all the usual household noises & activity. They are regularly handled & played with by us, our children and friends visiting. We also take our babies out in the car on several occasions to help them become accustomed to car journeys. Our puppies also get many opportunities to play with our adult dogs; this gives them every chance to learn 'doggie' skills. We also have two lovely dog friendly cats who are more than willing to play with the 'babies'! |
 |
We are dedicated & responsible Kennel Club Accredited breeders who aim to provide owner's with a healthy, happy & well socialised, quality parti-coloured puppy that they should have many years of enjoyment from. Please note our puppies are not available for breeding. We aim to have a litter when we wish to keep a puppy for ourselves and the remainder of the litter are placed in loving family homes. Accordingly, we do not have puppies available all year round. |
 |
Please note we do not keep a waiting list until have confirmation that a litter is expected. We welcome visits from would-be owners, however visits are limited to those people on our waiting list. For more information about visits please see our visiting us page. |
 |
When we do have puppies available, we aim to ensure that they go to permanent & loving homes where owners have the time and commitment to offer to a lively new member of the family. Before the puppy leaves our home, it has been lovingly reared & socialised. However, like all puppies our pups do not go to their new homes as trained, well-mannered & obedient dogs! Owners are responsible for the further development of the puppy’s personality, through guidance, training, structured rules and love! |
 |
Our puppies have healthy, happy & good-natured parents. They are reared in our home in a clean, stimulating, loving and caring environment. They are wormed fortnightly and are always given a full health check-up by our Vet & micro-chipped (chip registered in the new owner's name) before leaving us for their new homes. |
 |
Puppies are supplied with: Five Generation Pedigrees, Kennel Club Registration documents (endorsed not for breeding or export), micro-chip certificate (in the new owners name), health declaration, insurance documentation, contract of sale and a comprehensive care pack consisting of: puppy food, a puppy gift pack of toys/treats, photos of the litter (100+ photos), and a 40+ page "owners manual" containing a diet sheet & just about everything you need to know about caring for your new puppy/dog. |
 |
We have a lifetime commitment to our puppies & we actively encourage our puppy buyers to keep in touch with us & are happy to offer advice and help whenever needed. We will also take back or help re-home any of our pups/dogs should this be required at some stage in their lives. If you have any further questions or would like further information about our puppies please feel free to contact us. Further information can also be found on our FAQ page. |
