Thankyou for reading our page on champ dogs website. We only can include just a small amount here, and if you wish to see more then go to our personal website or look at our social media account .

We have owned dogs all our lives and they are very much part of our family home. None of our adults live in kennels. We do believe that dogs are better suited to living amongst us and learning how to be good well behaved pets. Of course obedience training and teaching younger puppies how to become great adults is what it's all about. We adore our pets and we cannot imagine life without them.

I am a dog behaviour consultant and happy to help anyone with their dog. I am also a dog trainer. Member of GoDT. Non aversive trainer only. I believe we can make a difference in a dogs life by food, reward training. I believe that having all this knowledge makes raising puppies to the highest standard, and sending out puppies which have been raised to the best of my ability.

We are what you call preservation breeders which means we protect the pedigree dogs that we own by breeding selectively and doing an activity with our pets to prove they have the quality they require to be then a breeding dog. Anyone can breed a dog but it does not mean they should.
I am a pet home first and foremost, please do not think we just look at our dogs as breeding dogs. The companionship they give us is everything. Im always cuddled up on the sofa evenings with dogs and I can not imagine it any other way.

I would say it's a passion more than just owning a dog as our whole life revolves around them. This gives fabulous enrichment for our adults because they are always with us, and we take them out to enjoy the English countryside. I am very big on nature and enjoying the countryside. I believe is it good for our own health to be in and around plants, trees, fields and near to the ocean. We draw energy from being in and around nature. I love taking the dogs to the river and watching them swim. I have one dog who's water obsessed and dives into deep water. Others will think more carefully before taking the plunge. But it's a joy to watch them. All of my dogs have excellent recall.

I also practise Reiki on my own dogs and can do this for others also.

By showing our dogs we prove they are of excellent standard to breed from. We are both judges at open show level.

We own/show/breed Hungarian Vizsla, Bracco Italiano. I own also 3 pet Frenchies we do not show.

I do not think I could own in my lifetime all the breeds I love because I am a genuine dog lover of all breeds. But the breeds we own are my total favourite and I couldnt imagine life with out them.

We do many tests which are not set out on the new KC health protocol. All tests are held by us and placed in a folder you can view when you visit. We do not send personal details out to anyone by email as there is too much theft of personal details. But they are all here for you to view and check through. I am also happy to scan each dog for you to see the microchip corresponds with paperwork.

We believe in natural rearing and this is certainly the way forward to having healthier puppies and healthier adults. We have diet sheets on raw feeding, we send to you via email when having a puppy and also many articles on raising natural.
I will stress that once you have a puppy it is up to you what you decide to do. But we do advocate worm counting instead of monthly worming and only treating for fleas if your dog has fleas. This limits poisons on the skin of adult dogs.

All our dogs are trained, and we show our dogs in the UK show ring and Europe on occasion.

We are very proud with the wins we have achieved with our dogs. We have had endless stud book numbers now. Making up an English show champion, 3 international champions, Swiss champion, Belgium champions, Lux, German, Holland. Plus numerous other wins. Best veterans in Europe and so on. But we are proud of the owners who have taken dogs from us and has also made up to champions in Europe.
But the most important success of all is the pet dogs living at home for 15 years. Having all the love in the world. That to us is the most sucessful dog there is.

Some of our owners do a variety of activities with their dogs. Working dogs on the beating line, field trial training. We can help you choose the right dog with working ability. Our owners have taken dogs from us and done scent work, man trailing, search and rescue, agility, obedience, showing. We enjoy all the messages coming in all the time where our dogs have gone to do something and their owners are proud. We love it!

We love it if you keep in contact with us, I know we can not expect it, but it truly makes a smile on our faces when we know how much you love your dogs.

I have passed NVQ 2 and 3 in animal care and dog grooming, plus many Kennel club seminars. Ive also attended a behavioural seminar, health seminars also and first aid course in dogs. Plus microchip course. I love to widen my knowledge in dog care. I am always looking at bettering my knowledge in dogs even though Ive been in and around the dog world all my life now.
