We are pleased to announce that Ruby has been confirmed in whelp by scan. This is Ruby’s second litter and we have used the same stud dog. Her puppies from the first litter were just great, from the moment of birth to settling really well into their new homes. As young adult dogs, they are all thriving, and it is a delight for me to follow their journeys with their forever families.

Ruby’s puppies are due 1st May and will be ready for new homes at 8 weeks all being well. Ruby took to motherhood extremely well last time, nurturing her puppies superbly.

Ruby has a calm temperament, she is perfectly happy out on long walks, but also cuddled up at home on a sofa. She has been brought up with children and other dogs and is a perfect family pet.
The sire, Toast, has a fantastic temperament. He is first and foremost a family pet, but regularly works and is a keen working dog. He has FTCHs within his lineage. His profile can be seen on Champdogs. Ruby and Toast make a great pairing.

Our aim is all our puppies will make excellent family pets but also have the potential to work or drive given the appropriate training.
The litter will be hereditary clear for the following: prcd-PRA, SD2, CNM, EIC, CY, DM, HUU, HNPK, STDG and MCD. COI = 0.3%. If you click on the health tests it opens another window to explain what the test is for.

As before, the puppies are expected to be delivered in the home and will be handled as much as Ruby allows from day one. They will be exposed to many different experiences whilst in our care, household sounds and experiences, children, occasionally other family members dogs, other adults, indoor and outdoor play, introduction to crate training, to name just a few. Every effort will be made to raise happy, healthy confident puppies.

New puppy parents are encouraged to visit from 3 to 4 weeks (observation only) and then interaction as puppies are older. Regular visits are likely to help with the bonding both for puppies and the families. It helps us to get to know you and select the right puppy for you. To assist with this, we will observe our puppies to match appropriately with potential owners.
Over the weeks leading up to your puppy coming home we aim to provide a variety of suitable information for both new and not so new puppy parents provide advice. We do encourage you to keep in touch and love to hear about and see the progress of our puppies growing and settling with their new families, whether through phone calls, photos, social media or occasional catch ups for dog walks etc.

The puppies are health checked and microchipped a few days prior to leaving for their new homes. Puppies will be Kennel Club Registered, have the 5-week insurance coverage, They will be wormed up to date, and you will be provided with a worming certificate. Your puppy will come with a piece of vet bed with Ruby’s and littermates scent to help with the settling in period in their new home. We ask you to sign a contract and in the sad event of the need to rehome him/her, we ask you to come back to us regardless of their age.

If you are interested in one of Ruby and Toast’s puppies, please contact via the "Message my breeder". I will have questions about your home and family life, work commitments, previous experience with dogs and a general chat. It’s very important to us to find the right home and to suitably match our puppy to their forever family.

We look forward to hearing from you!
