Our waiting lists are full for 2026, follow us on Facebook or Instagram for updates

With many horrendous horror stories around the sale of puppies from puppy farms and individuals not considering welfare needs, we wanted to do all we could to show that we are responsible breeders. We gained our first licence in 2020 and have been granted the highest 5 star licence in 2022. We have just been inspected in October 2025, securing another 5 star licence. Buying a puppy is a big decision, this is a dog that you are looking to spend years and years with, therefore a healthy, happy and well socialised puppy is a must.

We follow responsible breeding guidelines and only use healthy dogs in our breeding programme, this helps to reduce inherited health problems in puppies and improves the long-term health of the breed. All our puppies are vet checked and leave with insurance which gives you piece of mind. We keep detailed records which is available for council inspections by their animal welfare officer. During our recent inspection we were required to provide evidence of DNA screening for every dog and the studs we use. We ensure parents are compatible and pay particular attention to genetic coefficient of inbreeding (COI). We only use dogs who have a below breed standard COI by using kennel club calculators when we carefully plan litters. Additionally, we only use Cavalier King Charles Spaniels who have been screened as GREEN for Mitral Valve heart murmurs, all heath testing is supplied for both parents within our contract which we share with prospective owners before making a commitment. The contract is signed upon collection of their puppy.

As a licensed breeder, you know that we must provide accurate and honest information about our dogs which includes health and temperament. This helps to protect you from those type of breeders who sell sick, poorly socialised puppies and with no regard to the health and wellbeing of dogs in their care. Our social media updates, show we dearly care for all of our girls. Yes, they are part of our breeding programme, their home is ours forever. As you rightly would want to know so much about my standards, I also want to know about potential owners, I'm afraid I will not place a puppy with a potential owner if something does not feel right. It is my responsibility to ensure the right homes are selected for my puppies. I am fully transparent, nothing to hide, I'm proud of what I've achieved. Being licenced is doing my part towards stamping out unethical breeders.

Our girls are very much members of the family and our puppies are lavished with love and attention. Our girls live in our family home and we have a puppy room with a custom built aluminium whelping pen and puppy run. We handle puppies from birth and spend a lot of time following a socialisation programme so our puppies are confident and have the very best start. This involves handling from birth, introducing a range of experiences, sounds and textures. Being home raised means puppies will be familiar with household noises.

Puppies are wormed with a veterinary approved wormer at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of age. You can be confident that we uphold the highest welfare standards. All our puppies are vet checked, we supply full documentation of this too. We rear puppies on a high quality puppy food and at least a 2 weeks supply is included in the puppy pack. We have breeder insurance and puppies will leave with 5 weeks free insurance, this will be active on collection of your puppy.

As a Cavapoo and Cockapoo breeder, I bring these babies into the world and there’s nothing I want more than the best for them. I love to develop relationships with the wonderful people who are chosen to be puppy parents. I do prefer to meet all potential new families and I’m sure you would want to meet me, the girls and see our home. I set up WhatsApp groups so you can keep in touch with all the siblings in the litter too, this is great for me to offer support and of course for those pupdates.
When puppies arrive I like to do an initial video call, this is a great opportunity to ask questions and for me to share further details of how we rear our babies. Upon being placed on a waiting list the next steps are as follows:
1. Mating/ Pregnancy – You would be updated on WhatsApp of when the mating has taken place. We have an ultrasound at 35 days, a picture or video would be shared confirming pregnancy with an approximate due date.
2. Birth – Once the puppies have arrived safely, I will share an update with you via WhatsApp. You’ll receive regular updates, including photos and videos, right up until the puppies are ready to leave for their new homes. You’ll also be informed of the expected date your puppy will be ready to join you (from 8 weeks old). At this stage, I’ll need to know about any holidays you have planned. Please note that holiday arrangements will be at my discretion — I’m unable to hold a puppy for weeks, as most families on the waiting list have been waiting a long time for their turn. If your holiday dates mean you’re unable to collect at the appropriate time, you may be moved to a future waiting list.
3. Holding fee - A non-refundable holding fee of £250 is required to secure your position on the waiting list. This amount will be deducted from the total cost of your puppy. A copy of our sales contract will be sent to you before you send the holding fee so that you can review our full terms of sale.
4. Choosing your puppy – When the puppies reach 4 weeks of age, families will have the opportunity to select their puppy in order of waiting list position. Selection will take place via WhatsApp video call, and you will be informed of your position on the list beforehand. For health and safety reasons, in-person visits are not possible at this stage due to the risk of cross-contamination. I will provide regular videos and photos to help you make your choice, and I’m more than happy to arrange a video call to assist with your decision. Once your puppy has been chosen, your selection will be confirmed, and a further £250 deposit (deductible from the total cost of your puppy) will be required.
4. Meeting your puppy – Once puppies are 5 weeks old I will invite you to come and meet your new little one in person. In some cases, such as travel commitments or other circumstances where an in person visit isn’t possible, I’m more than happy to arrange a video meeting so you can still spend some special time getting to know your puppy. For in person visits, we kindly ask that only the immediate family attend; a maximum of two adults and children. This helps keep the environment calm and comfortable for the puppies. Visits are strictly by appointment only, and we limit the number of visits per day to ensure the health and wellbeing of our puppies.
5. Collecting your puppy – Your puppy will be at least 8 weeks old and ready to come and live with you. The final balance will need to be paid via bank transfer before you arrive. I'm more than happy for you to pay the balance when you arrive to collect your puppy, although I will not release your puppy until funds have cleared into my account. Your puppy insurance will be active on the day of collection for your piece of mind. You must bring a suitable puppy travel carrier for safe transportation and have adequate car space. Prior to collection I would speak with you during a video call, again another opportunity for you to see your puppy and hear your voice. I will answer any further questions and give advice for those initial days settling into a new home.
