Q: Are you a registered breeder?
A: Yes, we are registered with the government. We are not 'backyard
breeders' and have many years experience breeding dogs. The requirements
in Victoria for registered breeders are the strictest in Australia, and
we exceed all requirements and are subject to regular inspections by our
local shire ranger. Unfortunately some states do not even require
breeders to be registered, allowing substandard facilities to be used.

Where is the height of your dogs measured from?
A: From the shoulder.
Q:
What happens to your dogs that are no longer used for breeding?
A: At 4 to 6 years of age we retire our breeders. They are de-sexed and
enjoy their retirement in living in family homes.
Q:
What age do you breed your dogs from?
A: 18 months to 2 years of age is when we start to breed our females. At
this age they are no longer a puppy they have had time to develop.
Q: How many litters of puppies does a female have in her breeding life?
A: We only breed 1 litter a year from our female dogs. So depending on
the age of retirement a female would have 2-4 litters and are then
retired into family homes.
