Why breeding with dogs??  

As toddler I was very scared of dogs, due to a nasty experience with a big dog.  My parents reacted to good advice - give Hannatjie her own little puppy!   I was four when the new pup arrived.  For the next 12 years  "Bollie"  a Min Pin/Fox Terrier cross was my friend.   The bond  I had with him also helped me to trust and love bigger animals, including dogs.

After my marriage in 1978 to William, at that time a teacher/farmer, we bought our first Wire Haired Fox Terrier.  Soon we enjoyed life with a male and two females.  Three years later our son Wayne was born. 

 He was a very sickly baby and mentally handicapped.  Caring for him was time consuming as he needed special care.  I could not go back to teaching and had to spent most of my time on the farm.  My late dad bought me a Yorkie male and two females.  I started breeding puppies as a hobby to compensate for the difficulties with my own baby. 

Soon I realised, I could provide the same love, pleasure and sense of responsibility that I experienced with Bollie, to other families and their children by breeding puppies. 

Our love for dogs, after all these years, became just more intense and each puppy is still a part of you going off.  We traveled great distances to choose and buy breeding dogs.  We spent many nights reading about different breeds to fulfil our dreams since 1978: 

Our goal - to breed KUSA registered puppies as lovable pets out of imported/champion bloodlines with good temperaments. 

Documentation, health and the legal aspects.

All the puppies are registered with KUSA.  They are inoculated and micro-chipped.  New owners receive an inoculation record and identipet certificate with their pup.  The KUSA certificate gets posted to them.  We only have breeders' restriction on the Labradors and Golden Retrievers, which will be lifted after we have received proof of the dog's HD health certificate. 

Our breeding Labradors and Golden Retrievers are all HD tested.

The puppy's deworming starts at 2 weeks of age with 2 week intervals till they are 8 weeks old.   We also spray him/her with Frontline before he/she leaves us for the new family.  The new owner takes home a sample of the pellets the puppy has been weaned on.

We deliver the puppies, if possible, to their new families when they are between 7 - 8 weeks old.  From 8+ weeks we send them by plane to any major airport in SA at owners expence.  Many requests from people beyond our borders, has led us to send pups to neighbouring countries at 10 weeks old with all necessary vetnary, export and import documentation.
