Hello Everybody

My partner and I are looking for a puppy to raise as a member of our family, we would be grateful for any help you can give us with regards to, breeders (North West if poss) likely purchase cost, and any other bits of important information you think could help us.

Luckily enough we work in our own office and we intend to bring him/her in with us. This is so he/she wont be left on his/her own. We have had dogs before but they would be older, damaged chaps from the RSCPA kennels.

This time Elly wants one we can raise ourselves.

Thanks
Richard

this is a popular breed much exploited by puppy farmers.

To ensure you find a reputable breeder I would get in touch wih your nearest regional club secretary, and the natuional breed club sec. You can get their deatils from the KC Tel. 0870 606 6750.

they will probably know who has or is planning a litter, and may also be aware of some of the not so ethical breeders/dealers in your area, for you to avoid.

Hope that helps as a starting point.
