ABOUT US

My name is Mrs Rachel Savage and I have been married to Darryl for 34 years. We have two grown up children and a grandson. We are the very proud owners of Silvestre dogs.
My very first dog at 16 which I owned myself was a cavalier King Charles spaniel. He was my loving companion, who travelled to work with me and everywhere I went the dog came too. I think this dog had every health problem a cav can have. But that was back in the day where any veterinary was cheap. It was affordable. I met Darryl at 17 years of age, and by 19 we were married. All those years ago! WOW!
We then fell in love with the Weimaraner, and we brought one. I had seen the breed first when I was about 15 and I rode my horse past this gate every single day, and every single day this Weimaraner ran to the gate and barked at me. It was a few years later that the same dog was tied up outside the butchers, and I got to speaking with the owner. I knew I wanted one. The dog seemed special, elegant, and unlike the dogs I had been used too growing up. Darryl decided he would like a new dog as a pet, and we got a Weimaraner. It was a shock after owning a cavalier, and even I cant believe that the Weimaraner got under our skin, but they did. A few years later we then brought a bitch and when she was old enough I announced I was breeding her. Everyone in the family said no dont do it, you wont find homes for them. I gave the first litter away for very little money. It didn't even cover costs of breeding the litter. I was at home all day with the kids and it gave me a great hobby to think about. I applied for an affix with the kennel club.
It was years later I put Darryl on the affix as he showed an interest in showing the dogs. So we showed them together. Then Darryl got tired of showing and had different hobbies and I continued by myself showing the dogs. Sadly my health deteriorated and I realised I couldn't go to shows with out his help. So in 2019, Darryl started to come to shows again with me. He has now said he will show the dogs for me as well, so hopefully this year 2020 we will both be back in the ring again.
I have such a passion towards dog that I have done loads of k c seminars, and breed seminars, and health seminars, behavioural, and first aid. I also did an animal care course, and for a time dog grooming course as I was thinking of having a hairy breed to show but I realised it was too hard and although I finished the course I couldnt own a hairy as my fibromyalgia was too bad to cope with grooming. It is a demanding thing to do, lifting large dogs about, bending about. So thats really it in a nutshell.
I dont just like dogs, I LOVE dogs, and they are my life and always will be. Oh and cats! We have 3 British short hair cats, some you will see when you come to visit me. So let me know in advance if you have cat allergies please. Plus we own Turkeys as pets and 4 hens.
Our dogs are a big part of our life, as we do not even go out for the day with out several dogs in tow.
We now have a new breed which we are learning about and I am off to a seminar soon to learn all about the bracco italiano.
I know that 1 won't be enough as already she has won us over. So very different to the Vizsla. Reminds me in some way of the Weimaraner stubbornness, but so more wiling to please, so easier than the Weimaraner. They are also sensitive breed, so theirs no point shouting as she would run off. She wants to please, hates to do anything wrong. I only wished now I had found this breed 20 years ago!
Our dogs are well travelled, and go all over the UK and Europe with us. They are used to staying in hotels, caravans, and bed and breakfast. The crate training really pays off in those early days, other wise we couldn't leave the dog in a hotel room and go down stairs for a second. But with fabric crates they settle down and go to sleep. Also if we are travelling with a bitch in season you do not want them on the bed sheets. We may go to stud and have to stay an awful long way from home to get the mating done. We went to scotland a few years ago and stayed four days whilst the bitch was mated two days apart. She slept wonderfully in the crate. Crates are brilliant if used correctly.

Check instagram and like my photos and follow. I try to share daily photos of the Silvestre dogs at home, work or play.
Lots of people assume show people only sell dogs to show homes. This is not true, and in many cases I have sold to a pet home over a show home as I know the dog will be doted upon and not living in a kennel. I am happy to sell dogs to anyone that passes our questions. Because we want to know that you will cope with the dog we do ask questions.
