I have always thought it would be nice to learn as much as you can do about your puppy’s breeder, so I created a page to give you our back ground. My name is Rachel Savage and the first website I created was 2001 and their was hardly any websites on dogs back then. I knew if people could start to see the dogs we owned that it would be better than buying off an advert. When we started with our first litter we sold the puppies in the local newspaper. Their was no online sales sites for dogs. It makes me feel old but actually technology was changing.
Today to breed dogs in the UK and sell them a breeders license is required. Some areas have not caught up yet, but gradually more and more councils are catching up. So although you may assume someone has a license, the chances are they do not, so you may want to ask that question before you purchase a puppy. We are licensed with our local council. We achieved 5 stars which is the highest rating. Having had a license for 3 years, we have got used to all that entails with it now. Its quite a shock to many breeders as they do not know how to apply or do the paper work. Their are 3 people on our license, which is myself Rachel, my husband Darryl and Joshua our son.

The first dog I brought was a cavalier Kings Charles spaniel, a small toy breed, and blenham colour. I was just 16 years old. My mother came with me to purchase the puppy. He was the light of my life and I was working for my father a builder, and this dog used to accompany me to sites, and I would collect materials and spent many hours on the road chasing products. I also was a secretary come dogs body. Luke would sit on my seat all day happily grinning.
I also had a horse at the time, and I used to ride the horse down our road, and every day this great huge grey dog came belting to the gate. I was used to seeing labradors and cross breeds, and I had never seen anything quite like this huge grey dog. In fact I met Darryl on the road on my horse. He had a motorbike and pulled up beside me one day for a chat, and that was it. Love for life! After we got married I remember walking to the butcher and the dog was tied up outside, and I went over and got slobbered on, the owner came out and I asked what the breed was. He said a Weimaraner. From that moment I wanted one. It was the most awesome dog Id ever seen. I couldn't remember for the life of me what he called the dog however. I had to try and research it.

Fast forward a couple of years and we had our first Weimaraner.
I remember saying to my dad I want to breed the dog, and he said you must be mental. His family were farmers in the 2nd world war, and he also kept cattle, sheep as a hobby, and I helped him with all the animals. But he said you wont sell one of them. I was determined. I think if anyone says to me you cant do it, thats it I will do everything in my power to make it happen. Stubborn? Yes probably.
I rang my vets and asked did they know of anyone with a stud dog. They said they didnt, but someone had just brought a litter in for health testing and if they got her permission they could pass on the phone number. I got the phone number and rang and it was Diane Clark of Scalene affix. My god what a blessing that was. Diane now passed away from old age passed on her wisdom in the buckets loads. Every thing she told me then I do today. How not to be messed around. How to rear properly, how to breed as well as you can do. A great mentor for me in those early days. I guess thats the key thing is to start with someone who knows about the breed, as back then it wasn't like now. Their was NO INTERNET. In fact in 2001 I put the first website together and put on line, I couldn't find a single website anywhere. It seems we were one of the first ones. It had relatively no information as I was learning. My brother showed me how to create a website from scratch. Luckily now its easy peasy with web developers. This one is hosted with Weebly and all I do is drag and publish items now.
Sadly not many other breeders in the day were very nice or helpful to newbies wanting to learn. We can only learn with a mentor. I am now the mentor for another lady who is new to breeding. I am helping her all I can do. As tradition of breeding well bred dogs will be lost with the modern breeder of today.

I bred my first litter and sold every one. As in my mind I was going to be stuck with them. I sold them quick for £200 and found out afterwards the going rather was approx £400. I didnt know, and at the back of my mind I had my father saying you wont sell those dogs. Who would want one! LOL!
i was hooked, yep I was totally hooked. I wanted a second one so badly I brought in one, although I then bred another litter and kept one. It just escalated, the dogs loved me and I loved them. It was heaven.
Then I decided I want to show dogs. How do I do this? No-one to ask, no-one to help. Didn't think to ask Diane and I should of done. Couldn't find a ring craft, and the dog I had just brought I couldn't get him to training as their was no help on hand. I then decided to breed my girl to a show champion which was Sh.Ch.Sireva time honoured. I kept two females from the litter as I couldn't make my mind up which was best. Both had qualities I loved, but both quite different. Chelsea had a langhar coat almost, it was longer, wavier, darker coloured. Then her sister Willow had a short sleek pale coat, taller in withers. Willow was my favourite of the two. I stumbled literally on an advert for dog training for showing, I rang the advert and was told their was a class at Leziate and off we went. I did not have a clue. Their was some really helpful people in the class, who did not own Weimaraners, but they soon got us trained. Then I booked my first ever dog show which was Isle of Ely open show which was held in Wisbech. When we arrived it was nerve wracking, and their were two woman who came straight up to us. Sonia Pike and Ann wand, Sonia was a godsend so gave so much advice and told us when to go in the ring. We then met Russell Clarke at a future show and suddenly we got to know all the local show people in Weimaraners.
Ann wand is a still a great friend today and we meet up with Gill packer, Angie porter manning for girls lunches at the local garden centre. We talk non stop about dogs!

I applied for my affix Silvestre. It took 11 attempts before the Kennel club actually accepted the word. Now I could breed and put the word Silvestre in front of any dog I bred.
I knew nothing about health testing of dogs. But one day I decided I'm going to hip score my Weimaraners. Not that many people were doing it, but I started to learn from that point about health testing, what it meant. I still think breeding pugs learnt me the most however about health problems. I could see the importance of it back then. Now I do so many health tests because I want to try and breed dogs free from genetic diseases which their are DNA tests for.
I began to realise I wasn't well, and carried on regardless. My body was so fatigued, which was put down to having coeliac disease. But it didnt get better it got a lot worse. I remember showing our male Stanley in the show ring at a champ show and I came out of the ring and said to Darryl, I dont think I can show dogs any more. It was then that I realised something was very wrong with me. I had every test under the sun which showed inflammation in the blood, but they couldn't figure why. I couldn't even walk up a slight hill, I was so fatigued. They discovered I had an under active thyroid. So that was 2 auto immune diseases. They said soon as I was on meds I would feel better, but I didn't. They then discovered I had fibromyalgia after having tests for MS. Similar symptoms.
I said woah I cant stop showing dogs, and the reality hit I needed something smaller. Thats how the Hungarian Vizsla came into our lives.

I watched the Vizsla at open shows and didnt like them. Then I went to a champ shows and saw lots of Vizsla and lots caught my eye. Suddenly better ones. I saw this dog called Yogi running around the ring, and I was blown away. Never had I seen such a lovely dog. My friend in Weimaraners hilary stood their with her bitch Ginger, and said she was mating her. She mated her and she didnt fall pregnant. She did it again to Yogi and got 2 pups. Sadly mum died, and the two pups went to Judith for surrogate. She had just had a bitch whelp and she took on those two pups like her own. 7 weeks later Scarlett came home to us. Our first Vizsla, and I placed her on the floor, and she ran around the room, across the sofa, onto the window boards, along, fell off, ran outside to the lawn. Darryl said "What the F have you just brought"! LOL the ginger nut whirlwind. For a small breed they were very active far more active than a Weimaraner, and boy did we love her.
I was having many down days with fibro and I showed Scarlett as best I could do, and she did very well. I then bred her to Gladwills golden star gazer and kept 2 pups. Ruby and Amber and they were so naughty! But we were smitten with the breed. I gradually realised how much easier they were than a Weimaraner, just because they are more settled, more content in the home, and less destructive.
We then brought Chilli as we wanted our own male. I showed him and he won his show certificate of merit, the title sh.cm behind his name. He won best in show at The Royal norfolk show out of 956 dogs. He won his first RCC around 14 months. He went onto win a further 5 reserve tickets, then 3 Challenge certificates making him a champion. He was the dog in a million.
I became good friends with Angie who is wallaroos gun dogs just outside swaffham and we started going to shows together as Darryl lost interest. We would spend hours together on the road, or in hotel rooms. We found a common interest that we loved so many breeds of dogs. Not just one breed. True dog lovers can appreciate lots of breeds of dogs. I think its probably also an addiction where some people collect rings, I am a dog collector. We stand ring side on any breed and look to see which one we like the most in the class. To see if our judgement on the breed standard is correct.
I began to think Im not getting any younger, I wont be able to run a big dog around the ring, maybe I need to look at small breeds. Non coated ones. I brought my first Pug called Frankie. Love at first sight. I had always wanted a Pug, but never really thought to much about it. Pugs were more money than Vizsla or Weimaraners. Now I know why ! As they cost such a lot of money to breed, and you loose puppies all the time. You never cover costs with breeding Pugs I say we do it because we love the breed, but if the Vizsla didn't pay for the Pugs their is no way I could afford to breed Pugs. I still have Pugs and one breeding bitch. We are going to let her have a second litter, but then the decision will be made. As I'm finding breeding them costs so much money that Im loosing money all the time. So many people get into pugs as they think big money is to be made, but its absolutely opposite, unless your having 2-4 litters a month, but I dont want to do that. Im quite small compared to other breeding concerns, and I shall keep it that way.
One day I was walking in Sandringham when I came across a french bulldog. OMG a fawn french puppy was about the most adorable thing Ive ever seen. I wanted one. When I saw they were 2k plus for a puppy I couldn't afford one. Their was not enough income from the dogs to buy one. I borrowed the money to purchase our first French bulldog which was bubbles. Yes borrowed and its not the first time ive had to ask for help from family. Everyone assumes dog breeders make huge amounts of money. But you also spend huge amounts on your dogs.
In 2019 we introduced the bracco italiano, a breed of dog I have loved for donkeys years. They fascinated me. The looks of them just awesome. Darryl had wanted one for years, and he told me he wanted to start showing again, so I agreed on buying a Bracco. Sadly Covid struck so we could not show Yennefer, and now she doesnt want to be shown, her love is working life. She accompanies our son when he shoots. We have now got Geralt and he is undocked so we can show him in other countries. The docking ban has now effected so many countries in Europe.
So thats pretty much how I progressed from one breed to another and here we are. But in that time also my passion lead to a lot of learning about other aspects of dogs. Which you can read below.
I also realised the dogs became a lifeline for me, I go on about not feeling well, but they make me get up each day, and force myself to walk when my body doesn't want too. In some ways I feel better than 5 years ago. Maybe its because you come to terms with it. I have help now to show the dogs again, which is going to be such a help to me. I can wash dogs get them ready, and do all the important training, but I just need some help in the ring now. Darryl has decided that he will help me and this means we can show the bigger breeds again.
In 2021 we introduced back to our kennel the Weimaraner. I decided that as Darryl will now help with showing the larger breeds that why the hell not. I always loved Weimaraners from my 20's and I wanted one last one before we get too old to own one. They are not the right breed for the elderly thats for sure. You have to be active and get them out for good long walks.
I am now changing direction alittle and will not be breeding the little dogs very often. They are pets, being spayed or neutered. I intend on continuing with my HPR breed until I can not do them any longer.

Not only was I interested in showing dogs, and also judging dogs, I then wanted to learn more and more about dog welfare, and get qualifications with the dogs. So I went to college for 3 years, well it should of been 3 years but I got kicked out just after 18 months as I knew too much. I just sailed through the whole course quick. The problem was most ladies that go, have no dog experiences, and I had spent a lifetime in showing dogs, and boy do I study. Im always reading dog articles on health, welfare, veterinary scientific papers, anything to do with dogs.
I came out of the course with NVQ2 and 3 which is 2 A levels in animal care, and dog grooming. It covered every aspect of looking after animals, from health and safety with animals, to behaviour, to diet, to products, and parasites and so on. I covered a lot in that time.
I did a qualification in microchipping dogs, cats, ferrets.
I have atteneded endless seminars with the Kennel club on being a judge.
I have done breed seminars on bracco italiano and passed the exam. Breed seminar on Hungarian Vizsla and passed the exam. Breed seminar and attendance certificate on Weimaraners. I was booked for another breed this year but due to covid it was cancelled. My friend and I love seminars and we happily go and sit listening.
Ive been to two health seminars which are full days at Dick Whites Referrals hospital. We covered, allergies, heart, vaccine reactions, epilepsy, VIP in Vizsla, Cancers, Bloat, Spinal issues with french bulldogs, eye problems in Pugs, plus much more. I absolutely loved it, and now realise I have missed my career as a vet, as I should of done it in my 20's. Nothing phases me and I love every minute of learning about health issues in dogs.
I have attended a behavioural seminar with Sarah Fisher T Touch.
I have plans on doing more, and I wont ever stop learning. I just love it.
I did a first aid course on dogs, which is pretty amazing to learn how to resuscitate a dog.

SilveI know most websites are either aimed at selling dogs, or nothing but showing champions on their pages. I adopt a slightly different approach as I want you to see the dogs as they are living with us. I have Instagram so you can see how our dogs live with us, you can see from the endless photos the dogs aren't just kennel dogs. They are loved family pets. The majority do live in the home, we have a large home, and 4 acres, so do not think we are cooped up.
We achieve a 5 star rating with our local council as we meet the higher standards of breeding. The dogs have a much better welfare than some other breeders have. We wont over breed our dogs. We wont breed them on every season, and they will be rested, and miss a year. We dont hold our dogs at open stud and over use them. They are for our own bitches or good friends that have same ethics in breeding. We wont cross breed them as we appreciate the work gone by breeders back centuries ago who created the dog breeds we own. We will keep the breeds true to their heritage, which is having not only a working element but show quality dogs as well.
I have strong views on whats happened to the French bulldogs and Pugs, and how breeders have ruined them by breeding for colour not health. This has also put me off the breed in some respects as the breed has become so unhealthy. The health tests are Soooooooooo important and if you do not do them then you do not really care how the breed will turn out. They have mixed so many different breeds into them now you dont know whats a true pedigree or whats not. Its colour basically shows you a lot.
What have we achieved in the show ring?
What most people strive for a start is to qualify for Crufts dog show. What an honour it is to take your dog to Crufts and show it. If you can win a stud book number it means your dog is qualified for Crufts for life. So you do not have to qualify it each year. It is quite an honour to gain one. It is won by winning a CC or RCC or a 1,2 in Open class in Vizsla. In french bulldogs its a 1,2,3 in open.
The following dogs we have bred have won their stud book numbers.
WEIMARANERS
Silvestre Shotokan - Stud book number
Wrainamere Renaissance of Silvestre - Stud book number
Silvestre Last Tango with Silberliss - stud book number. LUX.CH. BEL, CH, DUTCH. CH. JW winner.
Silvestre Romulus was a Czech.CH and he just about achieved his German CH status, which was a real bonus as this is where the breed originated from and he had tons of complimentary comments from judges in Europe. He also went on to win field trials, did blood tracking, and learnt to how for Wolf. Sadly he was taken too young as he had interception of the bowel. This is where the bowel telescopes inside itself which then causes infection and death. He is forever in our hearts. His owner Eva was wonderful owner.

I am proud of all the dogs who are shown and have achieved great things. Im also just as proud of Spice who is a fully qualified Search and rescue Vizsla for West Sussex.
Mortimer and Delilah are now Scent dogs and have done so well. They have also had their first man trailing experience.
Im proud of all the pets sitting at home in front of the fireplace, and dogs who are working dogs, dogs that have done working tests or field trials, agility, pat dogs. Your all as important as my champion sitting in front of the fire place. Each dog has a special place in our heart and always will do.
KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH US
Of course you do not have to keep in touch with your breeder. The breeders job is kinda completed the day you take the puppy home, but we aren't like other breeders. We love it when you send us photos or videos, we love it when you take time to update us about your dog. Or on social media keep in contact with us. Please remember that if you do not keep in regular contact and then suddenly contact me 10 years later I will not know who you are. Part of my illness is a poor memory, so I wont remember everyone. But if you do keep in contact every now and then we love it! If you want advice during your dogs life, we will give it.
Sadly dogs do not live forever and I must point out to you that when a dog is 7 it is classified as a veteran. The downward to old age is 10 years happens then. Dogs have such a short lifespan that middle age for them is when we are in our 60's and 70's when the body may not work as well, that cancers can appear, and other problems. I really wish dogs could live for ever, but they can not. The hardest day is when you have to put your dog to sleep, your loving companion which has shown years of love to you is gone. The world feels empty. You can not every replace that dog, but you can own another and make new memories with that one. I have had dogs which you can never replace. Another reason we said after Stanley that we couldn't own another male Weimaraner, as he was perfection in a package. He died of old age, his back end went weak, and he couldn't support himself. The kidneys failing, and we had to say goodbye. He was 10 years old when he died. I have always said get any dog to 10 years and you have done well, and every year after is a bonus. Im dreading the day Chilli goes and he is now 11 1/2. I can not replace him at all, he was the one in a million dogs. The best show dog ive ever owned. From the day we picked him up at 6 weeks of age to now, he has lived with us in our bedroom. He has his own big basket and he sleeps in there every night.
