We are expecting Hungarian Vizsla puppies.

LATEST NEWS
Birdie and Maverick should be our next Vizsla litter. Birdie is in season approx September/October.
Lane and Maverick should also be following this litter. We tried Lane this year but she was not ovulating. So we will try her one last time and if she does not ovulate we wont try again. But before these two litters we will be having a Bracco Italiano litter.

Our next litter plans will be Vespa and Eddie (Bracco Italiano). Vespa is due in Season any time from April 25. When she comes in we will be mating her. All Bracco italiano puppy enquiries please do get in touch. We will get mixed colours, chestnut and orange.

Regards Rachel

We do not put you on our waiting list if you are on other waiting lists.

FRENCH BULLDOGS
Sorry no French bulldog litters this year. We selectively breed our Frenchies and we are now looking for a BOAS tested 0 male which is also fully health tested for 2026. I have a lot of requirements so it's finding the right dog. We breed these for good health and not quantity of puppies. The mum will be KIKI and I will update the French bulldog page very soon.

We are HOME BREEDERS !

Born into a loving environment until their little paws leave our home

WHAT COMES WITH OUR PUPPIES

Puppies will be Kennel club registered and their K C document will be inside a folder for you to collect at 8 weeks. When breeders register puppies they pay the Kennel club, but you the new owner have to pay to transfer the ownership from breeder to yourself when you collect the puppy. If you do not know how to do this I can do this for you on collection at the cost of what the certificate costs. If you do not do this I own your dog with the kennel club.
Digital 3 generation pedigree or printed pedigree. If you want a certified Kennel club pedigree you can order one yourself or if you pay me I will order you one.
Folder to put all your documents in.
A tote bag with our logo on.
A handmade cushion which helps with stress as we infuse it will pet remedy.
A small toy suitable for the puppy.
Lifetime support via what's app.
Invite to our Facebook group for silvestre owners.
A blanket which has been rubbed on mum and will have her scent on.
Treats

WE DO NOT VACCINATE PUPPIES
A veterinary health check done two days before they leave our home. Our vet provides a letter for you to take home stating he has checked the puppy and it is fit and healthy.

PLEASE NOTE: What we give away may change from litter to litter and that's due to what time I get to make things, or what's available. Also if you have a puppy from Joshua he only gives away a cushion and blanket.

INFO - UPDATE MARCH 2025.
Coming to the end of another tax year we update our page so we are current and relevant for the litters each year. So here is the info you need to know.

By law anyone who sells a puppy in the UK must display their license number. Ours is on the front page of our website. Please note if you do not see a license number in others adverts or websites they are not licensed and breaking the law on selling animals.
We under go welfare checks to breed dogs, and they grade 1-5 stars. 5 stars being the highest welfare possible and we are a 5 star license. This means we have more breeding ethics than stars under 5. For example you can breed 6 litters from a bitch if you are a 4 star license. But when you have 5 stars it's 4 litters. But we do not really believe in this as some of our girls have only had 1 litter and then retired. You have to do whats right for each and every individual dog.
We do not breed our girls until they are 2 years of age. So puppies born over 2 years of age. In some cases our girls are older and all this means is we didnt think they were ready or we wanted to show them instead of breed.
If your dog has a health problem as an adult, please do email me with the information. As it's helpful to take note and then breed by avoidance. We talk at length with our own vet who will tell us what his opinion is and what he thinks we should do. It can be a simple do not put those dogs together again and use a different stud dog. Because there is not the biggest gene pool in pedigree dogs, that where ever you go there are problems. But we try to do our utmost. Plus we health tests extensively.
Our adult parents are health tested. Sometimes a stud dog if we have gone out to stud may not be as extensively health tested as our own dogs. But we look for key health tests. Just because a dog is kennel club registered does not mean it is health tested. I get a lot of people come to me who's looked for puppies and only one parent has had health tests, the other has not. Ideally both should have them. But with DNA tests at least if the father is clear it would meant at most your puppy is a carrier not affected. Which means it would never develop the problem. But with our own dogs both mum and dad are dna tested and have had other health tests. So we do a lot. We only breed clear to clear, or a carrier to clear. But in most Vizsla cases it's clear to clear only. But with Frenchies they carry so many health issues we can not avoid carriers. But the most important thing is to only breed a carrier to a clear. If your dog is a carrier it does NOT mean it will be affected. Any breeders wanting puppies to breed from please note I am happy to DNA test the puppy at your cost.
Guarantees! We are hearing more and more that people want a guarantee for life. Oh boy wouldn't that be wonderful. But when you are dealing with living breathing animals you can not give a guarantee for life. Im pretty certain if I was a dog I would have been put to sleep years ago (Smiley face). But what we can do which others do not is have a proper health test on each puppy before leaving and the vet will provide a health letter. This means you have brought a healthy puppy. This is worth its weight in gold. Having Brought sick puppies ourselves we know how heart breaking it is so we do not want to put our owners the same position we have been put in over the years.
You will always see the mother of the puppies and we love you to meet her. In some cases you can see the father but not always as we sometimes go out to stud, or the dogs not available. But you will meet the legal requirement of seeing mummy dog. Most of our girls only have eyes for us as we are their owners, but they are happy to see you. Please note we do not breed from dogs with poor temperaments.
Our puppies mean the world to us so we have their welfare at heart. Biosecurity for puppies means not allowing people come in too early as you can put your puppies at risk from virus. Puppies are generally stronger at 4-5 weeks of age, so we usually do our first visits at 5 weeks as then you can handle the puppies. I remember buying my first pedigree dog at 16 and the breeder would not let me touch a puppy until I took him home at 8 weeks. We do allow you to touch and video and picture puppies. Each breeder has different rules, and a lot of It is based on experiences. I have been through a training course in college and we had to write papers on virus and how they transmit through dogs. This made me realise so quickly we need to be careful.
Photos please note if you take any, do not put on social media when inside our outside of our home. This can alert thieves wha your property looks like inside and out. Keep them for your own personal use.
We do offer hand sanitiser for you to use when you come, if you have allergies to any hand sanitiser we wont force you to use it.
If you come to visit and you know you have covid please cancel your appointment. I have 3 auto immune diseases and If I go poorly then whose going to look after the puppies. So cancel and make an appointment when you're better or do a video call.
My whole house has cctv this is to protect our home and dogs. We took advice from police many years ago when we did have dog thieves.
Advice from police: I will only do visits when my husband is home also. You can not just drop in to see us. An appointment has to be made in advance and we do take your personal details.
We now do video calls by whats app to show you puppies if you do not want to travel. This is because some owners come from Scotland or Cornwall or other countries and it's impossible to do two journeys. We understand. But we make collection pick up little longer for you so you get to meet everyone.
Because I am at home during the daytime and not working elsewhere I provide a whole range of enrichment toys and this includes noises. Loud bangs, soft music, we have snuffle mats, kong puzzle toys, snuffle snakes, toys of different texture, play gym, ball pit, paddling pools, tunnels, soft beds and raised beds.
Our puppies are never left home alone, ever! Our son looks after our dogs if we are away even for an hour.
A variety of surfaces under foot to teach them different surfaces. From shingle, to carpets, oak, laminate, porcelain, patio, grass, soil, wooden bark chips.
Touching their feet every day plus touching ears and looking inside mouth.
I am a dog lover so they get cuddles all the time and handling.
We take photos on a regular basis and send to you. But there is no exact date. If I have sent two weeks on the trot the same day, do not expect the next week will be the same. I may be a few days later. There is no point demanding updates as I can only do them when Im good and ready. Just think of it like this, I do not demand weekly photos of your puppy for the next 14 years of its life. I love it if you do, but I wont demand it or keep pestering you. We need to be sensible here. I know, because I am friends with a lot of breeders, that I do far more than anyone. They think im crazy doing so much.
We have instagram @silvestre.showdogs and we also have TIKTOK. @silvestreshowdogs. If you message me through any social media please note you probably wont get a reply. I get hundreds every day and I do not always see the genuine ones so I tend to ignore it. If you want to talk to me use whats app 07584279384
We have a password to unlock our silvestre owners access page in this website. But you also have Facebook group you can talk to everyone who's had a puppy off us.
Life time free support by whats app. This does not include behavioural issues. I am now about to run a separate business for behaviour. Im being trained by one of the top behaviourists in the UK and I will offer this service then to anyone with a dog. But I will charge. I will give free basic advice to anyone but when it's something that needs a weekly session then I have to charge. Also health problems, I can give you advice if you need a vet. I can also tell you symptoms of certain virus or illness as I have a vast knowledge on health issues in dogs. But I will refer you to a veterinary surgeon as I cannot legally diagnose your dog or treat your dog. It must be. your own vet. If it's training advice your trainer should be able to advise you. Most training issues need to be seen by a trainer in front of them.
We worm our puppies 3 times with panacur paste, this kills not only worms but protozoon parasites.
We use natural flea shampoo if we see a flea.
Their is free insurance which can be claimed by you when activating microchip but we would advise you take up a years insurance from the first day you go home. This is because nothing in life is free. These are the ways insurance companies gets out of paying for something for life. So I advise from day one take out insurance.
We can not make an exact waiting list a year in advance because we do not have enough bitches to have litters every month. This is why our waiting list is made when we confirm a bitch is pregnant. There are some bigger kennels which can offer you monthly slots. But we are home based inside the house, and I couldnt have 2-4 litters every single month of the year. Kennels raise them in kennel blocks so can have more.
Our waiting list is quite simple. We mate a mum, make sure she is pregnant. Then we make a firm waiting list.
All deposits are non refundable if you back out from the sale of the puppy. They are only refundable if we do not think we can provide you with a puppy.
You can not transfer between litters unless I agree.
We also hold a reserve waiting list, which means you are on the waiting list but after 5 others.
Now this is something you need to know. No waiting list seems to be firm. Because I get people who only want a dog or only want a bitch. Then we get numbers where we can not help people. This then opens up the waiting list and I have to advertise with the Kennel club. We can not predict sexes. If you do not mind dog or bitch then you will get a puppy.
I do not want to put a deposit down until ive seen the puppies. That is absolutely fine, so in your case follow what we are doing, then its just chance if we have one available when we do viewings. Because others will pay a deposit. Some people come to us because they know how we raise puppies and want the whole package we provide so will patiently wait.
I want to visit you before I decide. In this case you need to visit well before a mum is pregnant. We also take £100 for visits. I would advise then coming to see us, but not for a current on the way litter. Then put your name down for one that maybe born later in the year. Because the Vizsla is popular I get people waiting to visit me every day of the week. I would not have a life, or be able to look after the dogs. The best option is to meet us at an open show or crufts show or a champ show as their will be one in your area we maybe going too. If you visit I take £100. So cheaper to find us at another area. The councils want now breeders to operate like business, so with it comes business management and that is managing my time better.
I can not miss out from. your litter, and I dont want one from anyone else. In your case if you want to pay £100 to go on the priority list then you can. This then means as the pups are born your names are first. I only do a few though and stop and put others on the reserve list.
Remember I reserve the right not to sell to anyone. Dogs come under different laws to other things. We select the best homes possible. If we breed and there is not enough dog or bitch yet I want to keep a dog or bitch I may have to let you down.
We do not sell breeding dogs, unless we know you, or you are prepared to show your dog, learn about the breed standard, do the health tests, wait until the mum is 2 years of age. A legal document called the breeding endorsement template is a document the kennel club provides. We put a breeding endorsement on all puppies. We will not lift this at all unless you have entered into an agreement with us to breed from your dog.
No-one chooses a puppy. You may find this unusual and in most cases people are grateful. You can not possibly know the dogs temperament or behavioural traits at 5 weeks. This develops later and only the person living with the dog knows what they are like. I understand dog behaviour. I do let people choose two they like the most and if one of those fits in with your family then thats the one you will get. I always have the pick of the litter.
All puppies leave at 8 weeks, and if we have to keep them longer than 8 weeks we charge £35 per day for looking after your puppy. This will include taking puppy out for social skills, to areas where there is high volumes of people, and house training. But we will tell everyone the same thing. Dogs which are kept for longer may end up with issues later because they loose the early bonding with owners.
If you want a puppy for a job, ie working, showing, agility you must tell me when Im selecting puppies.
Contacting me. Always text me around 10.30am and we can arrange over text a time to call. But please note once you have the puppy you can whats app me evenings up t 8pm. Then I do not answer until the next day. I have work hours. I am not available Sundays. For any reason.
Advice: If you are a worrier by nature and you know that you worry about every fine details in life, never own a Vizsla. Look at my Vizsla info page as Im about to update that with new things I think relevant.
