PLEASE NOTE: 2020 has been an unusual year with covid 19 and the regulations or restrictions placed on everyone. We didn't have a litter during lock down. The amount of emails and telephone calls have been off the scale. It is reducing but I am still having volumes of emails.
EMAILS To Email me please read my questions page which is a drop down on the available list. Send by email and please be patient waiting for a reply. silvestre.showdogs@gmail.com CALLS I rarely carry my phone on me, i know this is unusual for this day and age. So the best way to contact me is text me first between 10.30am to 3pm Monday to Friday. I will reply once I’ve seen it and then arrange a call. If you do not hear back from me it is because i am busy. So dont despair just text again the following day. WEEKENDS I am not available at all. I will not reply and will not do calls back. I think people think that all dog breeders are sitting by their phones waiting for correspondence to come through. This is not the case. We are not a shop, we are not on call all the time. WITHHELD NUMBERS If you call me from a with held number, please note it will not be answered. If your job requires a with held number its best to text me, explain and give me a number to call you back on. LATE TEXTS Will NOT be answered. SELLING PUPPIES ABROAD We will only sell to someone who is a show home and wanting a new blood line. We do not sell pets to other countries as their are dogs available closer to home most often. Why put a puppy through the trauma of air flight if we do not need too.
Where to Stay ?
Lots of people stay on an overnight close by when they are picking up their puppies.
Downham Market is a small market town with very few shops. They consist however of a Tesco's and Morrisons. You have a savers, Gregs, Many cafe's, Fish and chip shops, Kebab, Indian, Chinese. With a few pubs also.

Staying near something interesting. Lots of people like to make a weekend break. If you do then we are close to also the Norfolk coast line. It takes 40 mins to reach Hunstanton. Hunstanton is known for its excellent fish and chips, and they also have a chinese called Silk road which is the best one in the UK. If you go further along you have some quaint villages and pubs, and places to stay. Burnham Market is a nice quaint village with one of the best pie shops in Norfolk. The Lifeboat at Thornham is a lovely place to eat. You have so many to choose from. Brancaster has one of our best beaches as does Holkham and Wells Next the Sea. However remember we also have some dangerous beaches in Norfolk which have been known to take lives. Heacham, Holme next the Sea. Cromer and Sheringham are beautiful beaches and quaint towns. Great Yarmouth is a little too far, and its very bleak and not as pretty as some of the North Norfolk coast line but each person likes something different.
Don't forget also a good 1 1/2 from us is the Norfolk Broads. Lots of people hire boats and go up and down the broads for the weekend. Another lovely place is Ely, it seems alone in the middle of the fens, but the history in the town is fascinating.
If you are staying with a dog however your choices are more limited. Their is the Orange tree at www.theorangetreethornham.co.uk takes dogs. But you will have to check other places if they accept dogs or not as sometimes it changes.
