WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE

It gives us pleasure to introduce our dogs to you through our website. I am Rachel and the creator of this website, and I update the site when I get five minutes. I am also the founder of the Silvestre Affix which was granted to me many years ago with the UK Kennel club. I am married to Darryl who is also a dog lover like myself, and he shares an interest in the affix as does Joshua our son. The whole family are devoted to dogs.
I think websites are a good window to see how dogs are living through photographs, and our dogs are living by our side being part of our family. Yes we have a large garden and adequate home for several dogs.
We started showing and breeding Weimaraners, but after years of living with Weimaraners we wanted a different breed of dog, and thats when our love turned towards the Hungarian Vizsla. We own now 4 dog breeds, and I love so many different breeds I know I wont be able to own them all in my lifetime. We are genuine dog lovers and this is why so many breeds appeal where as some breeders just only like one breed and thats it. I find it fascinating to learn about history of dog breeds, and everything I do is an enjoyment of learning about dogs.
I have qualifications in dogs as I attended the animal college in Milton Cambridgeshire and did animal care courses and dog grooming, I am qualified to micro chip dogs as well. I didn’t realise at the time how important it would be to have all these qualifications in dogs especially with now the new breeding law that came in. It started as a hobby and now its something that I certainly need to own over 10 dogs.
We do own dogs we are not breeding with, from puppies to veterans. Their breeding life is not very long with us as we then spayed and neuter our dogs.
I’m a big believer in natural rearing which you can read about during your visit to our website.

All the parents of our puppies are health tested. We use DNA tests which are windows to see if our parents are clear from health problems, sadly their are not enough DNA markers for every single disease, but we do what is available. We also do BVA hip scoring, and spinal xrays. Eye tests where relevant.
We welcome your enquiries but please do not contact me before 10.30am in the mornings. I am out and busy with our dogs. You can text me any time and i will reply when i get the time. I do not carry my mobile all the time.

All the parents of our puppies are health tested. I think several people seem to skim over this part. As a breeder we use DNA tests which are a window to show us if our dogs are clear from health problems. Sadly their are not enough DNA markers for everything, but we do what is available. We also do BVA testing. PLUS Spinal xrays on the Pugs. We participate in breeder schemes with the French bulldog club.
The majority of our puppies go to wonderful pet family homes
But some of our dogs also go to homes where they have a variety of activities to do.
Agility, Working, Field, Show, Search and Rescue, Pat dogs, Medical dogs, Scent work.

“Pure bred, Kennel club registered, pedigree dogs only”
We only breed recognised colours. It would seem that most of you do not even know what a recognised colour is. Its actually very important that breeders breed to the Kennel club breed standard. Because it is a description of what makes a poodle a poodle, and what makes a Pug a Pug. Knowing the breed standards is part of judging dogs. Recognised colours are talked about on the individual pages I have made for the breeds I own.
Anyone can breed two dogs together and produce babies. But breeding dogs with knowledge is worth its weight in gold for mum and her offspring. Knowledge on when a vet is needed can save lives. We have a great relationship with our vet.
We have sold dogs to public figures, and they come to us because we do things right. But also we do not share their details, and under data protection we have to follow guidelines.
