We are proud to present team Silvestre through our website. Our dogs are UK Kennel club registered. We were granted the affix Silvestre by the Kennel club, and we are Kennel club assured breeders. Mrs Rachel Savage and Mr Darryl Savage Our son Joshua has an interest in our affix and is also named on our breeding license. We are not just breeders of dogs we have a passion, and learning. Over the years Rachel has done animal care and dog grooming courses and NVQ 2 and 3. Microchipping course, and many Kennel club seminars, plus attended health seminars on dogs, and behavioural. This lead to a lifetime of learning about dog breeds, and how to care for dogs. Understanding the development of puppies and giving them a social training early on. Our dogs live with us and are living the best life!.
With the bad reputation dog breeders have, we decided we wanted to stand out with our principles and our goal, and we do everything to the best of our ability. We breed to the Kennel club breed standard and our dogs are shown to prove we are breeding from excellent dogs. We are committed to their welfare and our aims with in this website is to show you how our dogs live. Although we love showing our dogs its not about show wins to us, we want great family pets. I have always said that the temperament of the breeding dogs is very important. Its all well and good owning a champion but if its got a bad temperament then they should not be bred from. We are producing puppies for the Pet home, and our home. They must have sound temperaments.
We care about our own dogs, and we want to be the best we can for them. They deserve the best life their is. They have the best veterinary care and checked yearly in part of an annual health check where every aspect of the dog is recorded.

We show our dogs in the UK and Europe, but with bills rising at a terrific rate we will have to reduce now our showing hobby. We shall be selective until we can see what's ahead with bills. We have enjoyed showing in Europe and learning about blood lines. Seeing what actually goes on first hand in Europe. We have some of the best bloodlines and we know how we want to develop through health, type, and temperament, and looks. Showing has been a big part of our lives for over 20 years.
We endeavour to do as many health tests as we can do. They first of all have the basic health tests which are required by the Kennel club. But then we endeavour to do more tests as the time goes by, giving Team Silvestre a great health record. This is because we do not wish to skimp on our breeding program. Knowing that our own dogs are healthy its just the start in breeding. We go the extra mile, and I do not have another job so I am committed to the raising of your puppy. They are given the best diet known to animals which is raw feeding with protein meat, bone, offal, herbs, fruits, milk, eggs. Our puppies are holistically reared to the best of our ability. The parents are now worm counted before breeding, to know one hundred percent they do not carry parasites, giardia, fleas.
We have experience, we have dedication, and we can give you years of advice when needed.
We line breed and out cross pedigree dogs, with thought and consideration. Having being an established and experienced breeder for several years. We have always said if you want a 0 coi go buy a cockerpoo. All pedigree dogs are related.
We only breed pedigree dogs to pedigree dogs
