Hello and welcome
We are very proud to introduce our dogs through our website. My name is Mrs Rachel Savage and Im married to Darryl and we are owners of Silvestre show dogs team. All our dogs are pedigree, all registered with the Kennel club of Great Britain. We hold a 5 star breeding license which is the highest rating possible. We are experienced breeders with a great reputation on raising puppies to the best of our ability. Our affix is Silvestre which was granted by the Kennel club of Great Britain. We are Kennel club assured breeders which is part of an accredited scheme. This means we have undergone home checks and meet their requirements.
All artwork contained in this website is either created by me, or brought and paid copyright from graphic designers. I love making things so doing artwork for the website is a hobby to me.
We are not just dog breeders, I think we have a passion for all our dogs and they mean the world to us. Over the years I have done animal care and dog grooming courses, with NVQ 2 and 3 which is equivalent to two A levels working with animals. Also a Microchipping course. Rachel has done many Kennel club seminars, plus attended health seminars on dogs, and behavioural. This love of dogs has lead me to a lifetime of learning about breeds of dogs, and how to care for them properly. Understanding the development of puppies and making sure every need is met. As a breeder of dogs for many years I can say we learn something new all the time. Everyone starts somewhere but a new breeder will never have the answers you may need to own an HPR breed of dog. You need someone experienced who knows these breeds inside out. Which we do! How was we taught? By mentors of these breeds.
With the very bad reputation dog breeders seem to have in the UK, we decided we wanted to stand out with our principles and our goals. We do everything to the best of our ability. When we breed we are always studying bloodlines. We do not just import dogs we know the blood lines we bring to our breeding. We breed to the Kennel club breed standard.
All our breeding is done in the family home! The majority of our puppies are sold to loving pet homes.
Our website will show you that our dogs are more than breeding dogs, they are family pets. I do not think our breeds should be kept in bad conditions and they need contact with their owners. My dogs are living in the home with us, and they have our beautiful gardens daytimes. We are committed to their welfare, and we health tests all our dogs above and beyond what is required by the Kennel club.
We love showing our dogs, but we will always tell you that its not the rosettes or trophies that define a dog. It proves they are good enough to be bred from but cuddling up on the sofa at night with our pack of dogs is far worth anything done in the ring. I think most show folk feel the same way.
We believe if a dog has a bad temperament it should not be bred with. Because we have to live with these dogs, they should be excellent in all aspects. Their is no point owning a champion if it has a bad temperament. As temperament can be passed on or learnt.
Our dogs have excellent care, and veterinary treatment if needed. They eat extremely well the 80/10/10 diet with fruits, herbs and some veg. They are the epitome of good health because of the diet they have. Im asked often if its grooming produces why our dogs coats shine. No its the diet. Our dogs are checked yearly by a vet, and they are trained to be good citizen dogs.

PUPPIES AVAILABLE SOMETIMES
FROM HEALTH TESTED PARENTS
We have some of the best known bloodlines in our dogs pedigree's. From years of selective breeding by us and those before us. We have been privileged to show our dogs in Europe also, and have stood on the side of the ring and watched the best dogs. This gives us a much wider knowledge on bloodlines.
Our puppy owners have lots to say how happy they are with pups from Silvestre, and you enter a family when you buy a puppy from us. We have a secret Facebook group for those owners who which to speak to each other. We have some hugely knowledgeable people on the group which happily share their knowledge. You get great support after you have taken the puppy home. I was told recently that someone had brought pups all their life but never had experienced a breeder who shares photos with a passion, makes their dogs toys, sends them home with cushions, colours and blankets. To me its all part of loving the babies and wanting them to go home with some familiar items.
I always say the most important thing I can do for you is pay my vet to give a thorough health test to your puppy. I also pay for an individual letter for each puppy, which is worth its weight in gold. This means you are collecting a healthy puppy and we do not sell any dog which has anything wrong with it.
We go the extra mile, and I do not have another job so I am here with our babies 24/7 and if I have an emergency I will never leave with out puppy sitters. Our dogs are given the best life I can give them. I always say the day I cant, I would give it all up as dogs mean so much to me they are family. They deserve the best I can give them. They eat a fabulous diet and have treats every single day of their lives, so we give them enrichment through toys, treats, exercise.
I do everything correctly when breeding dogs, which includes being self employed and submitting a tax return which some breeders seem to forget about.
Our parents are given a parasite test before mating and make sure they are worm and Giardia free. Our parents are vaccinated for core vaccines, plus dogs which go to Europe are vaccinated for Rabies.

CONTACTING ME
I am not the easiest person to get hold of as I do not carry my mobile with me all the time. If you can text me around 10.30 am in the morning I will answer and arrange to call you back during a time that suits us both. Although I do not do evenings. You may think this is odd, but I have fibromyalgia and anyone with ME and fatigue knows that by late afternoon your energy goes completely. Because I have so much to do on a daily basis I limit my calls to 2 phone call appointments per day. If Im showing then weekends are out. But you can text me and see if I am about.
INSTAGRAM
