Questions for you to answer
This page has been created so that you can read the kind of questions that Im going to ask you when you ring, email or text. The reasons are, if we do not ask questions we could be selling a puppy to a home that couldn't cope with it.
PLEASE NOTE
Since lock down the amount of puppy enquires has escalated to something I never quite expected. Some are very genuine enquiries who have thought long and hard about having a puppy. But their are lots of people who think a dog will entertain the kids during lockdown, or gives them a reason to be out walking. I need you to understand that during lockdown their are no vets open, only for emergencies, no training centres open. The potential increase in rescues later this year now is high. The Vizsla is one breed of dog which needs to be brought in normal times, because they require much more than sitting on your lap, or being in your garden.
Just last week 3 dogs were returned to breeders because owners couldn't cope. 4 dogs which were over the age of 2 were returned to breeders who suddenly didnt want the dog any more. Thankfully not us!
We are expecting an announcement later, not be out of lock down, but certain things will be relaxed a little. However it does look like social distancing will continue for 12 months. This does have an effect on dog breeding as we have to uphold the law. But it does look like we will be able to breed our girl Brooklyn when she comes into season.

- Have you heard of Lucy’s law? This means if you do not want your dog up to the age of 6 months you have to either return to the breeder or take dog to a rescue centre. You do not get a refund on your dog, so think carefully if you give up your dog. Its a great responsibility. Up to April of 2020 you could of resold your dog, but now you can not.
- You are welcome to send me photos of your home or garden if you wish.
