Questions for you to answer for Vizsla enquiries
Why ask questions? Simply to help give us a good idea on your family life, and if you will cope with a Vizsla. The Hungarian Vizsla is not an easy puppy and many people struggle in the first 3 weeks.
If you can copy and paste the answers into an email I will answer as soon as I can. If you hear nothing from me with in five working days then contact me again. Text me first between 10.30 am to 1.30pm Monday to Friday and I will arrange a call back at a time. Suitable for us both to chat.
During 2020.2021 Prices of dogs went up. We kept our prices below what’s seen on the pets sales websites. But we do have to charge for our puppies to find suitable homes, ones that wont sell on the puppy. We do extensive health testing which now costs more money than before covid. Our vet has put his prices up which has a knock on effect. If you can not afford a puppy, then consider a rescue dog, or an older dog from breeders. Every dog deserves a home.

- Do you work full time or part time?
- If you work how many hours per day will you be away from home each day?
- Are you single, married or living with a partner, friend ?
- Who will the dog primarily belong too?
- Do you have children? If yes what are their ages?
- Do you have any other pets, and if yes what are they?
- If you own an older dog, how does the dog respond to other dogs it meets in the park?
- Do you understand the Vizsla is a boisterous breed of dog, and will knock you over?
- Do you understand that when people talk about mouthing puppies, its one of the biggest challenges people go through when taking on a Vizsla. They can really hurt. ?
- Will you go to training classes? If yes what kinds of classes do you have in mind?
- Do you live in a house with garden?
- If yes is your garden well fenced in ?
- Do you have access to walks from your home?
- Do you live in a flat? If yes are you top floor or ground floor with access to a garden?
- Do you realise that dogs are not adults until 18 months plus, and in some cases you see maturity at 3 years of age. You should not over exercise any puppy until 18 months of age.
- Do you realise the Vizsla is the most agile dog in the gundog group and can climb fences, or dig under one if it desired.
- Have you owned a Vizsla before, or own one now?
- Can you wait for a puppy?
- Are you on anyone elses waiting list?
- You may not of heard of Lucy’s law. This came in April 2020 to stop the resale of puppies with out the mother present. Which means you can not resell your puppy after you have brought it until it reaches 6 months of age. It should be returned to the breeder if the breeder can take it in, or given to a rescue centre. It is wise to do your research first before finding you can not cope with a Vizsla.
- In 2019 the law changed on dog breeding and if a breeder sells a dog they are required to have a breeders license, be aware that the majority of breeders still refuse to buy one, and make excuses as to why they do not have one. Rest assured we have one. Ask breeders if they have a license.
- If you buy a dog off us you will not resell to a trader or dealer, or puppy farmer.
- Can you exercise the dog yourself?
- Breeders who protect the breed will place a breeding endorsement on the KC document and you sign a contract to state you are in full understanding their is an endorsement. We will not lift endorsements on pet litters.
- If you are someone we know well in the show world wanting a new blood line we will sell a puppy with out an endorsement on. But we have to know you first. But we do require the health tests to be done on the dog.
COVID
We have all gone through a very difficult 18 months with Covid and lockdowns. Restrictions were placed on breeders, which it seems most ignored. From July 19th the restrictions are lifting, which means we can get back to some normality. However I have to keep in place certain rules because one of our family members is frail and at the end of her life.
To reserve a puppy this can be done by a deposit. Visits to see your puppy aged 5 weeks will go ahead. However we will do our visits and pick ups from our grooming parlour or summer house. I have a selection of shop items you can purchase when you collect your puppy..
A maximum of two people for visiting. We will continue to use hand sanitiser, and its up to you if you wear a mask, but if anyone has Covid or signs of Covid please do not visit us. We can rearrange the appointment once your no longer carrying it.
You will always meet mummy dog, and daddy dog if we own him, or grandmothers etc. We are proud of our dogs and love you to meet them.

Questions for you to answer if you are interested in a Pug or French bulldog.
FRENCH BULLDOG & PUG
FRENCH BULLDOG & PUG
- Do you work full time?
- Do you work part time? If so what are your hours?
- Do you have children? If yes what are their ages?
- Do you live with someone, or alone?
- Do you live in a house with a garden?
- We do not sell dogs for breeding, so all come endorsed. Please do not apply if you wish to breed dogs.
- Have you owned this breed before?
- Do you understand about the breed not coping in hot weather? What would you do to ensure your dog is kept cool.
- Do you realise these dogs should not be over exercised in the first year of life, and even then they require different exercise to other breeds of dog. Do you understand why?
- Will you take up health insurance for your dog? Ideally the highest cover of 15k. Always take cover up for the day you collect the puppy.
- I would hope you train your dog at an obedience school. Can you tell me a little bit about how you will go about socialisation for your puppy and training? But we know this is not possible with Covid 19.
- Do you understand what Colour Not Recognised means? We breed only pure pedigree French bulldogs from top blood lines. We do not breed unrecognised colours. If you see a fawn puppy sitting in a litter with unrecognised colours, it means your puppy is not a true pedigree fawn french bulldog. To read more then read our French bulldog and Pug pages.
- Health tests are set out by the Kennel club and the only required test for a Pug is Boas, and for French bulldogs its hereditary cataracts, boas and BVA eye testing.
- We do not take deposits immediately with french bulldogs. The puppy must be 3 weeks of age and have gained constant weight from birth. It is common to loose Bracycephellic breeds due to the construction of the dog. We take a deposit on a Pug once its 10 days of age and eyes are open.
- We do not add you to our waiting list if you are on anyone else.
- Please note none of our puppies are vaccinated due to the increased risk to health of a vaccine reaction and a puppy should be older than 9 weeks before vaccines are completed.
