Tilly proved to be a very diligent mum and her puppies as they grew, displayed the friendly and outgoing temperaments that we would have expected from such a mating.
All of these puppies have gone to their new homes but there is a possibility that we may have another litter from Tilly in the spring of 2010, although the Sire has yet to be decided. For further details please contact Penny on 07773 782888.
Klancraig are a small family kennel based in Shropshire. We are not commercial breeders but are registered as Accredited Breeders by the Kennel Club. We hip score all of our dogs and bitches from whom we wish to breed and these dogs and bitches are also DNA tested clear of Von Willebrand Disease (or they are clear by parentage). As other DNA tests are made available for other conditions affecting our breed we will test accordingly, since we take the health and welfare of our dogs and puppies very seriously. We only breed from dogs and bitches of sound temperament and that come from proven show and working lines.
Taking on a GWP puppy (as with any puppy) is a big responsibility, as is finding the right homes for those puppies. When our puppies go to their new homes, we like to keep in touch with our ‘puppy people’ and follow the development of our puppies. We offer lifetime help and advice to our puppy owners. All our puppies are registered with the Kennel Club ‘Progeny Not Eligible for Registration’ and this is to protect our puppies from ending up with puppy farmers and indiscriminate breeders who do not know and understand the lines from which they are breeding and have no intention of offering any backup support. These people exist and are responsible for many of the dogs who appear in GWP Rescue.
If for whatever reason families need to rehome a dog that they have purchased from us – no matter what the age of that dog – we will ALWAYS be happy to take the dog back or assist in rehoming it to a suitable home.
Our puppies will be docked and therefore microchipped (a prerequisite of the docking legislation). They will be reared in our home on a natural diet (ie no commercial puppy milk, biscuit or kibble) and well handled by our children and will be accustomed to the hustle and bustle of family life. They will be ready to go to their new homes at eight weeks of age. When they leave they will have six weeks free insurance which we strongly recommend be continued. They will be accompanied by a Contract of Sale (a written agreement between Klancraig and the new owners), the Kennel Club Registration Documents, a Fact Sheet on the care of the new puppy, a comprehensive Diet Sheet and a generous supply of food – probably enough for the first couple of weeks.
If you are interested in a puppy from us or wish to meet our dogs, please contact Penny on 07773 782888 and we will be happy to discuss your enquiry. If we do not have a puppy available for you we will do our best to point you in the direction of a reputable kennel from which puppies might be available.
Very occasionally, we might have older puppies or young dogs and bitches available to suitable homes.
