Fran B
Irish Wolfhound Breeder
"We are very careful in placing our puppies. In forty years we have only had two returns because of extenuating circumstances. We provide health certificates of parents and puppies, insurance, a care booklet and diet sheet, food, toys and a blanket. Most importantly we provide our contact details and make sure we are available 24/7 should new owners need us."

Lynne
Cockapoo Breeder
"Our new puppies become part of our family from day 1 and are raised to be loving family pets within a family environment. We socialise them in a busy, noisy, household so they are well used to household life. We only use fully health tested studs and our girls are also health tested. Ensuring we raise healthy happy puppies. We love our girls and their health and needs always comes first."

Julia F
Cavalier King Charles Breeder
"I've been breeding dogs for 30+ years. I'm passionate about my dogs and breeding for health and temperament. All my dogs are home reared, I have no kennels. We follow the Puppy Culture and BioSensor programmes to ensure our pups are the best they can be."
BREEDER FAQs
Read through some of the common breeder questions below.
We support and appreciate our wonderful breeders and learn to spot the puppy owners they prefer. Our service is completely free for the good breeders we work with. We do charge new dog parents a small fee on success, which further shows their commitment to making the right decision. But we only take a fee if they get matched with the puppy that completes their family.
Tailwise makes it easier for the people who really care about dogs to find each other. They can avoid rubbing shoulders with undesirable people who seek to scam and exploit and ensures the dog has the best chance of becoming a beloved family pet. We want to make good breeders feel supported and enable them to mentor the next generation to ensure that home breeding becomes the norm and that breeding slavery can become a distant, ugly memory..
