🐾 What Your Puppy Will Leave With
Each puppy will leave us with:
• Full primary vaccination course (both L2 vaccinations administered)
• Microchip
• Two comprehensive veterinary health checks
• Our detailed puppy-raising handbook
• Several days’ supply of raw food to help with the transition to their new home
We place great emphasis on producing puppies that are not only healthy, but also well-prepared for life with their new families.
🏡 Early Development & Socialisation
Our puppies are raised within the home as part of everyday family life, never in kennel blocks. We have six children who are heavily involved in the care, socialisation, and showing of our dogs.
Puppies are raised using a structured, experience-based socialisation programme that we have refined over many years. They grow up alongside our established adult pack, allowing them to learn:
• Appropriate canine communication
• Emotional stability and resilience
• Boundaries and manners from an early age
We consider this early education fundamental to producing confident, well-adjusted dogs.
For this reason, we do not allow puppies to leave before 10 weeks of age and will often keep them until 12 weeks where beneficial to their development. We firmly believe younger puppies are not yet ready physically or mentally to leave their littermates, increasing the risk of stress-related illness and behavioural issues later in life.
Additional Information
• Pyrenean Mastiffs are among the rarest dog breeds in the world, with an estimated global population of just over 3,000 registered dogs.
• Although originally bred as livestock guardians, their gentle, calm, and affectionate nature has enabled them to transition exceptionally well into family homes.
• We have dedicated years to researching, promoting, and supporting this magnificent breed within the UK and are committed to finding only the very best homes for our puppies.
• Puppies are raised on our farm and are introduced to livestock as soon as it is safe to do so. We are happy to provide advice and ongoing support for owners wishing to utilise their dog as a livestock guardian.
• We actively encourage participation in showing and will happily provide guidance and mentorship to anyone interested in exhibiting one of our dogs.
• We are equally delighted for our puppies to join loving family homes where they will simply be cherished companions. Ultimately, a caring and committed home is what matters most.
• Puppies are raised on a high-quality raw diet alongside a cold-pressed complete food, allowing owners flexibility to feed either raw or dry. We will not place a puppy in a home intending to feed low-quality extruded kibble, as nutrition is fundamental to health, longevity, and overall wellbeing.
