I am Natalie, I qualified as a veterinary nurse 25 years ago. I specialised in breeding and emergency nursing. I live on a 16 acre smallholding on the edge of the Cotswolds and have a range of animals such as dogs, cats, horses, sheep, pigs, goats and rheas. The welfare of any animals in our care is always paramount. We only have a litter of puppies if we want to keep a puppy ourselves. We have 5 dogs ourselves and this is the first litter we have had in 4 years. Our dogs all live indoors as part of our family.
