DNA profile
The breeders listed below are in the main show / hobby breeders and only have the occasional litter.
PLEASE NOTE: Our responsible breed club members do hip & elbow score ALL their breeding dogs, they also use Kennel Club recognised DNA laboratories for testing their dogs for DM, MDR1, PD & CH. Please always ask to see BOTH parents health screening documents e.g. the EXTREMELY IMPORTANT Hip & Elbow certificates from the BVA or another overseas recognised scoring organisation. Please be aware of other breeders that say their dogs have not been scored due to Covid or make some other excuse for breeding with dogs that have really bad scores of hips/elbows. The health and welfare of their dogs and that of the breed are not their top priority.
More show breeders have imported WSSD’s which are bringing new lines to the U.K. and some now have offspring from U.K. resident show dogs. Quite a few of these show breeders have become members of our Breed Club and soon (fingers crossed) we hope to see more Breeders listed below and bring more possibility of having a WSSD puppy in your life.
