Welcome to the family .

My name is Jayne and my husband is Paul. We have two children, Connor our son and Taylor our daughter, and we all live together nice and cosy with our 3 Bordeaux's, two Cats, an Iguana and a Chameleon.

 

                           

         Below is Iggey our Iguana. She comes out often and runs free with our dogs .

      

 I've had dogs in my life from the time i was born, whether it be Labradors, Springer Spaniel or Beagles, and as i grew older I couldn't imagine life without a dog and I knew that the day I had my own home and family, it was a dog that would complete the family unit.

My first family dog was a Basset Hound, I had always wanted one of this breed and from a very young age i already new the name i was gonna give him and that was Butler.

When the time was right I set out to find my Basset , And find him I did. Butler was a beautiful example of the breed and everyone that passed him in the street would stop us to admire him and comment on him. Butler was loved very much by us and anyone who knew him .

Although I love all dogs i really thought that the Basset was the only breed for me. That was until i came face to face with the Dogue De Bordeaux, who's whole look and nature melted me and I begged my husband for a Bordeaux and a play mate for Butler .

Just like i had studied the Basset Hound, I began to study the Bordeaux, reading everything i possibly could on the breed and the breeding side of things and the more I learnt the more I was hooked, and very soon I had found my Bordeaux; She was just stunning and had a temperament and nature to die for and she settled in immediately.

As we didn't get her till she was four and a half months old she had already been given a name ..( Sapphire ) so we shortened her name and double-barrelled it and she became Saffy Ann.

Saffy Ann reached the age of about 7 months when sadly my beloved Basset, Butler passed away. We were absolutely devastated and I soon came to realize Saffy was missing her play mate and so we set out to find her a new buddy .

It took what like seemed forever to find the right Bordeaux for us and then about 6 months down the line we found Doofus our new Bordeaux. He was the cutest little boy and we immediately fell for him and from the moment Doofus was introduce to Saffy Ann they hit it off and they are now so close.

Both Saffy Ann and Doofus love their creature comforts, and yes I have given in to their soppy faces, and the sofa is where they chill in the evenings lapping up all the cuddles and kisses they can get.

Just recently saffy ann had her first planned litter ,she was a great mum and although Doofus wasn't the dad saffy ann and doofus worked together caring and raising the little pups .At this point of our story is where our 3rd bordeaux comes in .Delilah is her name and she is beautiful, she was 2nd born out of saffy ann's litter and i just new she was for us from the moment she came into our world ,she has a nice mix of both sire and dam's looks and has saffy ann's outstanding nature .Delilah settle straight away and loves play fighting with our other bordeaux's ,she loves the sofa, kisses and cuddles and rides in the car ,just like our other bordeaux's.

We will be planning for our 4th bordeaux in the near future ,it's seems i really can't get enough of this stunning breed .

We live ever so slightly in town from the seaside, surrounded by miles of fields and woodland areas that our home looks onto, where as a family and with our Dogues we all go to enjoy some time together .

Saffy Ann , Doofus and Delilah love to take a ride in the car especially to collect Connor and Taylor from school as they get truly pampered by all of the kids Well lets face it how could you resist the beautiful Bordeaux face that seems to say "please stroke me ".

Saffy Ann , Doofus and Delilah are great guard dogs but at the same time gentle, loving, well behaved, calm dogs, who hang on my every word and are truly devoted to us, and we truly are devoted to them.

                                                                              DID YOU KNOW ?...

        Taking your dog from the breeder to your home in a car can be a very uncomfortable experience for you both .The puppy will have been

        taken form his warm ,friendly, safe environment and bought into a strange new environment .An environment that moves ! Be prepared for

        loose bowels ,urinating, crying, whining etc.....with proper love and encouragement when you arrive home ,the stress of the trip 

        should quickly disappear .

        It will take at least 2 weeks before your new puppy becomes accustomed to their new surroundings .Give him / her lots of love , attention ,

        handling , frequent opportunities to relieve themselves ,a diet he / she likes to eat and a place to call their own .
