Our Kennel ~ Meet the Swish pack

 

 

Stud Services

We welcome enquiries from individuals and kennels who share our commitment to responsible, diversity-focused breeding. If you are interested in pairing one of our stud males with your female, please get in touch—we are always happy to discuss potential matches and help you find the most suitable partner for your bitch.  

​

Visiting & Transport
All females must visit the stud male at our home address. If preferred, transport by a reputable courier can be arranged. For dogs residing within the UK, we offer live cover only. For international breeders or individuals, we are pleased to provide exported frozen semen for their bitch.

​

Breeding Requirements
To ensure safe, ethical breeding practices, bitches must be at least 2 years old at the time of mating and no older than 7 years and 6 months. Additionally, all breeding females must have whelped their first litter before reaching 5 years of age.

​

Health & DNA Testing
All females must complete Embark’s Breeder DNA testing as well as any necessary breed specific health testing prior to mating, including testing for Pituitary Dwarfism with Laboklin as Embark do not currently test for this. This allows us to review the predicted COI% for any potential litters and to confirm that neither parent carries or is affected by inherited genetic conditions or colour/trait-linked health issues.

Females must also be microchipped and DNA profiled through Laboklin.

​

Breeding Ethics
We do not pair our stud males with any female that has previously required a C-section. Likewise, if any of our own females were ever to require a C-section (none have to date), they would be spayed and retired.

We believe all dogs should be capable of mating, tying, carrying and whelping naturally.

​

Further Information
Copies of health test results and full details for any of our dogs are available on request.
