Based in the south taranaki we have 3.5 acres of paddocks and are close to beaches and mountain rivers where our dogs get to run, swim and chase hares. Although our dogs are pets they come from hunting and show backgrounds and all have beautiful temperaments.

As Dogsz NZ accredited breeders you know that our dogs and their pups are well cared for and loved. Pups are raised in our home and are well handled every day and although we don't have children at home we borrow kids to socialize our pups from 4 weeks of age, the pups are also exposed to cats and chickens as well as lots of noisy things like mowers, trombones, drums, saxophones.

We currently have 4 girls, Penny and Amy, who are enjoying their retirement. Bella, who has just had her final litter, Bella is an exception mum, very diligent! Then there is Maggie-May who will join our breeding programme once she is 2 years old.

Satchmo is our very own sire, he is a big handsome boy, incredibly gentle. Satchmo was born during the 1st lockdown, to our Amy. Bella and Satchmo have an incredible bond and he has sired all her litters.

We also have Tiny Tim, he was from Penny's first litter and had a cleft palate. Although the vet offered to euthanise him, we hand reared him and eventually had his palate repaired. He is no longer so tiny and enjoys a normal life of leisure swimming and chewing sticks and bones and 'helping' his mum round up the chickens. Tim is NOT a breeding dog, just an adorable pet.

Litters Expecting

none at the moment

Litters Available

We currently have a litter of black pups. Born on Feb 9, 2025 they will be ready to leave from April 4. There are 2 boys and 4 girls, they are all doing well eating solids and getting rowdy (between sleeps). We handle the pups everyday so they get lots of cuddles; we make a point of exposing them to as many experiences as possible, these usually include: dogs, cats, chooks, loud noises, musical instruments, bath-time, although we don't have kids at home we encourage families to visit so the pups experience kids too.

TOPNOTE KING LOUIE

Satchmo, the handsome boy! From a litter of 2,  he was our Amy's lockdown baby. He is a big boy (we had to get rid of our coffee table as his tail was breaking too many wine glasses!) 

Satchmo has a very sweet nature and totally adores our Bella, he believes everyone is his friend and has been known to greet tradies with a possum tail as a gift!

Highly motivated by food, our Satch cruises around our fruit trees stealing all manners of delights.

PENNY MAY OF AWAVALE

Penny, adorable playful girl. Penny has so many delightful aspects to her personality she loves to cuddle but she gets a mischievous look in her eye and starts a game. She has an excellent body clock and let's you know if anything that she is interested in is behind schedule! Penny loves to swim and fetching sticks - are her favorite, but if you throw it she will go after it. Penny has not been trained to retrieve game but she follows her nose strongly and it has been suggested she would have made a good truffle dog.

Penny had her first litter in 2018, a mixture of yellows and blacks, several have become hunting dogs. They were all totally adorable, well socialized babies who quickly adapted to their new homes.
