Topnote Kennels
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 3 girls, Penny and Amy, who have been together since they were pups, they each had their first litter this in 2018. Then there is Bella who will join our breeding programme once she is 2 years old.
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.

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.
Hip and elbow score 2.
